FW: [ESIP-all] Announcement AGU Session Earth and Space Science Informatics IN10: Open Source Remote Sensing for Environmental Mapping and Analysis

["Mattmann, Chris A (388J)" <ch...@jpl.nasa.gov>]

(apologies for the cross posting)

All, FYI below is some information on two special sessions of AGU this
December in San Francisco, CA. The first involves open source software and
remote sensing. If you are using any Apache software in the area of remote
sensing, you might consider submitting to the below call.

The second is a special session of AGU on software reuse (co-organized by
Bob Downs and I) that you might consider submitting to as well. In that
session, we encourage people with experience leveraging and reusing existing
earth science software components to build complex data systems to present
their work. The session is titled IN04, Experiences and Challenges in Earth
Science Software Reuse, and a short description is provided here:

IN04 Description:

This session covers software reuse topics, focusing on the Earth science
domain and challenges with reuse. Topics may include:  designing for reuse;
reuse of web services, service oriented architecture, etc.; theory;
preparing, packaging, and distributing reusable assets, including technology
transfer or software release; reuse in software and data life cycles; reuse
in new missions; lessons learned; measuring benefits or assessing
reusability, such as with Reuse Readiness Levels (RRLs); creating or
modifying reusable assets for a new system, context, or environment; methods
for systematic reuse; reuse from other domains; best practices; case
studies; education and public outreach; tools and mechanisms that support
and enable reuse.

Abstracts for those 2 sessions (and a host of others) are due September 2,
and can be submitted through the web site below:

Dear Colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce the following session for the Fall 2010 American
Geophysical Union Meeting December 13-17:

Session Earth and Space Science Informatics IN10: Open Source Remote Sensing
for Environmental Mapping and Analysis
(See below for session description.)

Please consider submitting an abstract and forwarding this announcement to
potentially interested colleagues.

Thank you, and we hope to see you at AGU!

Kind regards, 

Karl Benedict, Ph.D.

Please note: Abstract deadline is September 2, 2010.

IN10 Description 
Remote sensing analysis provides views of the environment necessary for
sound stewardship. There is a great need for free or low-cost, easy-to-use
remote sensing software tools to help those who are not geospatial
professionals make better use of image resources to enhance environmental
mapping and analysis. The goal of this session is to highlight open source
remote sensing tools and applications in environmental analysis. How are
open source remote sensing tools being used in environmental analysis? Are
remote sensing mapping algorithms incorporated in virtual earths to expand
their analytical capability? How can we use Volunteered Geographic
Information provided by informed citizens to validate and enhance remotely
sensed information?


Thanks,
Karl
