TopicCyberGIS for Empowering Geospatial Discovery and Innovation in the Era of Big Compute and Data

SpeakerProfessor WANG Shaowen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign( UIUC

Brief introduction to the report

CyberGIS is an interdisciplinary field combining advanced cyberinfrastructure, geographic information science and systems (GIS), spatial analysis and modeling, and a number of geospatial domains to improve research productivity and enable scientific breakthroughs. It has emerged as a new-generation GIS that enables unprecedented advances in data-driven knowledge discovery, visualization and visual analytics, and collaborative problem solving and decision making. The growing importance of cyberGIS is reflected by increasing calls for solutions to bridge the significant digital divide between advanced cyberinfrastructure and geospatial communities. This presentation discusses challenges and opportunities for cyberGIS to empower geospatial discovery and innovation in the era of big compute and data.
