UAS Summit - Zivile Drohnen in der praktischen Anwendung
Donnerstag, 4. Juli 2013 | 9:00 - 18:00
Unbemannte Flugsysteme (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) stellen den Trend im Bereich
der primären (Bild-) Datenerfassung dar. Die hohe Flexibilität, die rasche Einsatzfähigkeit
und die sinkenden Anschaffungskosten tragen zur wachsenden Beliebtheit dieser
Technologie in den verschiedensten Anwendungsbereichen, vom Bild- und Videoflug
bis hin zur photogrammetrischen Auswertungen, bei. Wo liegen aber die technischen
und rechtlichen Herausforderungen, welche Workflows haben sich in der Praxis bewährt?
Diese Fragen werden am UAS Summit beantwortet: Vorträge zu Grundlagen sowie Best
Practice Beispielen werden durch Workflow Demonstrationen ergänzt, der Tag mit einer
Podiumsdiskussion abgeschlossen.

2013 European Open Data/PSI re-use

Varsó főtere az INSPIRE értekezlet idején. Kép: HUNAGI, 2004

Mai postánkból. Dr. Katleen Janssen a GSDI L&SE szakbizottság fórumán írja:

" Dear Sir, dear Madam,

You are warmly invited to the 2013 European Open Data/PSI re-use event of the year, organized by the ePSIplatform, Europe’s one-stop shop for PSI/Open Data re-use. The program will combine inspiring plenary sessions featuring top speakers with interactive parallel sessions.

Focus
PSI re-use is in the process of reaching a certain degree of maturity and uptake. However, this uptake differs significantly between Member States, PSI domains and stakeholders. The ePSIplatform Conference will therefore be aimed at those that should embark, but have (partly) failed to do so far: "Gotcha! – getting everyone on board".

You can find the preliminary program on our website.

Where and When: Save the Date!

The event takes place on Friday 22 February 2013 and is kindly hosted by the famous Warsaw University, in close collaboration with Centrum Cyfrowe, the leading Polish think tank on the role of ICTs in society.

Why YOU should be there

• You will be able to learn, share and inspire, and be inspired.
• You will have the opportunity to speak and be heard on the ongoing debate on the adoption of the PSI Directive.
• You will learn all about recent and upcoming Open Data/PSI developments.
• You will be able to put new challenges on the agenda.
• You will meet new people and engage with them face-to-face, and, of course
• You simply do not want to miss it!

Who else will be there?
Like at our 2012 ePSIplatform conference in Rotterdam, with well over 300 participants from 40 countries, the 2013 conference in Warsaw will attract a wide variety of stakeholders: Public data holders, application builders, data journalists, policy makers, competition authorities, Open Data community members, data portal owners, commercial re-users, start-ups, researchers, NGOs, and anyone with a passion for PSI/Open Data re-use.

Participation is free, and (free) registration for the conference is open.

We hope to see you there!

On behalf of the ePSIplatform team,

Katleen Janssen

FOSS4G 2013 Szabad- és nyíltforrású szoftverek a térinformatika számára

Mai postánkból:

" Submission for papers in the Academic Track of FOSS4G 2013 is now open on http://2013.foss4g.org/ojs/ 

The FOSS4G 2013 Academic Track is bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields.

With the Academic Track motto “Science for Open Source, Open Source for Science”, we aim to attract academic papers describing:

• the use of open source geospatial software and data, in and for scientific research, as well as
• academic endeavours to conceptualize, create, assess, and teach open source geospatial software and data.

Based on these categories, to promote a strong connection between the Academic Track and the other elements of FOSS4G 2013, we hope for contributions within the following themes:

• Data Quality, Software Quality and Service Quality
• Community Building
• Doing more for less: Assessment of costs and benefits of open source applications and open source business models
• Use of Open Data to inform public services
• FOSS and FOSS4g: Is spatial special?
• Architectures and frameworks for open source software and data
• Teaching Geospatial Sciences with open source solutions
• Open Source GIS application use cases: Government, Participatory GIS, Location based services, Health, Energy, Water, Climate change, etc.
• Human Computer Interfaces and Usability in and around Open GI systems

We invite academics and researchers to submit full papers in English, of maximum 6,000 words, before the deadline of 1 February 2013. More detailed requirements, regarding layout, formatting and the submission process, can be found on the FOSS4G 2103 Academic Track submission pages at http://2013.foss4g.org/ojs/
Your contributions will be reviewed (double-blind) by a diverse reviewing committee of experts in the field, who will be asked to assess the papers on originality and academic rigour, as well as interest for the wider FOSS4G community. We expect to select 20-25 papers for presentation and publication. From this selection, a maximum of 8-10 papers will be given the opportunity for inclusion in a special issue of the renowned international journal Transactions in GIS [1]. The remaining papers will be published in the online OSGEO Journal [2].
We would like to specifically invite “early stage researchers” (PhD students, PostDocs) to use this opportunity to aim for a high-ranking publication.
Authors of all selected papers will be expected to present their work in detail in a separate Academic Track (with 20-30 minute slots), and will also be given the opportunity to pitch the central theme of their paper in short ‘lightning’ talks to the larger community, to generate attention and cross-pollenate with industry, developers and users.
Important Dates:

• now: Submission open at http://2013.foss4g.org/ojs/
• 1 February 2013: Deadline for submission of full papers
• 1 April 2013: Reviewing decisions
• 1 May 2013: Paper revision deadline
• 15 September 2013: publication of selected papers

• 8-10 papers in Early View (on-line) Transactions in GIS
• others in on-line OSGEO Journal

• 17-21 September 2013: FOSS4G Conference
• early 2014: printed issue Transactions in GIS
