ABOUT
The International Symposium on GeoInformatics for Spatial-Infrastructure Development in Earth & Allied Sciences (GIS-IDEAS) is scheduled to take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, 16-18 September 2004. This is followup to the very successful GIS-IDEAS Symposium held in Hanoi, Vietnam in September 2002 (http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/gisideas/). The main theme of the GIS-IDEAS 2004 would be on Geoinformatics applications (Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS etc.) for monitoring, predicting, managing and mitigation of natural disasters. The symposium will also focus on development of spatial databases and analysis of spatial data for modelling and simulation of processes related to our natural and social environment. GIS-IDEAS Symposium in 2004 not only aims to serve as a forum for scientific exchanges but also as a conduit for technology transfer through tutorial sessions. Further, in order to promote a better understanding of local needs, field excursions and visits to scientific institutes in Vietnam are also being planned. The language of the conference will be English.
