2013 CGA Conference - Creating the Policy and Legal Framework for a Location-Enabled Society

conference

On Friday, May 6, 2011, the CGA convened it’s annual two-day conference. Below are the presentations of the plenary sessions.

Location-enabled devices are weaving “smart grids” and building “smart cities” and increasingly they allow those who provide services to track, whether we are walking past stores on the street or seeking help in a natural disaster.

Such deep penetration of the geospatial technologies into people’s daily lives, however, generates policy and legal concerns with privacy, security, and government funding. These issues are relatively new to the academic community and to human societies at large. Technology developers, industries, legal experts, policy makers and citizen rights advocates will meet in this conference to discuss the opportunities and challenges of a location-enabled society. read more
