Schedule

The final program for MPA'10 is available here.

Invited Speakers

  • Harvey Miller, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
    Keynote 1: Mobility in geospaces: What can we say analytically (so far)?
    The space-time path and prism, representing actual and potential mobility, respectively, are core to mobility science. In recent years there has been substantial progress in the analytics surrounding these concepts. This presentation will review analytical representations of the path and prism in three different geospaces - planar, network and velocity fields. The presentation will also highlight methods for estimating error and uncertainty propagation from imperfect measurement of their parameters.

  • Kathleen Stewart, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, USA
    Keynote 2: Patterns of Moving Objects: Why so interesting?
    In this talk I will discuss progress in research relating to the semantics associated with patterns of moving objects. The talk will highlight how time in particular serves as an important foundation for extracting many different kinds of moving object semantics. I will discuss different temporal data models and how the choice of models exposes different moving object semantics.In this talk I will discuss progress in research relating to the semantics associated with patterns of moving objects.

    Keynote 3: Moving objects at sea: trends and challenges
    Over the past few years moving objects have been a subject of considerable research attention in the fields of spatio-temporal databases and geographical information science. The range of potential applications is large and cover many areas, but has been so far limited to conventional domains of GIS. This talk will take a different perspective, by considering moving objets not in land but at sea, and will survey current technics, research advances and issues of the specific domains around objects at sea. The talk will survey current maritime information systems and navigation-aided systems and some of the research projects developed so far at the Naval Academy Research Institute in France, while emphasizing some of the research challenges still opened.
