Abstract

The 21st ACM SIGSPATIAL Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was held in November of 2013 in Orlando, Florida. Following the success of last year's event, we organized the second programming contest associated with the conference, called the SIGSPATIAL GIS Cup 2013. The subject of the competition was Geo-fencing, which identifies the qualified point and area pairs using a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area. We describe the contest details, and the results, as well as the lessons learned during the process.
