[OSGeo-Discuss] Invitation for expressions of interest for Ordnance Survey Think Tank Session on Data Capture, modelling, and visualisation for ubiquitous LBS - 17 March 2009
Dear Colleagues, I am happy to invite expressions of interest for Ordnance Survey Think Tank Session on Data Capture, modelling, and visualisation for ubiquitous LBS to be held on 17 March 2009 (Tuesday) at The University of Nottingham. The Ordnance Survey has awarded a research contract to the Centre of Geospatial Science (CGS) to investigate future data and data management developments that might impact on Ordnance Survey's operations and services. Please see http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/cgs/projects_os.html for more details. In part fulfilment of this contract we are organising a series of Think Tank events to explore relevant technology developments and to better understand how these developments might influence and impact on spatial data capture and usage in the future. The first of the proposed Think Tank events is to be held on Tuesday 17th March at Nottingham and will cover the topics of Data Capture, modelling, and visualisation for ubiquitous LBS. The Think Tank Meeting will a one-day event with 10 experts drawn from a mix of academic, commercial and industry backgrounds. Selected experts may be invited to give brief presentations but in each case significant time will be allocated for discussion and open exploration of likely developments and potential consequences. The meeting will operate according to Chatham House rules. Interested participants are invited to submit short position paper (max 2 A4 pages) detailing their potential think tank contribution, expectations, vision and research interest, before 28 Feb 2009 to suchith.an...@nottingham.ac.uk Travel and accommodation costs of all the selected participants will be reimbursed. Selection of invited experts will be made by the Ordnance Survey. OS Think Tank Outcomes * Identify key research trends in this theme * Identify mid-term (2-3 years) and long-term (5 year) research challenges in ubiquitous LBS * Produce report on the Think Tank findings. We look forward to receiving your expressions of interest for the OS Think Tank Session on ubiquitous LBS. Please contact me for any information.

Hi, I'm looking after some articles, concerning usage of web services in agriculture or forestry. I would appreciate any links or pdfs or just a hint, where is the best place to start searching. You might want to check out http://www.nfis.org/ and http://atlas.agr.gc.ca/. Both are fine examples of using OGC standards for discovery, visualization, and access. ..Tom ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] OGRS2009 Call For Research Papers, Showcases and Labs - Deadline extension
-- OGRS2009 Call For Research Papers, Showcases and Labs - Deadline extension First International Opensource Geospatial Research Symposium 2009 Dates place: July 8th to 10th, 2009, Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France) Website: http://www.ogrs2009.org -- Dear colleagues, (our apologies for cross postings) From July 8th to 10th, 2009, during the tenth edition of Libre Software Meeting, the Research Institute on Urban Sciences and Techniques (IRSTV) in partnership with the University Of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland, Prefecture and Council of Region Pays de La Loire will organize a Research and Innovation Symposium about free and open source geospatial methods and technologies. Main goals of this symposium are : * to build a panel of new scientific works built on open source models or using open source tools * to build and discuss a scientific framework about open source technology usage (benefits and limitations) * to provide a platform to network and develop ideas for future collaborative works between the academic research world and the everyday operational world (companies, local authorities ...) The symposium will integrate scientific conferences (research papers), companies and authority testimonies (showcases) and training sessions (labs). Thus, we invite to submit contributions which can be : * a full paper or extended abstract for the research session, * an abstract for the showcase session, * an abstract for the lab session. Contributions should address the following overall topics but are not limited to : * Cartography and advanced styling ; * Cultural heritage ; * Earth Observation ; * From Webmapping to WebGIS ; * Integrated risk and disaster management for society ; * GIS and SDI interoperability (data, knowledge, language, ...) ; * GIS and SDI for participatory learning and action ; * GIS concept and theory (semantics and ontology) ; * Landscape and ecology ; * Spatial Analysis and Integration ; * Spatial and Spatio-temporal data and analysis ; * Sustainable Development and Governance ; * Urban and Environmental Planning ; * Visual Languages and Querying ; * Web and desktop convergence in the geospatial field. Keynote speakers : * Câmara Gilberto, Brazil's National Institute for Space Research * Neteler Markus, Fondazione Mach - Centro di Ecologia Alpina, Italia * Steiniger Stefan, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada See all committee members on OGRS2009 website : http://committee.ogrs2009.org Important : submission deadlines has been extended due to several requests from authors Research paper submission (see http://research.ogrs2009.org) : - Full paper : * Extended submission deadline : April, 3th 2009 * Submit a 500-1000 words abstract and a 12 pages full paper * Notification to authors: May, 11th 2009 - Extended abstract : * Extended Submission deadline : April, 3th 2009 * Submit a 500-1000 words abstract * Notification to authors: April, 29th 2009 Lab abstract submission (see http://lab.ogrs2009.org) : * Extended submission deadline : April, 3th 2009 * Submit a 500-1000 words abstract * Notification to authors: April, 29th 2009 Showcase abstract submission (see http://showcase.ogrs2009.org) : * Extended submission deadline : April, 3 th 2009 * Submit a 500-1000 words abstract * Notification to authors: April, 29th 2009 Contacts : * for research submission : resea...@ogrs2009.org * for lab submission : l...@ogrs2009.org * for other questions : i...@ogrs2009.org We would appreciate if you could kindly distribute this call to other interested parties of your acquaintance.
