2024 ICA Workshop on AI, Geovisualization, and Analytical Reasoning
Please note: This workshop takes place on Saturday, September 7, 2024, in Warsaw, Poland. It is possible to participate in this workshop without visiting the EuroCarto conference.
In the scope of this workshop, we invite short submissions (300-word abstracts or 2-page short papers). These submissions are expected to report on ongoing and emergent work that aims to tackle one of the many dimensions of cartography: specifically, we welcome those that relate to supporting geovisualization and analytical reasoning, including approaches that leverage AI methods applied at various stages: data processing, analysis, visualization generation and interpretation, as well as support in user perception interpretation. Broadly speaking, we are seeking work that focuses on understanding users, their cognitive processes, and/or their interactions with visual representations and computational methods via maps or geographic visualization. We welcome research that tackles these and related problem areas through computational, representational, artificial intelligence (AI), ethical, or contextual methodological lenses. This workshop will provide a forum in which new approaches and ideas can be discussed and where new research collaborations can be formed.
Early stage work is explicitly encouraged, especially by junior scholars or those who might be new to cartography. More details are available here: http://carto-vis-workshop.uw.edu.pl/
This workshop represents the joint efforts of the University of Warsaw Department of Geoinformatics, Cartography, and Remote Sensing in collaboration with the International Cartographic Association Commissions on Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization, Geovisualization, and User Experience (UX), as well as the ICA Next Generation Cartographers Working Group.

Barrier-Free Cartography
The concepts of inclusivity and accessibility have garnered increased attention in recent times, owing to the heightened societal consciousness on this matter. The ICA’s Barrier-free Cartography Working Group was established earlier this year to continue and extend the work of the former Commission on Maps and Graphics for Blind and Partially Sighted People. The primary objective of this working group is to advance the accessibility of cartographic products to all users and communities.
The idea is that special needs are not strictly related to physical aspects, and can also be related to social and educational aspects. These are also reflected in the UN’s SDGs that aim to “…ensuring that no one is left behind…”. Individuals with special needs remain underrepresented in the field of cartography. This underrepresentation may stem from the intricate and nuanced nature of their requirements, coupled with the need for highly tailored solutions. But what exactly are their needs? How can we define, develop, and promote barrier-free cartography, and who are the users that will benefit from accessible maps? We aim to provide a forum to address these questions and provide answers during the barrier-free cartography workshop.
You are warmly welcome to share your experiences, insights and research at the International Workshop on Barrier-free Cartography during EuroCarto 2024. The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, so we invite onsite and online presentations. The focus is on round table discussions and active engagement with the topics on offer. Participation is free, but due to the limited number of places, registration is required. Suggested topics can include, but are not limited to:
- Barrier types in cartography
- Defining target user groups, their needs and cognition characteristics
- Cultural, educational and economic aspects of barrier-free cartography
- Mapping for people with special needs
- Barrier-free cartography within the SDGs
- Guidelines, best practices and requirements imposed on spatial data
- Universal cartographic symbols
- User experience
- The decision-makers perspective

Building the road to AI – how cartography links data integration, meaning and geospatial knowledge transmission
Spatial information describes the geographical location of objects and features all around us. Knowing and understanding where these features are and how they relate to each other and different types of information, underpin national development, resilience and decision-making. Decisions are made based on knowledge, e.g. of the environment, provided by maps. The better the maps and their knowledge transmission, the better the decisions.
All countries need geospatial information to address their national strategic priorities. However, all countries have different levels of geospatial maturity. The United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) provides a basis and guide for developing, integrating and strengthening national arrangements in geospatial information management.
In this workshop, hosted by the ICA Commission on Integrated Geospatial Information for Cartography and Commission on Topographic Mapping, you will learn more about the development and activities of the UN-GGIM and UN-IGIF, how countries across Europe can adopt and implement the framework, how data can be provided via national Geoportals and how cartography builds the road to AI.

Collaborative mapping of commissions beyond the International Cartographic Association (ICA)
The critical use of maps promotes a collective exchange of information for
representing the under-represented in our world. Such a critical cartography finds its roots in participatory engagement and collaborative ingenuity. This finds resonance in the work of the ICA which organizes several member states into various commissions for cartographic research concerning geo-visualization, map history, map AI, and map ethics. Thus, each commission follows a particular research question while operating under its unique conception of maps. This raises a fundamental question for cartographic research: What is a map? The complexity of this question is best expressed by Cristian Jacob:
“The map does not define itself through what it represents. Neither does it define itself by its visual configuration. If a map assigns itself to the category of images, it does not present stable characteristics and is recurring like a landscape portrait or painting”
This workshop will allow participants to critically evaluate a landscape of map conceptions shaped by the ICA commissions. Drawing upon the work of the Iconoclasistas collective, the conception of a map as a collaborative practice will be explored. Through participatory methods, this workshop will reveal cartographic spaces where the ICA has yet to venture, both geographically and epistemologically.

