Call for Participation -- Service-Oriented Architecture Workshop at GIScience 2008
Expected topics for this workshop include, but not are limited to, the following themes that are relevant to the architecture design and implementable in the system operation process. A fundamental question is how the renovated architecture will enable the realization of Semantic Web Services while the architecture operates as an ordered self-organization through such thematic research.
|
- System research and engineering of geospatial Web services
|
|
- Cybernetics for uncertainty reduction in SOA
|
|
- Information theory and implication on geospatial SOA construction
|
| - Artificial intelligence for geospatial service discovery, matchmaking and integration |
| - Service description and specification of geospatial Web services for data sharing and processing |
| - Scalability, performance, and communication of geospatial Web services |
|
- Cognitive psychology and machine learning for service discovery and matchmaking
|
| - Ontology of geospatial Web services |
| - Semantic Web and new standard generation for geospatial Web services |

Call for Participation -- Cyberinfrastructure workshop at GIScience 2008
CI workshop at GIScience 2008 aims to:
- introducing this emerging topic to interested GIScientists attending the conference, including sub-topics such as:
|
- Geospatial meaning making through semantic integration;
|
|
- Geomiddleware;
|
|
- Using data autonomous sensor networks;
|
| - Distributed geospatial data collection, storage, and analysis; |
|
- Synthesizing distributed data for display;
|
| - Context modeling; |
| - Probabilistic modeling; |
| - Semantic, tool, and model interoperability; |
| - Validation, epistemology for agent-based models; |
| - Web portals, web services; |
| - Spatial-temporal 3D modeling, volume, true 3D; |
| - Rapid transformations on the web (e.g., projections); |
| - High performance computing; |
| - Geospatial decision support tools |
facilitating further dialogue and strategizing on this emerging topic, especially how to bring geospatial and GIScience in CI more to the fore at NSF; and
-
discussing work in progress in CI among colleagues and how GIScientists might extend this work by additional funding (i.e., workplans for future collaborations, organizing proposal teams for upcoming calls).

Call for Registration-- 2008 Geography Faculty Development Alliance Workshop
Registration has begun for the 2008 Geography Faculty Development Alliance Workshop at the University of Colorado at Boulder. It will be held at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 15-21 June.
This is the first time participants will be covering the costs of the workshop and we need a minimum of 22 people to cover costs. We are hoping that the registration fee will be covered in whole or part by participants' home departments and colleges. A discounted fee is available for participants wishing to make their own housing arrangements in Boulder.
Registration this year is through the AAG website at http://aag.org/GFDA/earlycareer.htm . It is not necessary to be a member of the Association of American Geographers to register for the workshop and enter the website. The registration fee of $1,250 ($1,150 before 25 April) includes a single dorm room, breakfasts, lunches & refreshments, two dinners, supplies, meeting rooms, computer network and printing access, graduate student support staff, and support for the workshops and teaching staff leaders.
For further information about the workshop please contact: Professor James W. Harrington, Jr. (jwh@u.washington.edu), Department of Geography, University of Washington or Professor Ken Foote (k.foote@colorado.edu), Department of Geography, University of Colorado. Information about the project is available at: http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gfda/gfda.html or please download it here . |
