A Census for Open Data in Cities
The Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) have produced a census for government open data availability for countries around the world, known as the Open Data Index. Each country is assigned scores for 10 attributes on openness and accessibility for each of 10 types of data (such as election results and pollution information). Currently the United Kingdom […]

The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) volunteering impact report
Thursday marked the launch of The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) report on volunteering impact where they summarised a three year project that explored motivations, changes in pro-environmental behaviour, wellbeing and community resilience. The report is worth a read as it goes beyond the direct impact on the local environment of TCV activities, and demonstrates how involvement in environmental volunteering can […]

A Changing City – OS Open Data Reveals a Dynamic London
Since launching the data store in early 2010, the Ordnance Survey have been releasing a number of updates to an interesting dataset – VectorMap District – which is a generalisation and simplification of their MasterMap “gold standard” dataset for Great Britain. The updates have been appearing roughly every 6-12 months, and by comparing them in […]

AAG 2014: Geosimulation Models Sessions
If you going to this years AAG, you might be interested in our Geosimulation Models sessions which will take place on Wednesday the 9th of April from 10am.
Session Description: Since the publication of Geosimulation in 2004, the use of Agent-based Modeling (ABM) and Cellular Automata (CA) under the umbrella of Geosimulation models within geographical systems have started to mature as methodologies to explore a wide range of geographical and more broadly social sciences problems facing society. The aim of these sessions is to bring together researchers utilizing geosimulation techniques (and associated methodologies) to discuss topics relating to: theory, technical issues and applications domains of ABM and CA within geographical systems.
Organizers: Andrew Crooks – George Mason University, Suzana Dragicevic – Simon Fraser University, and Paul Torrens – University of Maryland
10:00 AM to 11:40, Room 39, TCC, Fourth Floor , Chair: Suzana Dragicevic
12.40PM to 2.20PM, Room 39, TCC, Fourth Floor, Chair: Paul Torrens
2:40 PM to 4:20 PM in Room 39, TCC, Fourth Floor, Chair: Paul Torrens
Siyu Fan and Yichun Xie
We would also like to thank the following AAG specialty groups for sponsoring our sessions: Spatial Analysis and Modeling Specialty Group, Cyberinfrastructure Specialty Group and the Geographic Information Science and Systems Specialty Group
