The Workshop on GeoSpatial and GeoTemporal Informatics (GSTI'08) focuses on geo-spatial and geo-temporal informatics. The motivation for the organization of this workshop comes from the substantial challenges posed to traditional geoinformatics by the emergence of novel technological devices, artifacts and methodologies, including (but not limited to) sensors and sensor deployment techniques (e.g., geosensor networks, video cameras on-board unmanned aerial vehicles, hand-held devices and more). These innovations represent the rapid evolution of the traditional static and centralized geocomputational paradigm. They are drastically changing the types of data that are collected, analyzed, and disseminated, they are broadening the applications in which these datasets are used, and they are also expanding the corresponding user community. In order to address this evolution and its impact on the future of science and engineering research and ultimately on the needs of society, the workshop will bring together a number of leading researchers from the US and overseas. The objective is to identify the emerging major challenges in geospatial and geotemporal informatics, and to make relevant recommendations to the scientific community, anticipating future needs and demands. The research challenges addressed by GSTI'08 extend the frontiers of traditional geospatial research, addressing computer science issues such as spatiotemporal queries over diverse data feeds, mobile computing, location-based services, streaming data integration and mining, automated updating of geospatial databases, VR modeling, and computer vision. The GSTI'08 Workshop is to be held in the Washington, DC metropolitan area in the fall of 2008. The workshop is expected to have significant impact by identifying research areas that need to be pursued in order to support and respond to emerging and predicted societal needs. The workshop results, including a report, will be widely disseminated via the Web site (http://www.ggs.cos.gmu.edu/workshops/GSTI-08/) and other venues.

GeoSpatial and GeoTemporal Informatics研讨会（GSTI'08）聚焦于地理空间和地理时间信息学。组织本次研讨会的动机来自于新技术设备、工件和方法的出现对传统地理信息学构成的重大挑战，包括（但不限于）传感器和传感器部署技术（例如，地理传感器网络、机载无人驾驶飞行器上的摄像机、手持设备等）。这些创新代表了传统静态和集中式地理计算范式的快速演变。它们正在极大地改变收集、分析和传播的数据类型，它们正在扩大使用这些数据集的应用程序，它们也在扩大相应的用户群体。为了解决这一演变及其对未来科学和工程研究的影响以及最终对社会需求的影响，研讨会将汇集来自美国和海外的一些主要研究人员。目标是确定地理空间和地理时间信息学中正在出现的主要挑战，并向科学界提出相关建议，预测未来的需要和要求。GSTI'08所解决的研究挑战扩展了传统地理空间研究的前沿，解决了诸如不同数据源的时空查询、移动计算、基于位置的服务、流数据集成和挖掘、地理空间数据库的自动更新、VR建模和计算机视觉等计算机科学问题。GSTI'08研讨会将于2008年秋季在华盛顿特区举行。预计讲习班将产生重大影响，确定需要进行的研究领域，以支持和响应新出现的和预测的社会需求。讲习班的成果，包括一份报告，将通过网站（http://www.ggs.cos.gmu.edu/workshops/GSTI-08/）和其他场所广泛传播。
