Background

In recent years, significant developments have been made in geospatial data cyber- infrastructure. Datasets of various types have been produced at national, regional and global levels. Efforts have also been made at city level. However, currently value-add services and operational applications of geospatial data cyber-infrastructure are still at exploration stage for real time services. The geospatial data cyber-infrastructure has also immense potential for use in disaster management.

The workshop aims at bringing together international state-of-the-art research and future trends in the field of geospatial spatial data cyber-infrastructure and real-time services with special emphasis on disaster management. The workshop is also meant to be an interdisciplinary forum for leading researchers to present the latest developments and applications, to discuss cutting edge technology, to exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration in the related areas.
