CISG Committee Descriptions, Chairs and Members:



Research and Technology:

Help define the vision of the Geospatial CI of the future, including its components. Produce a White Paper vision document fairly soon that captures the CI needs of Geography (in all subdisciplines) and which can be presented to NSF and other stakeholders.

Chair: Shaowen Wang, U. Illinois, <shaowen@ad.uiuc.edu>

Vice-Chair: James Wilson, James Madison U., wilsonjw@jmu.edu

Sung-Gheel Jang, Cleveland State U., s.jang75@csuohio.edu

Xuan Shi, Ga.Tech, Xuan.Shi@coa.gatech.edu

Ningchuan Xiao, Ohio State U., xiao.37@osu.edu

Chaowei Yang, George Mason U., cyang3@gmu.edu

Shashi Shekhar, U. Minnesota, shekhar@cs.umn.edu

Rob Raskin, JPL, raskin@jpl.nasa.gov

Zhong-Ren Peng, U. Florida, zpeng@dcp.ufl.edu


Education/Outreach:

Educate geographers as to what CI is and what it can do. Generate an article about CI for the AAG Newsletter. Gain buy-in from all components of the Geography community so that we build up allies. Identify relevant educational resources.

Interim Chair: Rob Raskin, JPL, raskin@jpl.nasa.gov

Sung-Gheel Jang, Cleveland State U., s.jang75@csuohio.edu

Xuan Shi, Ga.Tech, Xuan.Shi@coa.gatech.edu

Ningchuan Xiao, Ohio State U., xiao.37@osu.edu

Chaowei Yang, George Mason U., cyang3@gmu.edu


Website and Electronic Communication:

Be responsible for the content of our web site including the wiki. Establish an electronic communication forum that enables proposal teams and other teaming activities to emerge. Maintain a list of funding opportunities.

Chair: Chaowei Yang, George Mason U., cyang3@gmu.edu

Wenwen Li, George Mason U., wli6@gmu.edu

Rob Raskin, JPL, raskin@jpl.nasa.gov


Awards:

Establish and disseminate awards that recognize progress in CI. Organize student paper competitions. Look for partners willing to fund awards.

Interim Chair: Dawn Wright, Oregon State U.

Michael P. Finn, USGS, mfinn@usgs.gov

Planned Activities


Education and Outreach:

• Educate other geographers about CI and its capabilities

• Address what CI can do for Geography (and geospatial science)

• Engage geographers to invite their insights into CI

• Bring our experiences back to our communities

• Educate GI scientists at GIScience 2008 Conference

• Provide briefings to NSF that include inputs from the entire community, speaking with a single voice

• Organize discussions with other Specialty Groups and with computer scientists


Products:

• A vision document analogous to NSF Vision statement (the one that NSF should have created)

• AAG Newsletter article that describes CISG and opens dialog with all geographers (high priority)

• Working models and examples of CI spanning all of Geography

• Talking points for geographers to take to their communities

• Proposal to NSF for Workshop to engage entire community


AAG Meeting Activities:

• Establish CISG as a featured Specialty Group at a future Meting

• Organize illustrated paper session in conjunction with other Specialty Groups with invited noted geographers


Web Presence and Internal Communication:

• Develop Web portal that captures CI capabilities (see GEON web site as a good example)

• Use our Wiki discussion to define CI and identify CI expertise


Management:

• Set short-term and long-tern goals

• Establish budget and create reports

• Setup ad hoc committees for each of the nine CI Components (see next page)