Critical Cartography
Critical cartography has changed cartography fundamentally. For example, it has laid the foundations for participatory approaches, the critical reflection on maps as representations of power and expanded the range of topics covered by thematic cartography. In doing so, it has established an understanding for a change of perspectives.
Publications in recent years indicate a variety of perspectives on how critical cartography should be regarded against the background of current developments in the geo-information sciences (e.g. new software, new data resources, new end devices, new communication, artificial intelligence). What are the strengths of critical cartography today? Are aspects of critical cartography outdated and dysfunctional, resulting in a post-critical cartography? How should the critical perspective be evaluated against the backdrop of rapid technological changes, e.g. in the context of big data or artificial intelligence?
These and many more questions call for interdisciplinary exchange. We, Sebastian Meier (FH Potsdam) and Dennis Edler (Ruhr-Universität Bochum), therefore invite you to a joint workshop. We want to explore fundamental question around the current state of critical cartography. And invite researchers from all disciplines to share their diverse perspectives on this topic. The results will be published in a special issue entitled “The Future of Critical Cartography” in the journal “KN – Journal of Cartography and Geographic Information”.

Indoor location-based services (Indoor LBS)
People spend most of their time in indoor spaces, e.g., offices, malls, train stations, airports, etc. Due to the poor visibility caused by various indoor building elements (e.g., walls, columns, ceilings) as well as moveable facilities (e.g., tables), indoor maps and location-based services (LBS) are highly desirable for people, particularly those unfamiliar with environments, to assist their indoor activities, such as wayfinding, shopping, evacuation, asset management, etc. Despite its fundamental role, indoor LBS has not yet been paid sufficient attention to, which is thus concealing its potential in various indoor activities in different scenarios.
The research on indoor LBS is not trivial. On the one hand, its design closely depends on both indoor themes (e.g., airports, shopping malls) and target users (e.g., passengers under time pressure, visually impaired customers). Therefore, there is a huge need to investigate the indoor LBS requirements and guarantee its usability. On the other hand, the emergence of agents, such as air drones and service robots, results in more diverse indoor LBS with various indoor map formats, including floor plans, BIM models, depth images, and point clouds. However, this is also challenging to communicate indoor spatial information among different agents and collaboratively provide indoor LBS for human users as well as other agents.
As the first step to studying indoor LBS systematically, scholars from different disciplines, such as cartography, GIScience, architecture, human-computer interaction, etc., are welcome to join this workshop, which is hosted by ICA Commission on Location Based Services, to share the relevant research experiences, insights, ongoing and planned research. A special issue in a reputable journal in the field of cartography and GIScience is planned. The possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Cognitive factors for indoor location-based services and indoor maps
- Indoor localization and uncertainty modeling
- Data interpretation of indoor maps for agents (e.g., air drones, robots)
- Computational approaches to indoor map design
- Inclusive design of indoor LBS (e.g., visually impaired, mobility impaired)
- Novel interface of indoor LBS (e.g., VR, AR, MR)
- Time-aware indoor LBS
- Indoor visual analysis
- Indoor mobility analysis
- Indoor spatial analysis
- Indoor location management and privacy protection

Multiperspective Cartography in Conflict Visualisation
This workshop explores approaches, potentials and limitations of visualising multiple perspectives in peace and conflict cartography. It addresses complexities and uncertainties in how maps politicise space, and challenges in integrating critical perspectives in day-to-day cartographic research and practice. The engagement of maps with multiple perspectives is expected to enable discussions on scientific authority, transparency, and trustworthiness, as well as inclusion of bottom up and personal perspectives. The workshop takes up a reflective practice approach, starting from discussing existing examples of multiperspectivity in maps and visualisations (via short presentations). From there, participants work in groups on collecting and reviewing cartographic practices that engage with multiple perspectives in terms of both map analysis and production. The workshop aims to deliver an outline of a multiperspective approach to visualising peace and conflict, with the ambition of gathering a cartographic community around the topic.
Questions the workshop aims to tackle: Which cartographic tools enable multiple ways of seeing (e.g. map variables or cartographic focalisation)? What are the existing ways of visualising different perspectives in cartography? What is the relevance of positionality, contextualisation, narrativity and personal perspectives in articulating multiple geographies? What are the limitations and risks associated with visualising multiple perspectives?

