GeoWeb 2007 Call for Papers Issued

The conference organisers of GeoWeb 2007 today issued a Call for Papers. GeoWeb 2007 will again take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from 23rd to 27th July. Conference meetings will be held at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue.

GeoWeb 2007’s principal theme, “From Mashups to Infrastructure” acknowledges the highly visible, consumer applications that helped spawn the GeoWeb while emphasising that the GeoWeb is increasingly playing a meaningful role in mainstream, mission-critical applications. As such, the GeoWeb is now a key component in critical decision making across a broad spectrum of market segments and application domains.

Conference papers will reflect topics such as, Web services, service-oriented architecture and business and policy issues that are relevant in the context of the GeoWeb. Connecting these topics to working solutions in specific, market segments is a key objective of this years conference program. As such, connections between the topics above and specific market or domain solutions should be evident in the papers themselves. Market segments of particular interest include nautical and aeronautical information systems; defense and homeland security; consumer and mainstream business services; municipal information systems and global spatial data infrastructure; disaster management/emergency response; environmental systems, energy and utilities applications; asset management and transportation and logistics. In addition, there will be one or more sessions devoted to technology innovations in the past year that impact the GeoWeb.

Prospective speakers should submit abstracts no longer than 200 words and include the presentation title, the name of the presenter or presenters, the presenting organisation and their preferred theme. Abstracts must be e-mailed to papers@geoweb.org by 15th February 2007.

GeoWeb 2007 is the second annual and exclusive event focused on the development and monetisation of the GeoWeb and is organised via partnership between Galdos Systems Inc. (Galdos) and the Geospatial Information Technology Association (GITA).
