The 2009 Symposium is the 9th in the series and intends to provide an up-to-date review of the advances and recent developments in Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W2GIS). The continuing advances in the development of Wireless and Internet technologies generate ever increasing interest in the diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data of all types - geomedia. Spatially aware wireless and Internet devices also offer new ways of accessing and analyzing geo-spatial information in both real-world and virtual spaces. Consequently, new challenges and opportunities have been provided that expand the traditional GIS research scope into the realm of Intelligent Media including geomedia with context-aware behaviours for self-adaptive use and delivery. Our common aim is research-based innovation that increases the ease of creating, delivering and using geomedia across different platforms and application domains that continue to have a dramatic effect on society.
