Call for Presentations
Workshop on Test-Bed Research: Testing Geospatial Web Services / Persistent Test-Bed (PTB)
The 14th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science
18th April, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Call for Presentations (Deadline 1st March 2011)
The objective of the workshop is to improve interoperability of open-source and proprietary Geo Web Service software components. Presentations are sought that describe the state of the art in terms of the technology and which identify scientific issues related to the field of Geo Web Services. Further topics of interest include the development of testing strategies/procedures and the support of geospatial research in major EU programs and education.
The full day workshop will be held on the first day of the 14th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science in Utrecht, The Netherlands (18th April 2011). A goal of the Workshop is to explore collaboration and synergies between different Test-Bed programmes and how to improve the sustainability of running demonstrators for future research and implementation programmes. Future strategies for testing Geo Web Services will also be developed and discussed.
The workshop consists of invited talks and presentations selected from this call as well as panel discussions on future testing strategies and test-bed development (including discussions about strategies and test-bed advances of the PTB). Please submit a short abstract of your presentation (max 300 words) before 1st March. Based on submissions, the presentations will be selected through the organizing committee. Presentations will be between 20 and 30 minutes (including discussions). The deadline for the notification of acceptance is the 15th March 2011.
Workshop topics:
• Scientific questions in the field of Geo Web Services
• Geo Web Service Software tests
• Different testing methods and testing strategies with a special focus on interoperability, compliance and performance
• Different test-beds and testing activities (including PTB)
• Former activities and demonstrators (including reports from current Phase 2 of the PTB) as well as test-beds related to INSPIRE, GMES etc.
• Technologies for developing testing facilities
