COM.Geo 2011 Spotlight: Mobile Geospatial - Digital Earth on Mobile Phones and iPads

COM.Geo Final Program Available NOW

COM.Geo 2011 conference includes nearly 20 diverse programs and events, such as keynotes (NASA, U.S. FCC, Microsoft, OGC, DHS-FEMA), full papers, short papers, tech talks, demo talks, posters, panels, courses, OGC workshop, Microsoft workshop, demo show, reception, cruise, banquet, exhibitions, etc. There are more than one hundred presentations on innovative computer technologies for geospatial research and applications. So far, there have been several hundreds of attendees from governments, industrial companies, universities, and research organizations from more than 20+ countries.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security - FEMA Keynote: The Current State of Geospatial Modeling

Geospatial modeling has evolved since it was first introduced in the early 80s. In the past few years, the geospatial environment has exploded, providing previously unattainable high-resolution statistical data. Gone are the days of archaic topographic two-dimensional maps, and introduced are highly developed systems displaying ubiquitous geospatial data. Time and money are being saved as crews of experts are no longer data-collecting in the field. This increased currency and precision created through technological changes is directly impacting the decisions planners are making day-to-day. Desktop-based software is making way for cloud computing, allowing increased user base and data sharing across the globe. Mr. Berman will discuss the evolution of geospatial modeling, how we got here, and future advancements. What are the benefits of this new geospatial environment? How can we leverage these new tools to more accurately analyze data sets, and what environmental benefits will this create?

Mr. Eric Berman is the current Hazus Program Manager for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He has approximately 20 years of hazard identification studies and mapping experience with an emphasis on GIS. Mr. Berman was recently among the recipients of Federal Computer Week magazine's 22nd Annual "Federal 100 Awards" in Washington, DC, for his outstanding leadership and work on the FEMA Hazus Program. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from Tennessee Technological University and represents the Department of Homeland Security on the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.

GIS Kit Demonstration of Field Data Collection and Large Dataset Visualization on the iPad 2

GIS Kit by Garafa is the ultimate tool for the mobile GIS professional. Built as an evolution of the popular iPhone/iPad app, GPS Kit, GIS Kit features an even higher-performing map engine and adds raster layers, shape file support, a completely redesigned offline maps system, customizable attributes and templates, cloud sharing, and the most complete KML, GML, and WFS support of any iOS app. Many companies are now turning to the iPad for its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and ease of use. For those needing field visualization, data collection, and/or collaboration, GIS Kit will add a powerful yet simple solution.  (Tech/Demo Talk on Wednesday)
