Today the Web serves as a universal information and communication infrastructure. We’re able to share data, documents, maps and apps based on web technologies. The efficient use of geoprocessing functionality for data analysis and presentation on the Web is an active topic in GIS science and application. The massive rise in available spatial data from mapping communities, sensor operators and public bodies has also spurred the demand by lay users and experts for readily available analysis and data processing tools. While Desktop and Workstation GIS are still widely used, there is also a trend towards sharing and reusing data processing and analysis workflows on the Web.more >
“Sensor Web for Environmental Research” Workshop @ AGILE: CfP
Call for Papers
The aim of the workshop “Sensor Web for Environmental Research” is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of Sensor Web for Environmental Research. The objectives are to get an overview of current Sensor Web technologies applications in practice and to discuss shortcomings and research challenges, such as dealing with uncertainties, incorporating quality information or automation of analysis of data published in the Sensor Web.more >
52°North seeks student applications for the Google Summer of Code 2014
52°North is thrilled to be chosen once again to be a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2014 (GSoC)! The Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open source projects. In honor of the Google Summer of Code’s 10th anniversary, Google has upped the student stipend 10 %. Thus, the stipend recipient receives $ 5.500,- for 3 months of successful software development for 52°North. A mentor from a 52°North partner organization supervises the student during this period.
As such, we now look for students who are interested in writing code for various 52°North projects. If you are interested in writing code for software developed by the 52°North communities, please have a look at https://wiki.52north.org/bin/view/Projects/GSoC2014.
Student Application opens on March 10, 2012 at 19:00 UTC – but the discussion can start right now!
This summer, flip bits not burgers with 52°North!
Any questions? Please contact Jan Schulte (j.schulte@52north.org) or join us at *irc.freenode.net* *#52north*.
SOS.js
Javascript is a very popular programming language. Once started to make web sites more dynamic, it has grown into a powerful and fast language, with several runtime environments (client- and server-side!), and support for procedural, functional, object-oriented, and modular programming paradigms. How cool is that? Moreover it is easy to learn and the basics are very simple. But most importantly, it can be executed by any web browser today! Therefore it naturally is used widely also in 52°North communities, and the Sensor Web community is no exception. However, for many good reasons, the existing Sensor Web browser client utilizes Google Web Toolkit (GWT), which compiles Java to browser-specific Javascript, and utilizes server side rendering.
But wait, today you will find an alternative to explore time series data from the standardized Sensor Observation Service (SOS): SOS.js.more >
