Dear All,
I would like to invite expressions of interest for Ordnance
Survey Think Tank Session on "Research challenges in automated
generalization and cartographic modelling” to be held on 8 December 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 proposed Think Tank event is to be
held on Tuesday 8th December at Nottingham and will cover the topics of
automated generalization and cartographic modelling.
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 30th Oct 2009 to [hidden email]
Travel and accommodation costs of all the selected
participants will be reimbursed. Selection of invited experts will be made by
the Ordnance Survey.
Think Tank Outcomes
• Identify key research trends in
automated generalization theme.
• Identify mid-term (2-3 years) and
long-term (5-10 years) research challenges in automated generalization.
• Produce report on the Think Tank
findings.
We look forward to receiving your expressions of interest
for the OS Think Tank on automated generalization. Please contact me for any
information.
Best wishes,
