Call for Papers

AAG 2010 Organized Session: Open Source Tools & Standards in GISc Research and Education

Sponsored by the Cyberinfrastructure, Spatial Analysis and Modeling, and Geographic Information Science and Systems Specialty Groups
 
Seamless access to and the fusion of disparate geographic information sources, geographic and scientific visualizations, and geocomputations have been common challenges in scientific research across disciplines. To cope with these challenges in GISc research and education, open source platforms and tools from research communities (e.g., GRASS, Kepler, GeoTools, uDig, PostGIS, pySAL, OpenGeoDa, R-Geo, to name a few) and open GIS standards (e.g., OGC WMS, WFS, WCS, GML, KML standards, etc.) are gaining more attention in building a scientific research infrastructure and introducing more effective teaching tools. This session invites papers on state-of-the-art applications of open source tools & standards in GISc research, and in particular, welcomes papers on best practices in GISc education. Potential topics for this session include, but are not limited to:
 
* State of the art developments/applications of open source tools & standards in GISc research and education
* Case studies of open source tools & standards implementations: geographic information sharing, energy, resource management, climate change, etc.
* Case studies on the use of open source tools & standards in GISc education

To present a paper in the session:
1. Register and submit your abstract online (http://www.aag.org/annualmeetings/).
2. Email your presenter identification number (PIN), paper title, and abstract to s.ja...@csuohio.edu andluc.a...@asu.edu by October 26, 2009 (note the AAG abstract deadline is October 28, 2009)

Maybe I'll see some of you there. I'm going to be in the historical
geography session talking about gazetteers for the web. Too bad it's
not in Colorado where I could get in some spring skiing too.

Jeebus, I remember the days when you'd be driven to the farthest
corner of the internets for cross-posting like that. Does no one teach
you kids about netiquette these days? ;)

Sean,

The cross-posting, I felt, wasn't egregious. It was a CFP that hadn't hit the appropriate lists and the submission deadline was coming up fast. I also think that the internet has become much more specialized - so cross posting on lists is almost necessary. It just happens that you are one of the few in the union of at least two (if not all three) off the lists. I'd hardly call myself a "kid" - especially in Internet years. Or are you one of those curmudgeons who can't handle hitting the delete button in their email reader or somehow decry the waste of a few hundred bytes of bandwidth?

-Eric
