AGILE Conference on Connecting through Location and Place

From 3 to 6 June 2014, the 17th International Conference on Geographic Information Science will take place in Castellón, Spain. The AGILE conference brings together geographic information researchers to meet and to exchange ideas and experiences at European level. The conferences are used to initiate and stimulate AGILE initiatives on specific subjects of special interest within the GI community.

This year’s conference will pay special attention to the role geographic information science and technology can play to connect European universities, research centres, industry, government and citizens in the digital information age.

The conference programme features a full line up of events including pre‐conference workshops, keynote sessions, parallel paper presentation sessions and a poster session to share ideas, and to explore on‐going research and future developments, including state‐of‐the‐art applications. Other networking and cultural activities will also take place during the conference.

There will be a set of interesting workshops with the following titles:

• Valarm-Esri ad-hoc; real-time mobile sensor networks in the cloud

• How to build an INSPIRE compliant SDI with open source software

• Digital Earth: What the hack?

• Geoprocessing on the web

• Geogames and geoplay

• Development Augmented Reality Applications for Google GLASS

• Sensor Web for Environmental Research

• COBWEB: Citizen Science, Quality and Standards.

The conference is an excellent occasion to promote academic teaching and research on GIS at the European level and to stimulate and support networking activities between member laboratories.
