Geospatial software plays an essential role in acquiring, transforming, and using geospatial information and knowledge, thus facilitating the understanding of coupled human-natural systems. High-performance Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software are often produced using advanced Geospatial Cyberinfrastructure platforms. However, the measurement of quality is still in the gray area. For example, user satisfaction, usability testing, and human-centered computing are the major factors contributing to the acceptance and popularity of high-performance geospatial software tools. As the complexity of many systems continues to grow, ensuring security, safety, and reliability becomes imperative. This workshop provides a valuable platform to scientists and engineers from industry and academia and different communities, including Geoscience, computer science, and software engineering, to present the challenges faced in research and workforce development. The workshop consists of keynote presentations, a training session, paper sessions, and panel discussions to discuss the best and most efficient techniques for developing secure, safe, and reliable geospatial software systems. The workshop will prioritize minority students when selecting the participants for the workshop. Minority and socially disadvantaged students and educators will be recruited to the workshop through the travel award program. The workshop material will be disseminated to diverse research communities through collaboration networks. The proposed workshop will enhance practices and processes for developing ethical and secured geospatial software within computer science, engineering, and Geoscience research domains. Through the workshop, the proposed work aims to strengthen the software research workforce development by providing lectures, training, and presentation at the conference and sharing results with diverse research communities through collaboration networks. The workshop covers topics such as Geoethics, high-performance software development, geospatial software usability testing, and software dependability. The project team has partnered with national and regional professional societies and public and private institutions to translate Cyberinfrastructure enabled geospatial software development practices into diverse organizational contexts to promote cyberinfrastructure education among Geoscience, Engineering, and Computer Science research communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地理空间软件在获取，转换和使用地理空间信息和知识中起着至关重要的作用，从而促进了对耦合人类自然系统的理解。高性能地理信息系统（GIS）软件通常是使用高级地理空间网络基础设施平台生产的。但是，质量的测量仍在灰色区域。例如，用户满意度，可用性测试和以人为本的计算是导致高性能地理空间软件工具接受和流行的主要因素。随着许多系统的复杂性不断增长，必须确保安全，安全性和可靠性。该研讨会为工业和学术界以及包括地球科学，计算机科学和软件工程在内的不同社区的科学家和工程师提供了一个宝贵的平台，以提出研究和劳动力发展中面临的挑战。研讨会包括主题演讲，培训课程，纸质会议和小组讨论，以讨论开发安全，安全和可靠的地理空间软件系统的最佳，最有效的技术。在选择研讨会的参与者时，研讨会将优先考虑少数民族学生。少数民族和社会不利的学生和教育工作者将通过旅行奖计划招募到研讨会。研讨会材料将通过协作网络传播到多样化的研究社区。拟议的研讨会将增强在计算机科学，工程和地球科学研究领域中开发道德和安全的地理空间软件的实践和过程。通过研讨会，拟议的工作旨在通过在会议上提供讲座，培训和演讲来加强软件研究工作人员的发展，并通过协作网络与不同的研究社区共享结果。该研讨会涵盖了诸如地球伦理学，高性能软件开发，地理空间软件可用性测试和软件可靠性等主题。该项目团队已与国家和地区专业社会以及公共和私人机构合作，将网络基础设施翻译使地理空间软件开发实践成为多元化的组织环境，以促进地球科学，工程和计算机科学研究社区之间的Cyber​​infrasture教育，这反映了NSF的法定任务和Intelpriation的范围。
