Dear colleagues,
(our apologies for cross postings)

>From July 8th to 10th, 2009, during the tenth edition of Libre Software
Meeting, the Research Institute on Urban Sciences and Techniques (IRSTV) in
partnership with the University Of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland,
Prefecture and Council of Region Pays de La Loire will organize a Research
and Innovation Symposium about free and open source geospatial methods and
technologies.

Main goals of this symposium are :
* to build a panel of new scientific works built on open source models or
using open source tools
* to build and discuss a scientific framework about open source technology
usage (benefits and limitations)
* to provide a platform to network and develop ideas for future
collaborative works between the academic research world and the everyday
operational world (companies, local authorities ...)

The symposium will integrate scientific conferences (research papers),
companies and authority testimonies (showcases) and training sessions
(labs).

Thus, we invite to submit contributions which can be :
* a full paper or extended abstract for the research session,
* an abstract for the showcase session,
* an abstract for the lab session.

Contributions should address the following overall topics but are not
limited to :
* Cartography and advanced styling ;
* Cultural heritage ;
* Earth Observation ;
* From Webmapping to WebGIS ;
* Integrated risk and disaster management for society ;
* GIS and SDI interoperability (data, knowledge, language, ...) ;
* GIS and SDI for participatory learning and action ;
* GIS concept and theory (semantics and ontology) ;
* Landscape and ecology ;
* Spatial Analysis and Integration ;
* Spatial and Spatio-temporal data and analysis ;
* Sustainable Development and Governance ;
* Urban and Environmental Planning ;
* Visual Languages and Querying ;
* Web and desktop convergence in the geospatial field.

Keynote speakers :
* Câmara Gilberto, Brazil's National Institute for Space Research
* Neteler Markus, Fondazione Mach - Centro di Ecologia Alpina, Italia
* Steiniger Stefan, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
