4th Digital Earth Summit 2012
2-4 September 2012
Wellington, New Zealand
Theme: Digital Earth and Technology
Abstract deadline: 15 June 2012
?The Digital Earth Summit, held under the general theme, ?Digital
Earth and Technology,? will have?a focus on the tools we use to build
resilient and sustainable environments.?Digital Earth is comprised of
theoretical, technological, scientific, engineering, and applications
systems interconnected to support national and international
cooperation for sustainable development, economic growth and social
well-being. Digital Earth is the blurring of our physical and digital
worlds to serve as delivery infrastructure for scientific information.

The scientific committee?is inviting submissions for the Summit, and
asks that all submissions are received by the deadline of 15 June
2012. This summit will focus on three work streams:

The digital environment
Addressing global sustainability research questions allows us to better respond
to global environment changes that are threatening humanity.? This includes our
preparedness for, response to, and recovery from natural hazards, and the
pressures on our strategic resources such as energy, food and water.

Resilient cities
Designing, developing and repositioning cities to withstand natural events and a
changing global climate relies on a wealth of digital data. We collect this data
through functions like emergency management and response, risk assessment, and
quality of life and environmental monitoring. By making this information
available and using it to effectively communicate with people we can bridge the
gap between science and society to build better, stronger and more
resilient cities.

Growing up digital
Those who were born during or after the introduction of digital technology offer
an important perspective. These generations see the world through a
digital lens,
and understanding that vision for living, working, and playing in a
digital world
will have tremendous impact on tomorrow?s culture, economy, society and
environment. Expression of science through art is emerging as a
critical tool for
development and communication of Digital Earth vision.

To prompt thinking; some of the technologies and applications
associated with the
Digital Earth Vision are ones that relate to:
?? ? ? ? Natural Hazards
?? ? ? ? Digital Cities
?? ? ? ? Digital Mapping
?? ? ? ? Earth Observation Technologies and A pplications
?? ? ? ? Cloud Computing and Super Computing
?? ? ? ? Population Growth and Infrastructure Development
?? ? ? ? Adapting to Global and Climate Change
?? ? ? ? Collaborative science
?? ? ? ? Research delivery infrastructure
?? ? ? ? Open data and open source
?? ? ? ? Data analytics
?? ? ? ? Sensor webs
?? ? ? ? Sentient cities
?? ? ? ? Evidential data management
?? ? ? ? Crowd Sourcing
?? ? ? ? Empowering the Community
?? ? ? ? Managing Land and Water
?? ? ? ? Emergency Management and National Security
?? ? ? ? Natural Resource Management (NRM) and Agriculture
?? ? ? ? Innovation in Advanced Information Technologies
?? ? ? ? New Media and Story-telling
?? ? ? ? Spatial Data Infrastructure
?
