Dear Colleagues, I am happy to invite expressions of interest for Ordnance Survey Think Tank Session on "Data Capture, modelling, and visualisation for ubiquitous LBS" to be held on 17 March 2009 (Tuesday) at The University of Nottingham.
The Ordnance Survey has awarded a research contract to the Centre of Geospatial Science (CGS) to investigate future data and data management developments that might impact on Ordnance Survey's operations and services. Please see http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/cgs/projects_os.html for more details. In part fulfilment of this contract we are organising a series of Think Tank events to explore relevant technology developments and to better understand how these developments might influence and impact on spatial data capture and usage in the future. The first of the proposed Think Tank events is to be held on Tuesday 17th March at Nottingham and will cover the topics of "Data Capture, modelling, and visualisation for ubiquitous LBS." The Think Tank Meeting will a one-day event with 10 experts drawn from a mix of academic, commercial and industry backgrounds. Selected experts may be invited to give brief presentations but in each case significant time will be allocated for discussion and open exploration of likely developments and potential consequences. The meeting will operate according to Chatham House rules. Interested participants are invited to submit short position paper (max 2 A4 pages) detailing their potential think tank contribution, expectations, vision and research interest, before 28 Feb 2009 to [email protected] Travel and accommodation costs of all the selected participants will be reimbursed. Selection of invited experts will be made by the Ordnance Survey. OS Think Tank Outcomes * Identify key research trends in this theme * Identify mid-term (2-3 years) and long-term (5 year) research challenges in ubiquitous LBS * Produce report on the Think Tank findings. We look forward to receiving your expressions of interest for the OS Think Tank Session on ubiquitous LBS. Please contact me for any information.
