Well, I actually did last week and I can acknowledge that Quebec is a nice
city!
I will look if we can present something about our project on majas mobile
...
sincerly,

> Hello,
>
> Just some updates about the 2nd International Workshop on Mobile
> Geospatial Augmented Reality (REGARD 2008) which will be held in Quebec
> City on August 28-29, 2008 ...
>
> 1) Do not hesitate to propose a paper, submissions are accepted till
> June 9, 2008 !
>
> 2) Tyler (Mitchell) will be one of the three keynote speakers (thanks
> again Tyler ! ;-)). So, open source geospatial technologies will be
> well
> represented at this event at the crossroad of mobile geospatial
> technologies, augmented reality, location-based games and mobile
> education. It will contribute to improve visibility of OSGeo in the
> academic and (non-geospatial) industrial domains.

> *Aims and scope*
>
> Augmented Reality (AR) is a means of blending computer generated
> objects
> or labels with reality so that both appear to be a part of your natural
> environment. AR is beginning to mature as a subject field with
> applications moving from pure academic research into industrial and
> potential consumer areas. In recent years geographic data representing
> real world features has increasingly been used for AR applications. In
> addition, geospatial technologies have established many new services
> and
> applications including navigation, decision support and modelling of
> the
> surrounding environment from which mobile AR and location-aware
> computing can now benefit in order to generate compelling
> spatiotemporal
> applications.
>
> The International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality aims
> at bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners
> carrying out research and development in this field. The workshop will
> provide a forum for original research contributions and practical
> experiences of mobile AR, geospatial technologies and geoinformatics,
> and mobile games, fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all
> aspects
> of these three fields, and will highlight future trends in this area.
> The workshop will be organized in a way to promote networking between
> the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding
> cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and
> to promote international collaboration.
>
>
> *Topics of interest*
>
> We invite submissions that address theoretical, technical, and
> practical
> topics of related to mobile geospatial augmented reality. Suggested
> topics include, but are not limited to the following:
>
> 1. Geospatial information and geoinformatics
> - 3D spatial modeling
> - Geovisualization
> - Geospatial Service Oriented Architectures and systems for mobile
> distributed computing
> - Context-aware mobility and LBS
> - Geo-sensors and Sensor Web
>
> 2. Mobile augmented reality
> - Acquisition of 3D scene descriptions
> - Real-time and photorealistic rendering
> - Vision-based registration, object overlay and spatial layout
> techniques
> - Display and view management
> - Interaction techniques
>
> 3. Mobile games
> - Location based games
> - Spatial data integration and 3D game engine
> - Mobile learning and mobile edutainment
> - Augmented and mixed reality in mobile games
> - Mobile gaming experience and gaming activities
>
>
> *Important dates*
>
> The workshop will be held on the 28th and 29th of August 2008. Here are
> the important dates for the workshop:
>
> 1. Paper abstracts due June 02, 2008
> 2. Full papers due June 09, 2008
> 3. Notification of acceptance July 01, 2008
> 4. Registration July 15, 2008
> 5. Final paper version due July 15, 2008
> 6. Workshop August 28-29, 2008

> *Instructions for authors*
>
> The proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the Lecture
> Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography (LNG&C) series (see
> http://www.springer.com/series/7418). The decision is currently
> pending.
> Authors must submit full papers in English according to the Springer
> formatting guidelines

> Nevertheless, *full papers must be submitted in PDF file format*!
>
> The page limit for full papers is 12 pages. Manuscripts not submitted
> in
> the provided style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed
> and
> thus automatically rejected. A paper submitted to the 2nd International
> Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality cannot be under review
> for any other conference or journal during the time it is being
> considered for the workshop. All submissions must be original
> unpublished work written in English that is currently not under review
> elsewhere. The submitted papers will be thoroughly reviewed by two to
> three members of the international scientific committee and refereed
> for
> their quality, originality and relevance.
>
> Submission to the workshop will be electronically only. Authors are
> asked to submit an abstract first (up to 500 words) in PDF file format
> and including authors name and affiliations. Please send the abstract
> by
> email to atelierregard at scg.ulaval.ca with "abstract submission" as
> subject.
>
> Submissions of full papers (in PDF file format) will have to be
> performed through the web submission system which is available on the
> website of the event (http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca).
