The 2018 International Workshop on Big Geospatial Data and Data Science will be held in Wuhan, China on September 22-23.

This conference is co-organized by Wuhan University, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Earth Science Informatics Technical Committee (ESI TC) and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) China Forum, and hosted by School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University as well as Hubei Province Engineering Center for Intelligent Geoprocessing.

Geospatial data are growing faster than ever due to the development of sensor technologies and cyber-infrastructures. The data are not only bigger than before but they also have increased complexity due to their very special characteristics of volume, variety, velocity, value, veracity, and variability. The workshop will provide a major venue for Earth science and informatics professionals and students to present and discuss state-of-the-art technologies for conducting research and education on big geospatial data management, analytics, and applications.
