Technology (CUMT)
Dear Colleagues,
It gives me a great pleasure to invite you to Xuzhou to join the Workshop on Global
Spatial Grids and Cloud-based Services (GSG-CBS). This event is jointly run as the
WebMGS 2013 and the DMGIS 2013 workshop.
The Global Spatial Grid (GSG) is an important spatial data model/structure for global
spatial data organization, integration, management, visualization, sharing and
location based services. Parallel computing and cloud environments are providing
new solutions for GSG to better serve global mapping, multidimensional
visualization, geospatial analytics, dynamic representation and collaborative
services. A workshop on the global spatial grid and web/cloud-based services will
not only benefit the scientific researchers, system developers and service providers,
but also facilitate the development and applications of virtual globes and web/cloud
based geospatial services and collaborative environments.
With more than 5000 years of history, Xuzhou is renowned as the hometown of
Liubang, the first emperor of the Han dynasty. The mysterious culture of the Han
dynasty is evidenced by the tombs of the emperors and the Han’s terra-cotta
warriors. Xuzhou provides pleasurable touring, comfortable accommodation and
good transport systems. We look forward to welcoming you in Xuzhou.
Yours sincerely,
Prof.
