(apologies for the cross posting) All, FYI below is some information on two special sessions of AGU this December in San Francisco, CA. The first involves open source software and remote sensing. If you are using any Apache software in the area of remote sensing, you might consider submitting to the below call.
The second is a special session of AGU on software reuse (co-organized by Bob Downs and I) that you might consider submitting to as well. In that session, we encourage people with experience leveraging and reusing existing earth science software components to build complex data systems to present their work. The session is titled IN04, Experiences and Challenges in Earth Science Software Reuse, and a short description is provided here: IN04 Description: This session covers software reuse topics, focusing on the Earth science domain and challenges with reuse. Topics may include: designing for reuse; reuse of web services, service oriented architecture, etc.; theory; preparing, packaging, and distributing reusable assets, including technology transfer or software release; reuse in software and data life cycles; reuse in new missions; lessons learned; measuring benefits or assessing reusability, such as with Reuse Readiness Levels (RRLs); creating or modifying reusable assets for a new system, context, or environment; methods for systematic reuse; reuse from other domains; best practices; case studies; education and public outreach; tools and mechanisms that support and enable reuse. Abstracts for those 2 sessions (and a host of others) are due September 2, and can be submitted through the web site below: http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/program/abstract_submissions.php Cheers, Chris ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Senior Computer Scientist NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 171-266B, Mailstop: 171-246 Email: chris.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------ Forwarded Message From: Karl Benedict <kb...@edac.unm.edu> Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2010 11:38:49 -0700 To: Karl Benedict <kb...@edac.unm.edu> Cc: <pilant.d...@epa.gov> Subject: [ESIP-all] Announcement AGU Session Earth and Space Science Informatics IN10: Open Source Remote Sensing for Environmental Mapping and Analysis Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the following session for the Fall 2010 American Geophysical Union Meeting December 13-17: Session Earth and Space Science Informatics IN10: Open Source Remote Sensing for Environmental Mapping and Analysis (See below for session description.) Please consider submitting an abstract and forwarding this announcement to potentially interested colleagues. Thank you, and we hope to see you at AGU!

IN10 Description Remote sensing analysis provides views of the environment necessary for sound stewardship. There is a great need for free or low-cost, easy-to-use remote sensing software tools to help those who are not geospatial professionals make better use of image resources to enhance environmental mapping and analysis. The goal of this session is to highlight open source remote sensing tools and applications in environmental analysis. How are open source remote sensing tools being used in environmental analysis? Are remote sensing mapping algorithms incorporated in virtual earths to expand their analytical capability? How can we use Volunteered Geographic Information provided by informed citizens to validate and enhance remotely sensed information?
