This March 2018 continues to feature a special topic of “Urban Analytics and Mobility”. The choice for this topic follows the rapid trend of the last years: The UrbanGIS’17 workshop at SIGSPATIAL 2017 was one of the largest workshops, many papers and research sessions focused on related topics, and the SIGSPATIAL 2017 keynote by Bryan Mistele, Founder & CEO of INRIX, discussed many future challenges in urban environments.

In this November 2017 issue, the first section continues the tradition of highlighting the top papers selected for the 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL Student Research Competition (SRC) held at the ACM SIGSPATIAL 2017. The second section consists of workshop reports of workshops that were co-located with SIGSPATIAL 2017.

The mission of this special issue “Indoor Spatial Awareness (Part 2)” is to bring together scientists and researchers who work on different topics of indoor spatial awareness and to provide a venue for inspiring new research directions in all relevant aspects.
