Invitation to Participate

Background
Use by NMCA’s and other data providers of the open source PostGIS technology (http://postgis.refractions.net/), and the PostgreSQL database which PostGIS spatially enables, is on the increase. It is extensively used at IGN France and at EDINA (the organisation that electronically delivers OS data to the UK academic community - http://edina.ac.uk/digimap/description/). Other NMCA’s such as KMS Denmark plan to migrate to PostGIS and others are at an investigative stage.
The motivations for considering the adoption of PostgreSQL / PostGIS are both generic and GI specific:

• The generally perceived benefits of Open Source in terms of cost saving and political acceptability
• Economic benefits particularly in the Cloud Computing context and in providing generally accessible delivery mechanisms (where the pricing models of some mainstream database technologies are unfavorable)
• The increasing maturity and capability of the GI functionality in PostGIS.
• Increasing support for PostgreSQL / PostGIS by GIS software suppliers.

• To discuss the Pro’s and Con’s of adopting PostgreSQL / PostGIS
• To share the experience of established users
• To hear from PostGIS developers of capabilities and developments
• To discuss future plans and possibilities for collaborations

• System architects
• Database managers
• Business/market development staff
• Related researchers and technology providers.

Outline Programme
Sessions are planned as follows
1. An overview of PostgreSQL / PostGIS and its place in spatial system architectures
2. Experience of existing users
3. Inputs from PostGIS developers
4. Future plans and collaborations
Break out Sessions to be determined

Timing and Venue

The last two years have seen a turning point in terms of bringing geographically aware augmented reality to mobile devices. Significant developments in locational technology such as the inclusion of a built-in digital compass, GPS (Global Positioning System) and accelerometers into mobile phones have allowed not only location but also heading, and pitch to be detected and therefore incorporated into data display systems. These built-in technologies have brought augmented reality to the hands of the masses, and the phones themselves have sparked a market driven boom in fusing augmented reality with location-based services (LBS). Currently applications are in their infancy and mainly focused on specific topics such as ‘show me where the closest x is’. This however represents the tip of the iceberg with the addition of GIS into the mix there is notable potential for the industry.
