COM.Geo 2012 Highlight (2): GPU Computing for Geospatial
GPUs are accelerating everything! GPUs have been widely used for  geo-visualization. But today's GPUs are powerful for general purpose computing -- GPGPU. GPGPU has great promise for bringing the distributing processes to the geospatial research and application, such as point clouds based LiDAR data processing and large remote sensing image processing, etc. >>

COM.Geo 2012 Highlight (1): Sensor Computing for Geospatial
What will be a world characterized by sensors everywhere? How to handle sensor data explosion in such a world? At COM.Geo 2011, the workshop, “Expanding Geoweb to An Internet of Things”, was introduced. This year, COM.Geo 2012 will further bring more new thoughts to explore sensor computing for geospatial research and application.. >>
