ABSTRACT THEMES/TOPICS

Abstract submissions are to be made under the following themes/topics. Please choose the topic you feel bestsuits your presentation (If accepted, please be aware your abstract may be nominated by the ProgramCommittee for a different topic to the one you have selected).

1. LOCATING THE DIGITAL ECONOMYLocation information is a fundamental part of our daily lives and is inextricably linked to the digital economy.Advances in mobile and cloud-based technologies are enabling location independence by connecting the digital

world to physical location; connecting people to services regardless of where they are located. Changes to howgovernment delivers services and industry does business will be especially significant in healthcare, insurance,agriculture and transport. Some examples are:

Public sector policies on open data, digital economy and spatial information Maximising the opportunity of spatial data Collaborative initiatives between the geospatial and telecommunications sectors Telecommunications and the National Broadband Network (NBN) Location-based innovation: augmented reality, the internet of things, the geoweb and geodesign Case studies from users of location capabilities (e.g. building and construction, energy and utilities, mining,

real estate, finance, insurance, smart cities, agriculture and more)

Smart cities and sustainable urban development

2. INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIESAdvances in technology continue to create economic and sociological benefits to the industry and community.The introduction of a new idea, method, technology, process or application to overcome technical challengesand deliver outstanding outcomes is the focus of this stream. Some examples are:

Projects that show the innovative use of spatial technology to a traditional business challenge The role of social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) and spatial information driving new

business insights for better decisions Maximising the value of mobile technology more than just a phone New Data Capture Methods (including 3D, imagery, etc.) advances in spatial data capture techniques that

not only create new data sets quickly but show that the cost of updating is not the burden itonce was

3. SPATIAL (SMART) CITIES

A Smart City by definition is driven by the location and the interrelationship of people, services and transport.The movement is made more efficient between home and office while creating green, energy efficient buildingsand linking people to information resources utilising an underlying spatial information framework. Someexamples are:

How Smart Cities create business value far above that of traditional design and build projects How Smart Cities provide community benefits for the future Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the use of spatial information Build it and they will come is this true of a Smart City? How does location attract people and drive

successful, sustainable cities of the future Environmental Modelling and Energy Management location selection for reduced operational costs for

Cities/Precincts

4. NATIONAL SECURITYFor its national security, Australia draws primarily on its defence, intelligence, diplomatic, development, lawenforcement and border security capabilities. Threats to national security involve not only conventionaladversaries but also terrorists, narcotic cartels and cyber criminals. Utilising the most contemporary methods toresolve the challenges Australia faces today and into the future will be the focus of this stream. Some examplesare:

Defence and Intelligence Cyber Security

Emergency Management Border Protection Energy, Resources and Food Security

5. THINK SPATIALLY (SPATIAL FOR A NON-SPATIAL WORLD)Governments and the private sector now see the value of spatial information as a corporate resource. Thewhere factor is driving business outcomes and in turn influencing business value. This stream will highlight theuse of spatial information in non-traditional applications including: retail, insurance, banking, assetmanagement, transport and not-for-profit. Some examples are:

How the need for spatial information was identified

What information was linked to spatial information and how The benefits provided by this new relationship of information Plans for the future expansion of spatial in the organisation

With the latest information on legislation briefs to new and excitingdevelopments in the profession, this stream will pose the questions: What next? Where next?
