    Logo: 27th IUGG General AssemblyOrganizers of the 27th IUGG General Assembly, which is set to take place July 8-18 in Montréal, Québec, Canada, are accepting submissions for Symposium G05 — Multi-Signal Positioning, Remote Sensing and Applications. This symposium is one of two organized by IAG Commission 4 and taking place during the event.

    The multi-signal positioning symposium will be convened by Marcelo Santos of Canada, and co-conveners will include Australi’s Allison Kealy, Greece’s Vasilis Gikas, Australia’s Jinling Wang and Poland’s Pawel Wielgosz.

    The symposium will key in on positioning applications. It will focus on theoretical and practical advancements, as well as innovative applications and architectures for multi-signal positioning, remote sensing and applications. It will also address issues and opportunities coming from multi-constellation signals.

    Organizers will accept submissions that address navigation, timing and guidance systems for autonomous vehicles, intelligent transport systems, personal mobility, and other safety and liability critical applications. Abstracts must be submitted via the online submission system by Feb. 18.

  • Registration Opens for International Symposium on GNSS

    Registration Opens for International Symposium on GNSS

    Kyoto-banner-TRegistration is now open for the International Symposium on GNSS (IS-GNSS 2015), which will be held Nov. 16-19 in Kyoto, Japan. The early bird registration deadline has been extended and closes Aug. 31, and regular registration is Sept. 1-Oct. 31.

    The International Symposium on GNSS is designed to bring together experts engaged in PNT and GNSS technologies — including industry professionals, practitioners, academics and researchers — to disseminate their latest research results and allow cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge to further advance the fields.

    Brad Parkinson will deliver the keynote address. Besides keynote addresses, the conference will feature oral presentations, interactive poster sessions, panel sessions, open interactive forums and an informative trade exhibition.

    The Asia and Pacific Rim meeting of the CGIC (Civil GPS Service Interface Committee) will be co-located with ISGNSS 2015 to help improve understanding of world trends in developing and deploying GNSS.

    Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan and a top tourist destination, organizers said, with the conference scheduled during the best sightseeing season.

    Registration will open April 1, along with a hotel booking page. The logistic information will be announced later.

    A student scholarship is being offered to the student with the most promising paper. “If you have students, please encourage them to apply,” said Akio Yasuda, president of Institute of Positioning, Navigation and Timing of Japan.

    For more information on the conference, including sponsorships and exhibits, visit the conference website or email [email protected].

  • IS-GNSS 2015 Extends Scholarship Paper Deadline

    Organizers of the International Symposium on GNSS (IS-GNSS 2015) have extended the deadline for submission of the abstracts for scholarship applied papers for one week. The new deadline is July 7 23:59:59 JST (UTC+9).
