I would like to thank all participants for their great
contribution to the success of GIS-IDEAS 2010.

 (Japan, Germany,USA, Switerzland, Taiwan). and 87 from Vietnam.
It was nice to see many student participants from Vietnam.

Apart from problem with some authors not being able to
show-up for their presentations, the conference went off smoothly
with active discussions.

version of full-papers and abstracts are available at
