<h2>What is GeoMundus?<br />
</h2>
</header>
<p>
GeoMundus is a free international symposium organised by the students from the <a href="http://mastergeotech.info/" style="color: blue" target="_blank"> Erasmus Mundus Master's of Science in Geospatial Technologies</a>.
The conference aims to share cutting-edge scientific research, knowledge, and skills in the fields of Geospatial Technologies, Geoinformatics, and Geosciences, including but not limited to geographic information systems and sciences, spatial cognition, geography, and spatial data sciences. This year’s GeoMundus will also explore the use of Artificial Intelligence in these fields, highlighting the research that pushes the boundaries of geospatial analysis through machine learning, with specific keynote, workshop, and presentations.

<br><br>
The technical environment for GIScience is changing rapidly, with growing interest in such topics as social media, autonomous vehicles, Big Data and data science, artificial intelligence and deep learning, and urban informatics and smart cities, all of which have significant geospatial dimensions. There is also growing tension between ease-of-use on the one hand, and rigorous science on the other. I sketch some key issues that will determine how GIScience can and should develop in this increasingly challenging environment.

Vast amounts of geographically-related multimedia data contents are nowadays available online and/or in digital formats, which has created new opportunities related to the application of
spatial analysis methods within fields such as the computational social sciences and/or the digital humanities (e.g., using unstructured big data to understand how people observe their world).
Examples include Wikipedia or news articles, travel diaries or blog entries, Twitter messages, or online photographs. These multimedia contents about places, crowdsourced from social sensors or available within large collections, are often of high value because they offer alternative views on places, more complete and/or up-to-date than other authoritative geospatial data sources. However, there are also several challenges in using this information, related to its unstructured and un-standardized nature (e.g., it is difficult to correctly match information in texts and/or photos to specific locations on the Earth). This talk will review the use of machine learning approaches for extracting geographical information from unstructured contents, discussing recent approaches based on deep neural networks for classifying and/or geo-referencing unstructured data, of interest to several application domains.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming public infrastructure into digital things that can enhance the quality of life of citizens. But the unquestionable change for digital transformation in our cities may come from citizens themselves. The Internet of Things generate an unprecedented amount of data streams about citizen experience that is impossible to handle using traditional GIS. Mainly because the data streams usually exhibit high data rates with out-of-order arrival problems, communication loss, and they are usually noisy, incomplete, and unreliable. The research challenges are related to how we can analyze these data streams in a timely way considering computing power, storage capability, network communication, privacy, security, and energy limitations of IoT environments. In this presentation we will explore how analytics everywhere ecosystems are modernizing analytical workflows in order to allow data scientists to collect and analyze data streams as they are being transported through distributed resources such as edge, fog and cloud computing. These ecosystems will deliver new insights for improving a citizen’s ability to understand what is happening and take an action accordingly.

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is an important player in the task of facing the challenges that changes in the world’s demography, environment and climate, are posing to agriculture nowadays. Through the breeding of better-adapted wheat and maize varieties, the ultimate goal of CIMMYT is to improve livelihood and to ensure food security, especially in developing countries. A key component of the breeding process is
plant phenotyping. The evaluation of relevant plant traits is essential not only to ensure higher yields, but also to design strategies that could result in plants adapted to different environments around the globe. The incorporation of remote sensing (RS) tools for plant phenotyping has boosted our capacity to evaluate large populations of germplasm for relevant and complex traits, facilitating the application of phenomics at different stages of
the breeding process and helping to understand the genetic basis of the interaction between gene and environment. The fast development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has represented an excellent opportunity for plant phenotyping. These platforms have been implemented in CIMMYT for more than five years, and they have demonstrated to be effective and affordable to remotely measure traits such as canopy temperature and NDVI in thousands of wheat
and maize lines. While the canopy temperature is a good predictor of yield and root function under abiotic stress, the spectral indices such as NDVI can be used for predicting traits such as yield and biomass. In this presentation, we show our latest advances in the analysis of UAV based imaging for the screening of genetic resources within the context of breeding and physiological pre-breeding. We also discuss possible upcoming innovations that
are currently in the pipeline. Finally, we discuss the potential of this technology to improve the output of national breeding programs and farmers in developing countries.

This session includes 5 concurrent workshops. The aim is to provide participants with practical, hands-on exercises and activities.<br>
<br>
<strong>Workshop 1: Urban Ecosystem Services with GIS.</strong><br>
Facilitator: <a href="http://www.novaims.unl.pt/docentes-investigacao-docentes?d=127" target="_blank">Pedro Cabral, Assistant Professor at NOVA Information Management School</a><br>
The sustainable use of natural resources is of utmost importance for mankind. In this workshop we will introduce the concept of urban Ecosystem Services (ES). Then, we will explain how urban ES can be valued, both in biophysical and monetary terms. We will refer to some tools to work with ES biophysical and economic valuations focusing on InVEST tool from Natural Capital Project. We will use a case-study to demonstrate this approach. The objective is to show how we can use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and natural capital information for sustainable urban planning. At the end of this workshop, you should be able to: <br>
i. Understand and explain what urban ecosystem services are.<br>
ii. Understand how we can measure and value urban ecosystem services.<br>
iii. Use GIS and InVEST tools for quantifying ecosystem services.<br>
iv. Understand how to integrate natural capital information into urban planning.<br>
<br>
<strong>Workshop 2: <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=110CPypOPs1YmZ7VbNJUbrBcucxBi_Gs1">Smart Cities and Blockchain Technology</a></strong> <br>
Facilitator: <a href="http://www.novaims.unl.pt/docentes-investigacao-docentes?d=101" target="_blank">Miguel de Castro Neto, Assistant Professor and the Associate Dean at NOVA Information Management School</a> and <br>
<a href="http://www.novaims.unl.pt/docentes-investigacao-docentes?d=35" target="_blank">Henrique Carreiro, Invited Assistant Professor at NOVA Information Management School.</a><br>
With a global trend of growing urban population and faced with the need of fighting climate change cities are taking advantage of the ongoing digital transformation to be more efficient in resources usage and at the same time optimize services and infrastructures management in order to provide better services and guarantee higher quality of life to the people that lives, works and visits the cities.
This new reality, often referred as Smart Cities, is taking advantage of the Internet of Things, Big Data, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and many more possibilities induced by the digital transformation of urban spaces and by the city as a platform approach to create more sustainable and resilient cities.
Having said that, blockchain is being seen as a disruptive technology that also in the context of smart cities will have a significant impact, either in the present business models and in new products and services that are yet to be created.
In this workshop we will present blockchain, a peer-to-peer distributed ledger that is cryptographically secure, append-only, immutable, and updatable only via consensus or agreement among peers, how it works and how it is already impacting the smart city with the presentation of the major trends and potential applications.
