The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.
It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
Obstacles such as mountains and buildings block the relatively weak GPS signals.
Remote sensing images are useful for monitoring the spatial distribution and growth of urban built-up areas.
In this presentation, I have used NDBI index to extract impervious features in earth surface.

Design Thinking: The one thing that will transform the way you thinkDigital Surgeons
What's the one thing that will transform the way you think? Design Thinking. The startups, trailblazers, and business mavericks of our world have embraced this process as a means of zeroing in on true human-centered design.
Design Thinking is a methodology for innovators that taps into the two biggest skills needed in today’s modern workplace: critical thinking & problem solving.
Of course, if you ask 100 practitioners to define it, you’ll wind up with 101 definitions.
Pete Sena of Digital Surgeons believes that Design Thinking is a process for solving complex problems through observation and iteration. At its core, he describes it as a vehicle for solving human wants and needs.
Minds are like parachutes; they only function when open. Thomas Dewar was a Scottish whiskey distiller.
Communicating ideas or insights is often the hardest part of the design process. And PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheets are limited in their ability to do this. But the communication tools used in Design Thinking—maps, models, sketches, and stories—help to capture and express the information required to form and socialize meaning in a very straightforward, human way.
The Five things that all definitions of Design Thinking have in common:
1. Isolating and reframing the problem focused on the user.
2. Empathy. A design practitioner from IDEO, the popular design and innovation firm strapped a video camera to his head and it was only then that he recognized why the ceiling is such an important factor when working with hospital patients. As a patient you lay in bed and stare at it all day. It’s these little details and true empathy that can only be realized by putting oneself in the user’s shoes.
3. Approach things with an open mind and be willing to collaborate. Creativity with purpose is a team sport.
4. Curiosity. We have to harness our inner 5-year-old here and really be inquisitive explorers. Instead of seeing what would be or what should be, consider what COULD be.
5 - Commitment. Brainstorming is easy. It’s easy to want to start a business or solve a problem. Seeing it into market and making it successful is not for the faint of heart. We’ve all read about big “wins” (multi-billion dollar acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp). What we don’t read about are people like Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, who work for years before becoming industry sensations.
Pete describes what he refers to as the “Wheel of Innovation” as a process that continuously focuses on framing, making, validating, and improving on your concept. Be it as small as a core feature in your product down to the business model and business idea itself.
Design is about form and function, not art.
What are the business benefits for Design Innovation?
IDEO started an idea revolution when they coined this phrase DESIGN THINKING. Organizations ranging from early-stage startups up to Fortune 50 organizations have capitalized on this iterative appr

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have evolved from a highly specialized niche to a technology that affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from finding driving directions to managing natural disasters. The masses have discovered geospatial data and technologies through the availability of popular globes; wiki-fied street mapping which was started by a few individuals has grown to weekly mapping parties around the globe. Today almost everybody can create customized maps or overlay GIS data. Current GIS technology covers viewing maps and images on the web, simple and complex spatial analysis, modeling and simulations.
In our presentation we'll present highlights of the last 20 years of Open Source GIS developments. Many projects are born as initiative of individuals when the lack of available software for a specific application is solved by own development and the result is then made available to the public on the Internet for further collaborative development. In the early 80's, the first Open Source GIS (MOSS and GRASS GIS) reached production status followed by the PROJ4 library project, a first crucial library for many Open Source GIS applications. In 1995 the UMN MapServer project was started to implement OGC standard. The second cross-project library GDAL/OGR was born in 1998. While these projects became mature, new applications were started with partially extraordinary success (OpenEV, OSSIM, MapBuilder, PostGIS, Geoserver, Quantum GIS, uDIG, MapGuide Open Source, MapBender, gvSIG, Geonetwork and OpenLayers).
The wealth of available but partially unconnected projects suggested to establish an umbrella foundation to foster source code and knowledge sharing. Hence, in February 2006, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo, www.osgeo.org) has been created to support and promote worldwide use and collaborative development of Open Source geospatial technologies and data. The foundation supports outreach and advocacy activities to promote Open Source concepts. It also builds shared infrastructure for improved cross-project collaboration. OSGeo has been a stimulating force for cooperative developments of sister projects, leveraging each other efforts by developing shared architecture components and expanding interoperability.
To become an OSGeo member, the software project needs to undergo a rigorous review of its source code, development structure and community health. In these community-developed projects a whole “ecosystem” of users, translators, developers, and provides quick support and tested solutions, both for beginners and professionals.
In our opinion, Open Source GIS is an appropriate choice for scientific computing as it is developed in a peer review process. We will show some case studies for GRASS GIS usage in research which illustrates its academic roots especially in environmental applications. This covers analysis of spatio-temporal data sets such as multi-temporal Lidar and remote sensing data including processing of large amounts of geospatial data on a cluster.

OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
