10:00 - 10:45	Keynote Speech 3: Dr. Andrew Hill	Vizzuality, Spain

	The power of storytelling for GIS experts	Curriculum Vitae Storytelling is the most important tool you will use to share the knowledge you create. While you spend your time refining GIS skills and your ability to use the tools of our community, what you may not realize is that you are becoming an expert at identifying stories in data, data that alone are all but meaningless to the rest of the world. Make it your mission to tell good stories with data and you will become an invaluable contributor in your future collaborations. This talk will explore how open source tools, modern web technologies, and a diverse mapping and GIS community are changing the way we present and communicate geospatial data.

12:30 - 13:15	Keynote Speech 4: Dr. Alan Glennon	Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal
	Experiments in Geospatial Optimization	Curriculum Vitae Geospatial optimization considers the problem of balancing objectives and constraints in spatiotemporal resource allocation. People continuously encounter such problems in achieving goals related to position (e.g., prime location), navigation (e.g., choice path), and arrangement (e.g., best configuration). In some respects, traditional GIS functionality mimics the naïve heuristics and often-incomplete information used for such decision making; that is, GIS affords satisficing instead of optimality. Better computers, data, and solution algorithms make more sophisticated approaches to geospatial problems possible. Combining geospatial data with analytical strategies from operations research, network analysis, and graph theory offers new tools for spatial problem solving. An example use case involves tourist routing; itinerary creation requiring balancing objectives and constraints generally is an ill-suited problem for a GIS. Framed as an optimization problem however, a logical workflow can be instantiated using open source software. While a vast amount of work has been conducted, particularly in the field of location science, an ongoing opportunity exists to inventory and categorize optimization workflows in a geospatial context.
13:15 - 14:00	Special Guest: Pedro-Juan Ferrer Matoses	Curriculum Vitae
	The Open Source Geospatial community	In this talk the presenter will explain what is the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), where does it comes from, and its main activities. The OSGeo Foundation has been leading the development of free geospatial software for the last seven years, providing an umbrella for many projects, big and small, from map servers to web-mapping libraries or metadata catalogues. But beyond the software development infrastructure, OSGeo is a big community of developers, power users, documenters, translators, advocates, project and company managers and enthusiasts of the geospatial open source software.
14:00 - 15:00	Lunch Break
15:00 - 17:00	Parallel Workshops
	Workshop 1: "Android programming on mobile platforms”, led by Luís Rodríguez and Diego Gargallo Tarín (Universitat Jaume I) The idea is to get into the principles of android mobile applications development, we will develop a very simple mobile app with basic GIS functionalities by using the Google API. At the end of the workshop the participants will be able to develop their own mobile app. Prerequisites: Have basic knowledge in programming, (previous mobile programming experience not necessary). Bring your laptop and Android smartphone with its usb cable. (In case you do not have it, no problem we will use an emulator) Location: Post-graduate building, 2nd floor - Lab 203. See the map here.
	Workshop 2: ''Creating Smart Campus basemaps and building functionality'', led by Ana Sanchis Huertas (Universitat Jaume I). Location: Espaitec II, 2nd floor
17:15 - 17:30	Closing Session
20:00	Informal dinner (self-financed)
	*each paper presentation will take around 25 minutes (including Q&A)
