From Rene.Westerholt at warwick.ac.uk Mon May 6 13:01:05 2019 From: Rene.Westerholt at warwick.ac.uk (Westerholt, Rene) Date: Mon, 6 May 2019 11:01:05 +0000 Subject: [GeoIT.org] CFP: PLATIAL'19 Symposium on Platial Information Science Message-ID: Dear colleagues, We are delighted to invite you to the second International PLATIAL'19 Symposium, which will take place on 5?6 September 2019 at the University of Warwick in Coventry, UK! The event aims to put forward the notion of place in geographical information science, which will be motivated by keynotes delivered by Thora Tenbrink (Bangor University, UK) and Nigel Thrift (University of Warwick, UK). We accept short paper submissions, which will be published with separate DOIs online. We are looking forward to your submissions, and to fruitful discussions in September! PLATIAL can also be ideally combined with the COSIT conference taking place the following week! Best wishes, René Westerholt and Franz-Benjamin Mocnik PS: Please spread the word to your personal networks and forward this call to anyone for whom it might be interesting and relevant. ==================================== *** PLATIAL'19 Symposium *** This year's motto: Interdisciplinary perspectives on place University of Warwick, Coventry, UK, 5?6 September 2019 http://platial19.platialscience.net People ?live? and constitute places every day through recurrent practices and experience. Our everyday lives, however, are complex, and so are places. In contrast to abstract space, the way people experience places includes a range of aspects like physical setting, meaning, and emotional attachment. This inherent complexity requires researchers to investigate the concept of place from a variety of viewpoints. The formal representation of place?a major goal in GIScience related to place?is no exception and can only be successfully addressed if we consider geographical, psychological, anthropological, sociological, cognitive, and other perspectives. So far, however, interdisciplinary cooperation on the topic of place has been rare. Geographers have developed a rich conceptual understanding of holistic places, psychologists and cognitive scientists deal with the more individual aspects of perception and conceptualisation, and GIScience scholars are focussing on formalising and conceptualising place-based GIS largely capitalising on a wealth of viewpoints. Research on place has not yet been carried out on a larger scale beyond the boundaries of those different domains. In view of the complexity described above, interdisciplinary approaches are desirable and will presumably lead to a better understanding of the concept of place than to consider it monodisciplinarily. We hope to bring together place-based researchers from different disciplines to discuss the current state of platial research. In particular, we welcome submissions of papers on the following topics: * Which approaches of place representation exist in various disciplines? * How can existing theoretical approaches of platial representation from different disciplines be integrated towards a unified notion of place? * How can we move forward the integration of platial information with GIS? * What might be a suitable strategy for addressing the subjectivity inherent to platial information? * What are the roles of uncertainty and fuzziness in a place-based theory of geographical information? * In which ways can places be visualised, in particular at multiple scales? * Which novel perspectives (e.g., with respect to academic progress, practical applications, methodological frameworks) does place-based analysis provide? * How can we demonstrate the practical usefulness of place-based information by means of examples and in comparison to spatial information? * (Further topics are welcome if they fit the overall theme of this symposium.) Apart from discussing the above topics, it is our particular goal to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue involving geographers, social scientists, computer scientists, and other cognate scholars.

GISCO 2019 Similar to the last times, Prof. Dr. Matthias Möller and other colleagues are planning the GISCO2019 edition. Some words about the GISCO: In 2015 the Society for Geoinformatics established a colloquium series addressing young researchers and PhD students. Under the acronym GeoIT GISCO a GISience COnference has been created, allowing young scientist to exchange their findings, establish new cooperations and expand their personal network. Experienced researchers and professionel scientists from various international universities support the GeoIT GISCO participants. http://geoit.org/gisco/ Member news: Invitation to Android Raw Measurement Workshop The third GNSS Raw Measurements Taskforce Workshop will take place on 26th of June 2019 at GSA Headquarters in Prague. The objective of the workshop is to share the Task Force member`s experience and progress around the use of raw measurements within Android devices. As of Android 7.0, access to GNSS raw measurements has been made available, allowing developers to use the carrier and code measurements, as well as the decoded navigation messages from mass-market devices. This enables the creation of advanced GNSS positioning algorithms that lead to the development of more ambitious smartphone-based services, or access to data contained in the navigation message. Until not too long ago, these data were restricted to more professional GNSS receivers, now they are literally in the palm of our hands. For other uses of the raw measurements, please refer to White Paper on using GNSS Raw Measurements on Android devices. Several application areas stand to profit from this increased accuracy, such as augmented reality, location-based advertising, mobile health and asset management. The raw measurements allow also to optimize the multi-GNSS solutions, and to select the satellites/constellations based on their performances or differentiators. In 2017, the GSA launched the GNSS Raw Measurements Task Force to bridge the existing knowledge gap among potential raw measurement users. Since then, the Task Force has expanded to a group of over 100 agencies, universities, research institutes and companies, all dedicated to promoting a wider use of GNSS raw measurements. The membership is open to anybody interested. Two additional tools are available to the Task Force members: * a dedicated discussion forum and * a measurement database where members can upload data logs and relevant documents.
