OGC Academic Summit
http://academicsummit.opengeospatial.org
Celebrate 20 Years of Research Excellence on OGC Standards and Geospatial Interoperability
September 15~16 2014, University of Calgary, Canada

==Call For Papers==
2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). After two decades, OGC standards have become a key enabler of geospatial interoperability, delivering significant societal, economic and scientific benefits by integrating digital location resources into commercial and institutional processes worldwide. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, smartphones, UAVs, sensor networks and the Internet of Things offer new ways of collecting, accessing, and analyzing geospatial information, generating ever increasing interest in the diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data. This rapidly expanding technology domain brings exciting new challenges and opportunities to many scientific disciplines and to the geospatial interoperability research community.

We invite you to submit papers describing your cutting-edge, exciting new research to the OGC Academic Summit 2014. The OGC Academic Summit 2014 will provide a unique international forum in which to present and discuss progress and future directions of geospatial interoperability as it applies to computer science and to sciences in which geoprocessing has become an essential tool. Each paper must be written in English and submitted in PDF file following the IJGI format. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts will be refereed through a peer-review process. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper. The ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (IJGI) will publish a special issue for the OGC Academic Summit 2014. Accepted papers will be invited to incorporate reviewers' comments, extend the paper (if needed) and submit to th
e IJGI Open Geospatial special issue. A great news is that publication fees are fully waived for papers submitted in 2014.

The OGC Academic Summit 2014 will be part of the September 15-19 2014 OGC Technical Committee Meeting to be held at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Academic Summit attendees will thus have an opportunity to network with OGC member representatives from around the world and participate directly in many working group and plenary sessions.
