Hello everyone,
Welcome to the first Geographic Information System (GIS) Symposium at =
Troy
State University (TSU). This symposium represents the first of many =
more to
come annual symposiums through the Geomatics Program at TSU. The =
organizing
committee has agreed on the theme for the symposium to be "Use of GIS".
The date for the symposium is 19th and 20th May 2004.
The organizing committee and the Geomatics Program recognize the need =
to
have a common forum for presentations and discussions into the use of =
GIS in
Alabama, and its neighboring states. The vision of having the symposium =
is
to provide an annual forum to have workshops, presentations by keynote
speakers on specific GIS issues, paper presentations, poster =
presentations,
and for the GIS professionals and students to have an opportunity to
network. The intention of the symposium is in promoting and encouraging =
the
presentation of quality research papers in the field of spatial =
information
science.
The organizing committee is in the process of inviting the regional =
manager
for the South Eastern States from the Environmental Systems Research
Institute (ESRI) to give a workshop on the status of ArcGIS and its =
future
development plans. This is carded for the 19th May 2004. while the =
20th May
is carded for paper presentations.=20
