The INTERGEO conference and trade fair is the world’s largest event for geodesy, geoinformation and land management. From September 27th through 29th, suppliers, practitioners and researchers from all over the world gather in Nuremberg to present and discuss current technological trends and practical developments. 52°North - an international Research and Development Network of partners from research, industry and public administration - is an excellent address to emphasize the value of new technologies in the form of innovative solutions in practice.

At con terra’s partner booth (hall 7A booth: C39), 52°North presents state of the art Sensor Web technology supporting seamless integration of live sensor data into Spatial Data Infrastructures via OGC Sensor Observation Services. A suite of open source tools is available for easy and efficient visualization and analysis of time series information. Applications in water management, environmental monitoring and meteorology impressively vouch for the benefit of this innovative technology and point the way for other fields of application.

What’s a process app? 52°North’s new WPS “Appstore” provides many advantages for users and providers of processes (e.g. hydrological models, EO algorithms or geostatistical functions). Come and see how you can choose a process appropriate for your needs from the Appstore, integrate it in your private WPS execution environment, and include the results in applications, such as ArcMap and Model Builder. Instead of bringing data to the algorithms, the algorithms now come to the data!

In addition, discover how to transform your existing IT infrastructure into a hybrid cloud. Use commercial, public clouds, such as Amazon, as a back bone for peak demands to ensure availability and performance for your geoinformation services and applications, e.g. in the INSPIRE context. Let us demonstrate how to implement the OSM2NetworkDataset process to create traffic networks from free OpenStreetMap geodata according to individual requirements. The results can then be used in network analysis.

Don’t miss our presentation at the INTERGEOForum - Emerging Technologies:

• Wednesday, September 28 th, 9:30 – 10:00: INSPIRE Quality of Service – master the demands with the “Cloud” {Anforderungen meistern mit Hilfe der ‚Cloud’}. Bastian Schäffer
