The workshop will take place at AGILE 2015 Conference on Geographic Information Science in Lisboa Portugal on Tuesday, June 9th 2015. We invite you to submit short papers (max. 2.000 words) until April 07. 2015 in Word or PDF format to richvgi at geog.uni-heidelberg.de. Further Information will be available on the Workshop Homepage: http://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/gis/rich-vgi.html on behalf of the RICH-VGI Organizing Committee Alexander Zipf GIScience Research Group Heidelberg University http://uni-heidelberg.de/gis sorry for any cross-posting http://giscienceblog.uni-hd.de/2015/01/21/call-for-paper-enriching-vgi-agile-2015-workshop/ https://www.facebook.com/GIScienceHeidelberg https://twitter.com/GIScienceHD -------------- nächster Teil -------------- Ein Dateianhang mit HTML-Daten wurde abgetrennt...

PhD Positions in Big Science Data ! Come join the world leading Array Databases research team & makers of the Big Science Data standards, and shape the future of Big Data in science and engineering! The Large-Scale Scientific Information Systems (L-SIS) research group [1] is seeking excellent graduate students interested in pursuing a PhD in Computer Science in the area of Array Databases. A partial industry occupation is an extra option. Positions are fully funded through EU project EarthServer-2, the follow-up to EarthServer which, according to European Commission and reviewers, "With no doubt the project has been shaping the Big Earth Data landscape through the standardization activities within OGC, ISO and beyond?. The underlying world-leading array database, rasdaman, will ?significantly transform the way that scientists in different areas of Earth Science will be able to access and use data in a way that hitherto was not possible?. We are collaborating worldwide (such as with NASA and ESA, the European Space Agency) and have a strong reputation in: - Array Databases [2], a database research area pioneered by our rasdaman system [3], which is the currently most advanced and operationally used Big Array Data Analytics system (230+ TB); manifold awards, such as 2014 winner of the T-Systems Big Data challenge, underline this lead; - standardization of Big Geo Data services [4]; - shaping the array query extension to the ISO SQL standard, SQL/MDA ("Multi-Dimensional Arrays"). You bring along: strong background in computer science, in particular in Web/databases; substantial programming skills; engagement, endurance, and interest in research; last but not least, fluent English reading and writing skills. Interested candidates should contact Peter BAUMANN (p.baumann followed by jacobs-university.de) by emailing a motivation letter, CV, transcript copies, and at least one reference. Jacobs University Bremen is an international research university located in the North of Germany, close to the sea. In an all-english environment students from 100+ nations experience an optimal teacher/student ratio of about 1:10. Not the least, there is a vibrant social life with manifold student clubs and activities on and off campus. Jacobs University has been termed "elite university" by the New York Times. The Computer Science Department has been ranked top by karriere.de and CHE.
