Description:
In the big data era, emerging mobility data sources (e.g., GPS tracks, cell phone data, and Wi-Fi probe data) provide new opportunities for spatial knowledge discovery. These new mobility datasets have been widely adopted to understand large-scale human movement patterns and trends, which are further employed to answer scientific questions that were impossible to be answered by traditional data sources and instruments. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, these new mobility datasets have been harnessed to identify human interaction as an important parameter for predictive case simulation and modeling.
Further aided by the development in computational science and cyberinfrastructure, new mobility data as a typical big data source are making a paradigm shift towards new ways of scientific inquiries. However, leveraging the new mobility data is not without limitations, such as the sample selection bias, the algorithmic uncertainty, and the invasion of privacy.
Symposium Description:
The Institute for Geospatial Understanding through an Integrative Discovery Environment (I-GUIDE, https://iguide.illinois.edu) is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of its Harnessing the Data Revolution Big Idea initiative (https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/harnessing.jsp). Sponsored by I-GUIDE, this symposium will explore theories, concepts, methods, and tools focused on data-intensive geospatial understanding for driving innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and cyberGIS (cyber-based geographic information science and systems) approaches to address sustainability challenges such as aging infrastructure, biodiversity loss, and food and water insecurity.
At the AAG 2023 annual meeting, the Symposium on Harnessing the Geospatial Data Revolution for Sustainability Solutions will be held by building on the successes of previous Symposia focused on cyberGIS and geospatial data science at AAG annual meetings since 2011. A suite of paper and panel sessions will address cutting-edge advances of cyberGIS, geospatial AI and data science, and fundamental geospatial understanding derived from spatial and spatiotemporal data synthesis. The topical themes of the symposium will include, but are not limited to, frontiers of cyberGIS, geospatial AI and data science, high-performance computing approaches to geographic problem solving, geographic approaches to resilience and sustainability challenges enabled by AI and cyberGIS, and challenges and opportunities of education and workforce development in harnessing the geospatial data revolution.
