http://www.geoconnections.org/en/newsmedia/events How do you stay up to speed with advances in geomatics and progress in building the CGDI? Attending conferences, workshops and showcases is a great place to start, whether you're involved in software development, forest management, emergency preparedness, water conservation, or a multitude of other fields using geospatial information and technologies. en_CA Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:47:11 GMT 2008-07-04T05:47:11Z en_CA http://www.cip-icu.ca/English/conference/2008conference.htm Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT http://www.cip-icu.ca/English/conference/2008conference.htm 2007-12-18T05:00:00Z http://www.geoweb.org/ Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT http://www.geoweb.org/ 2007-12-18T05:00:00Z http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca *Aims and scope* Augmented Reality (AR) is a means of blending computer generated objects or labels with reality so that both appear to be a part of your natural environment. AR is beginning to mature as a subject field with applications moving from pure academic research into industrial and potential consumer areas. In recent years geographic data representing real world features has increasingly been used for AR applications. In addition, geospatial technologies have established many new services and applications including navigation, decision support and modelling of the surrounding environment from which mobile AR and location-aware computing can now benefit in order to generate compelling spatiotemporal applications. The International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality aims at bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and development in this field. The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical experiences of mobile AR, geospatial technologies and geoinformatics, and mobile games, fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of these three fields, and will highlight future trends in this area. The workshop will be organized in a way to promote networking between the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration. *Topics of interest* We invite submissions that address theoretical, technical, and practical topics of related to mobile geospatial augmented reality. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Geospatial information and geoinformatics - 3D spatial modeling - Geovisualization - Geospatial Service Oriented Architectures and systems for mobile distributed computing - Context-aware mobility and LBS - Geo-sensors and Sensor Web 2. Mobile augmented reality - Acquisition of 3D scene descriptions - Real-time and photorealistic rendering - Vision-based registration, object overlay and spatial layout techniques - Display and view management - Interaction techniques 3. Mobile games - Location based games - Spatial data integration and 3D game engine - Mobile learning and mobile edutainment - Augmented and mixed reality in mobile games - Mobile gaming experience and gaming activities *Important dates* The workshop will be held on the 28th and 29th of August 2008. Here are the important dates for the workshop: 1. Paper abstracts due June 02, 2008 2. Full papers due June 09, 2008 3. Notification of acceptance July 01, 2008 4. Registration July 15, 2008 5. Final paper version due July 15, 2008 6. Workshop August 28-29, 2008 The proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography (LNG&C) series. The decision is currently pending.
