GEO tematikus műhely vízügyi témakörben

A földmegfigyelés társadalmi hasznot hozó tematikus területei közül a vízgazdálkodást de közvetetten a mezőgazdaságot, energiaszektort, katasztrófavédelmet és egészségügyet érintő műhely jellegű összejövetelre kerül sor 2010 február 23-24-én a newyorki City College-ban.
A GEO Titkárság igazgatója José Achache írta mai levelében:
" Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that GEO Integrated Global Water Cycle Observations
(IGWCO) Community of Practice will hold a two-day workshop on 23-24 February 2010,
followed by the annual science and planning meeting on 25-26 February 2010, hosted by
The City College of New York (CCNY).
The workshop on Water Resource Assessment and Applications will provide an
opportunity to discuss new ideas that could be brought under the IGCWCO umbrella and
linkages to ongoing activities within the GEO 2009-2011 Work Plan.
This year’s science and planning meeting will be an important occasion for reviewing
the activities of the GEO Water Societal Benefit Area (SBA), for identifying and initiating new
water cycle activities based in large measure on recommendations coming from workshops
held during the past year, and for determining how the IGWCO Community of Practice will
interface with the GEO and other international bodies during the coming years. The meeting
will also provide the opportunity to prepare for the GEO Work Plan Task Symposium, slated
for late May 2010 in Pretoria, South Africa.
In addition to updates on progress and plans for each of the subtasks in the Water
SBA of the GEO 2009-2011 Work Plan, a review of other GEO subtasks having a connection
to the Water SBA will be conducted. Examples include the User Survey of water data needs
(US-09-01a) and the on-going survey of water cycle data centers (DA-09-02a). Additionally,
possible linkages between the Water SBA and activities in Agriculture, Energy, Disasters and
Health SBAs will be explored.
The New York location for this meeting provides a good opportunity for colleagues
from North American, Europe and Asia to more fully engage in the IGWCO Community of
Practice. Participation of important players in the field of the hydrological cycle and Earth
observations will be invaluable in achieving the goals of this Workshop, and we kindly ask
that you, as an expert in operational and/or scientific aspects of the water cycle, consider
attending both the workshop and planning meeting.
GROUP ON
EARTH OBSERVATIONS
As an informal registration, please send an e-mail to crossroads@ccny.cuny.edu with
your name, affiliation, mailing address, and phone/fax number, and indicate whether you plan
to attend either the workshop or the science panel meeting, or both. Meeting logistics are

GIS-PRO 2010 URISA konferencia

Announcing GIS-Pro 2010: URISA’s 48th Annual Conference for GIS Professionals
Since 1963, URISA members and friends have convened annually to learn about, share and discuss all things geospatial. And now the name of URISA's annual conference has been updated to better reflect that focus. URISA is pleased to announce GIS-Pro 2010: URISA's 48th Annual Conference for GIS Professionals. The first conference under the new banner will take place September 28-October 1, 2010 in Orlando, Florida.
Along with the new conference name, GIS-Pro will reflect what GIS Professionals are looking for in a modern conference. Gone are restrictive conference tracks - what's in are coordinated themes, designed to move the conversation forward and interactively share information among conference participants.
The Conference Committee invites your participation. Proposals for presentations, interactive discussions, roundtables, and other content is invited and should fit into one or more of these conference themes:
Value of GIS – The value of GIS can theoretically be quantified in terms of Return on Investment (ROI), but the methodology for determining ROI for GIS has not been standardized. Proposals on this topic could include information on measured return on investment (as opposed to estimated cost/benefit analysis performed prior to implementation); various methods for funding and justifying funding for GIS implementation; and ways to articulate the financial/liability, economic, social or environmental impact of GIS for a jurisdiction, region or organization.
One Government – This concept is about multiple jurisdictions and overlapping levels of government (federal, state/provincial, regional, local) acting collaboratively. Proposals could include data sharing challenges and approaches; standardization and integration of data, applications and services; collaboration and communication that leads to a "one government" approach, and activities that promote government transparency and accountability.
Stewardship – The notion of stewardship is one of service and support to a community of data users. Often, the steward has a vested interest in maintaining particular data set(s) for his/her organization, but no mandate (or funding) to maintain it for the rest of the community. Proposals could include data management, maintenance and integration topics, metadata issues and processes, data governance approaches, and methods for treating data as an infrastructure, or other, asset.
Data-based Decisions – This is a hot topic in 2010 at every level. U.S. Congressional Hearings are even focusing on ways to drive decisions based on data and "place". At last year's Annual Conference, Dr. Wellar’s keynote focused on the need to manage various interrelated information infrastructures to make well-informed, accurate decisions, and the categorical need for GIS technology and geospatial sciences in that endeavor. Proposals could include Web 2.0 and social networking tools as a means of bringing information together and presenting it appropriately to everyone; promoting GIS use to decision makers; better ways to visualize change spatially and temporally; and managing interdependent information infrastructures with geospatial tools and techniques.
Training & Education – With geospatial technology changing more and more rapidly, the need for high quality training and education continues to grow. And with the economic downturn, training budgets have taken a significant hit. Proposals could include ideas and tactics for promoting K-12 geographic/geospatial education; use of social networking tools for training; and information on technology updates and issues.
Abstracts are due on or before February 23, 2010. Submit online at www.gis-pro.org
We've lowered registration fees to make the conference even more accessible. URISA members can register for the conference at the BEST VALUE rate of $350! Nowhere else will you find a world-renown GIS conference that is so affordable. Be sure to make plans to attend now. Registration materials will be available soon.

Call for Position Papers

Workshop on Movement Research: Are you in the flow?
AGILE 2010 Conference

http://agile2010.dsi.uminho.pt/

This is a discussion oriented workshop that will emphasise an in depth multi-disciplinary discussions on the latest research and new experimental approaches aimed at addressing the current gaps in knowledge in the field of movement analysis. The topics considered in scope for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

Tracking and Sensing Issues

- Experiences in providing the location of mobile objects: Is the future really about real-time processing? Do we really need massive data collection?

- Experiences with privacy as a concern when collecting the data sets: How to unravel trust and confidence problems, as well as security and privacy rights?

Methodological Issues

- Experiences in analysing tracking loggings: Can we really understand implicit and explicit rules underlying movement behaviour based on trajectory patterns?

- Experiences in developing and applying privacy preserving data mining, space-time reasoning, and visualisation techniques: What have been the advantages and limitations?

Technology Issues

- Experience with mobile technologies: How can we make better use of existing mobile technologies? Are there gaps? Is there a need for new technologies?

The workshop will be a one-day event and it will include two sessions:

- an initial session in the morning that will be devoted to short-presentations on of the identified issues. The aim is to address a specific outstanding key question in the field. Each speaker will be asked to include a final slide in their presentation summarising, in their opinion, the key outstanding questions in their specific area or interest, after which the session chair will open the floor for discussion. We hope that this format will provide the best atmosphere to promote dynamic discussion by all participants.

- a group session in the afternoon that will be dedicated to create an atmosphere that promotes interactions and exchange of ideas among participants by providing the participants with the opportunity to share ideas, meet fellow researches and discuss and plan potential collaborations.
