From christianknoth at uni-muenster.de Fri Feb 7 11:43:59 2014 From: christianknoth at uni-muenster.de (Christian Knoth) Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2014 11:43:59 +0100 Subject: [Gfgi] CfP: Summer School on Gamifying Spatial Collaboration 2014 Message-ID: *+++++++Please redistribute: Call for participation: Summer School on Gamifying Spatial Collaboration 2014+++++++* *Call for participation: Summer School on Gamifying Spatial Collaboration 2014* To mark the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the *Institute for Geoinformatics* (IfGI) at the University of Münster is organizing a summer school to be held from the *11th to the 17th of June 2014*, subsequent to the anniversary event itself (June 10th to 11th). The scientific symposium of the anniversary, which will be held on the 11th at the Münster Palace, is also the first day of the summer school. The goals of the summer school will be to explore both the theory and practice of gamification and spatial collaboration in geoinformatics, and how we can move towards applying gamification to enhance collaborative data acquisition in geoinformatics. *Course content * The summer school will take a close look at the opportunities and challenges that arise through combining geoinformatic technology with gamification for spatial collaboration. Two particular questions addressed during the school will be: How can gamification improve geoinformation technology? and, What are the opportunities offered by gamification to enhance collaborative data acquisition and the gathering of feedback? The summer school will consist of a 6-day program at the intersection of spatial collaboration, gamification and geoinformation technology. It will be held in the stimulating and creative environment of the Institute for Geoinformatics. The school is aimed primarily at graduate students, and we anticipate around 30 attendees. *Course program *The six days of the course will comprise two full-day tutorials, one on gamification and one on spatial collaboration; a social event; a hackathon and field work day; a tutorial day on combining gamification and spatial collaboration tools; and an interactive session on future developments. All tutorials will be given in English. Days will finish with social events including a tour of the city, a summer school dinner, a party, and a bar game. The sequence of the six days will be: 1. (June 12th): Spatial collaboration 2. (June 13th): Gamification 3. (June 14th): Social event 4. (June 15th): Field work and hackathon 5. (June 16th): Gamifying spatial collaboration 6. (June 17th): Future perspectives *Lecturers* Prof. Dr. Barbara Grüter , Gangs of Bremen , Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Applied Sciences, Bremen Dr. Peter Kiefer , Geoinformation Engineering, ETH Zurich Kate Chapman , Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (H.O.T.), Washington D.C. *Venue, Accommodation and Registration* The summer school will take place in the lecture rooms of the new GEO 1 building, Heisenbergstraße 2, D-48149 Münster ( http://www.uni-muenster.de/Geoinformatics/en/). Fees including catering, lunch, a gala dinner and participation amount to *200 EURO* per student. Accommodation needs to be paid separately. We strongly recommend renting a bike from the Radstation Münster (http://www.radstation-ms.de/), located directly in front of the main station, in order to facilitate mobility between various summer school events. In case you need any help, please contact us. *Application process* Interested people should submit a *statement of motivation of about 500 words*, briefly describing how the summer school might contribute to or enrich their own work. Application deadline: *15th of March* Notification of acceptance: *31st of March* After the notification of acceptance, participants will be contacted with registration details. Attendees will be asked to present their own work or an idea related to the summer school in the form of a *poster* at the end of the symposium on the 11th of June. *Please register online and submit application at:* http://www.uni-muenster.de/Geoinformatics/en/anniversary/summerschool/ *Contact* ifgi.summerschool at uni-muenster.de -- Christian Knoth Research Associate Institute for Geoinformatics, University of Muenster Heisenbergstraße 2 D-48149 Muenster Germany Phone: +49 251 83-33056 Fax: +49 251 83-39763 -------------- nächster Teil -------------- Ein Dateianhang mit HTML-Daten wurde abgetrennt...

After two decades, OGC standards have become a key enabler of geospatial interoperability, delivering significant societal, economic and scientific benefits by integrating digital location resources into commercial and institutional processes worldwide. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, smartphones, UAVs, sensor networks and the Internet of Things offer new ways of collecting, accessing, and analyzing geospatial information, generating ever increasing interest in the diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data. This rapidly expanding technology domain brings exciting new challenges and opportunities to many scientific disciplines and to the geospatial interoperability research community. We invite you to submit papers describing your cutting-edge, exciting new research to the OGC Academic Summit 2014. The OGC Academic Summit 2014 will provide a unique international forum in which to present and discuss progress and future directions of geospatial interoperability as it applies to computer science and to sciences in which geoprocessing has become an essential tool. Each paper must be written in English and submitted in PDF file following the IJGI format. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts will be refereed through a peer-review process. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper. The ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (IJGI) will publish a special issue for the OGC Academic Summit 2014. Accepted papers will be invited to incorporate reviewers' comments, extend the paper (if needed) and submit to th e IJGI Open Geospatial special issue. A great news is that publication fees are fully waived for papers submitted in 2014. The OGC Academic Summit 2014 will be part of the September 15-19 2014 OGC Technical Committee Meeting to be held at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Academic Summit attendees will thus have an opportunity to network with OGC member representatives from around the world and participate directly in many working group and plenary sessions. ==Important Dates== Submission Deadline: May 15 2014 Notification Acceptance: June 15 2014 Conference Date: September 15~16 2014 ==Committee Members== General Chairs Steve Liang, University of Calgary, Canada Ryosuke Shibasaki, University of Tokyo, Japan Publicity Chair Dr. Wenwen Li, Arizona State University, USA Programme Committee Mohamed Bakillah, University of Calgary, Canada Payam Barnaghi, University of Surrey, United Kingdom Peter Baumann, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany Umesh Bellur, IIT Bombay, India Tien-Yin Chou, GIS Research Center, FCU, Taiwan David Coleman, University of New Brunswick, Canada Jianya Gong, Wuhan University, China Chih-Yuan Huang, University of Calgary, Canada Thomas H.
