WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Over the last few decades the science of geo-positioning has been transforming science and business alike. We are living in the golden age of geo-referencing, and the resulting development is both exciting and tumultuous. Everything from the smallest devices to the largest machines can now determine their positions on the earth in real-time. These advancements will enable us to look into our natural world, business operations and everyday life in ways that we can barely imagine. At the same time, the evolution of communications and networking is allowing us to relay vast quantities of the information derived at specific locations to others and to databases. Mobility and location-based services are becoming essential in a many applications.
This workshop will begin to address and define the science and business of an infrastructure to support the explosive growth in information that real-time knowledge of changes in everything from farm fields, to moving transports, to moving weather systems will create. The potential for the creation of new algorithms, technologies and approaches is almost limitless. Join us and define how tomorrow will look!
