The European GeoInformation Symposium & Exhibition will focus on how huge and constantly growing amounts of related data and datasets can be handled simultaneously, efficiently and effectively to provide guidance for future-oriented decision making. The exponentially rising amount of geoinformation calls for adequate, future-oriented data management. If appropriately designed to meet future needs, a dedicated big data approach may offer broad opportunities for long-term as well as instant analyses and related services. The approach requires cutting-edge technology in the hardware and software domains. Hardware must be built according to the respective architectural requirements, and software needs to be designed according to user needs and concepts for implementation, even in existing workflows. Both aspects must be addressed to create optimized geoinformation services, based on geospatial and environmental data that either exist or will become available. The symposium will provide an appropriate platform for the key players, including the armed forces and authorities with security functions as well as the research and industry sectors. The participants will demonstrate their own capabilities, raise issues and probe opportunities for cooperation. Additionally, an industry exhibition will allow attendees to take a close look at cutting-edge hardware and software applications.
