Dear Colleagues,
The final report on Advancing the Spatially Enabled Smart Campus
(specialist meeting in Santa Barbara CA , 11-12 December 2013) is now
available at
http://spatial.ucsb.edu/events/specialist-meetings/asesc-home/. At this
site, you can also access the position papers from 35 participants, nearly
two-dozen presentations, and notes from breakout sessions. Participants
included campus planners, facility managers, and sustainability officers;
librarians, faculty, and students; and representatives from industry
(geographic information systems and mapping, sensor networks, and
smart-cities software systems for resource management of buildings).
The primary focus of the meeting was to evaluate and assess the role of
spatial technologies to (1) enhance sustainability through management of
campus physical infrastructure and (2) to facilitate knowledge
infrastructure by integrating information resources that are consistent with
the educational and research missions of colleges and universities. The
attention given to spatial perspectives and tools provided a common
framework for uniting these general constituencies. It was concluded that
institutions of higher learning should be vanguards of innovation in
demonstrating the value of widespread geo-coding, visualization, and spatial
analysis of campus physical resources, campus intellectual and social
activities, interdisciplinary research, and interactions between campuses
and neighboring communities.
For more information, please contact Werner Kuhn ([log in to unmask]),
Director of the UCSB Center for Spatial Studies.