Online User Experiments: Seeing What Map Users See without Seeing Them
Understanding user behavior and preferences is crucial for designing effective and engaging geovisualizations. Online user experiments are increasingly pervasive fueled by the Covid-19 pandemic, but they may not be ideal for capturing the nuance of user behavior, interaction, and decision-making processes. Online experiments offer advantages such as speedy data collection and ecological validity. In such experiments, eye tracking can offer many additional behavioral metrics to capture some of the missing nuances. However, utilizing built-in cameras of everyday devices (e.g., webcam, front-facing camera of smartphones) without active sensors means online eye tracking is still imperfect and cumbersome, even though we see substantial advancements in gaze estimation techniques in recent years through e.g., employment of unconventional deep neural network architectures.
This workshop is designed for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in conducting online user experiments in cartography with a special focus on webcam eye tracking to study map users’ behavior. Building up from a previous ICA workshop on “Workshop on Adaptable Research Methods For Empirical Research with Map Users”, we aim to collaboratively explore the possibilities and boundaries of the current state of conducting online experiments to inform cartographic practice and map use. This workshop represents the joint efforts of the ICA Commissions on Geovisualization and User Experience (UX).
Call for Presentations
The workshop will consist of a mix of presentations, hands-on activities, and discussions. The first half of our planned half-day workshop will be for participants to present Lightning Talks. In 10 minutes, presenters will showcase one major challenge or significant research gap that intersects online user experiment tools/techniques and cartography. Work-in-progress and creative approaches are especially encouraged. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, explore the latest advances and applications for conducting online experiments, and gain knowledge on webcam eye tracking. Example topics could include, but are not limited to:
- Designing effective online cartographic user experiments
- Challenges and opportunities of online experiments
- Data collection methods and metrics (e.g., eye tracking, mouse tracking, online surveys, etc.) relevant for online experiments
- Combine and/or compare online data and lab experiments including physiological or other sensor data (e.g., EDA, EEG, ECG, HRV, PPG, etc.)
- Utilizing webcam eye tracking to measure user attention and engagement
- Machine learning and webcam eye tracking
- Ethical considerations and privacy concerns in online experiments
- Software development and dataset distribution
- Multimodal information fusion and analyzing online experiment data
The submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organizers for clarity and fit with workshop themes by July 30, 2024. A final workshop agenda including accepted talks will be communicated by August 10, 2024.
You can find the structure / program of the workshop (provisional for now) here.

Participatory mapping – new approaches and technologies
Participatory mapping, a widely employed geographical method across disciplines, remains relatively underexplored within the International Cartographic Association. This workshop seeks to introduce three distinct participatory mapping apps/approaches: an in-situ participatory mobile app, a web-based participatory mapping tool, and a paper-based “paper2GIS” style app. Each method has the potential to target diverse groups and serve different mapping purposes.
During the first part of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experience these methods practically and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches. In the following second part, our goal is to initiate a discussion on the feasibility of establishing an ICA working group dedicated to Participatory Mapping. The workshop is open to all researchers who utilise participatory mapping methods or have an interest in this field.
The workshop will be practical, and you will need to have your own laptop and, ideally, a smartphone as well.

Storytelling with Geographical Visualization
This workshop explores how we express and communicate a current issue to a wide audience by visualizing geographical data. After an introductory talk on the implementation of cartographic design principles in data journalism (20 min), groups of participants will be given the task of devising a method for mapping a current issue using datasets, contextual maps, and drawing materials provided (70 min). After the activity, participants will be encouraged to feedback on their approach and discuss their decisions over the methods of representation chosen (30 min). The workshop provides an opportunity to discuss ways of visualizing data within the context of a current issue and by deliberately eliminating the need for technical skills in particular software. The workshop is therefore designed to maximise inclusivity (encouraging multinational and transgenerational participation) and to allow a greater focus on the process of creativity in exploring approaches to cartographic representation.

The Future of Atlases
What are the atlases of the future? If every map tells a story, then atlases are the storybooks and picture books of geography. For many of us, they are often just relics from our school days with many of us still keeping the copy as a precious memory of times when we dreamed of our own discovery of the world. By looking into the history of atlases, one can easily identify breaks in atlas manufacturing. These were driven by improving changes in different production parameters such as use and users, media and visualisation techniques or topics that resulted in a steady diversification of the atlas. Most of these developments are still important for the production of atlases, be it printing techniques, compilation procedures or topics. Today, such changes and improvements are being made continuously and at ever shorter intervals, with new factors such as user behaviour, marketing strategies or dwindling card reading capacities setting the stage.
These development lead to some important questions:
- How will atlases face the challenges of developing visualization models, shift in user demands and changing funding and distributing milieus to name just a few?
- How do the foundations of atlas concepts need to change or adapt to meet the changing conditions of the future information and knowledge society?
In this workshop, hosted by the ICA Commission on Atlases, we want to rethink atlases and develop new approaches to both atlas production and atlas research – focal points of the Atlas Commission’s work. We believe it’s about recombining content structures, technical developments, geographical information and the re-organisation of knowledge. We would like to approach this by answering the following questions:
- What will be the elements (or aspects) of an atlas of the future?
- How will atlases of the future be technically realised?
- What other aspects need to be taken into account in the future?
- What research topics need to be focused to scientifically support these points?
In order to have a common basis, the content-related work and discussions will be preceded by a brief impulse from the organisers. Specific questions are then examined in small working groups, with the results being discussed and prioritised before moving on to a second round of working groups. Participants are neither expected to be an atlas specialist nor to have ever produced atlases. An interest in cartography and geoinformatics and in research on the future of atlases – however you define this -, enthusiasm to think of new concepts and ideas and curiosity about alternative approaches and suggestions are very welcome. Working materials will be provided.
We would like participants to send us 100 words on their views on the future of atlases in advance, which we would send to all participants as an appetizer before the workshop.
We intend to continue working with the results in future workshops and online events and to take up specific important points to focus the work of the Atlas Commission in the next years.
