Workshop on Workflows for Earth Observation System

Centre for Geospatial Science
University of Nottingham

International initiatives such as the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) are making significant progress towards providing resources for the access, discovery, processing and publishing of earth observation data. It is necessary for organisations to develop capabilities within their workflows for applying earth observation data from satellite-based, airborne and in situ sensors.

A workflow can be defined as a collection of tasks, carried out by software systems, humans, or a combination of both, and organized to accomplish some business process. Within Earth Observation Systems and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), workflows are enacted through the orchestration or chaining of services.

This workshop will bring together researchers from various projects to exchange knowledge on strategies for earth observation workflows and to identify areas for future collaboration and development. The workshop will be hosted by the Open Source GIS UK conference, to be held at the University of Nottingham on 21st - 22nd June 2010. Visit the website below.

Contributions of abstracts are invited but are not limited to the following topic areas:

- workflows for earth observation through satellite�based remote sensing
- workflows for earth observation through airborne sensors
- workflows for earth observation through in situ sensors
- workflow enactors and engines
- standards for workflows and service chaining
- grid computing for earth observation systems and GIS
- cloud computing for earth observation systems and GIS
- Case studies of implementations

Abstract Submission

We invite submissions of extended abstracts (1000 - 1500 words) on innovative and novel research, including reports on experiences with workflow technologies in earth observation and GIS. Researchers from across ll
geospatial, environmental and earth observation communities are encouraged to ubmit abstracts. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed and those accepted will be nvited for presentation at the workshop.

Please submit your abstracts by email to gobe.hobona [at] nottingham.ac.uk

Abstracts Submission deadline: 5 March 2010
Notification of acceptance: 30 March 2010
