PhD Defense on "Urban Livability" at the Doctoral College "GIScience"
Anna Kovacs-Györi successfully defended her PhD Thesis “Defining and Assessing Urban Livability”.Cities are complex systems and the task of accounting for this complexity in improving city quality is immense. International initiatives often focus on the improvement of the urban quality to address urban challenges. The concept of livability can support these endeavours by depicting the complex urba …
PhD defense on "Big Earth data" within the Doctoral College "GIScience"
Martin Sudmanns impressively defended his PhD Thesis “Big Earth data disruption in Earth observation: A geospatial perspective of a transition process”.Over the last four years, Martin aimed to explore big Earth data as a recent trend from a geospatial perspective and investigated whether this perspective could add unique value to tackle some technological challenges, such as EO data management an …

iDEAS:lab visit PH Linz
On November the 20th 2019, the Pädagogische Hochschule Linz took the opportunity for a visit in the iDEAS:lab Salzburg, which is aiming to contribute to teachers education. After a general introduction in the research areas of our science lab, the prospective teachers under the leadership of Mag. Alfons Koller were invited to get in touch with different theoretical concepts in GI-Science as well a …
Annual review IDEAS:lab 2019
For this years last event in the iDEAS:lab, the Bundesrealgymnasium Linz took the opportunity for a visit in our science lab. The programme for the participants was designed to provide two different modules. The students became acquainted with the positioning via GPS technology and its different applications referring to navigation. Practical training was offered outside by receiving different poi …
PhD on 'remaining white spots' on our maps
Laura Knoth from RSA iSPACE had focussed her doctoral studies on the interfacing of BIM (Building Information Models) and GIS, aiming at extending geospatial analysis capabilities towards the built and specifically indoor environment. Core elements of her research were developed during a semester at the University of Melbourne, contributing to one of her key doctoral publications.As data documenti …

Corona virus model for Austria
In the view of the Corona virus outbreak, all classes at the University of Salzburg are now delivered as distance learning courses. I have developed this interactive model of the virus spread in Austria as part of my course “Modelling Geographical Systems” in the Geoinformatics / Geography Masters programme. While it is not meant as a predictive model, parameters are based on known epidemeological …
400 delegates made ISEM2019 a great success
Ecological Modelling is a dynamic and growing field. Never before, an ISEM conference has attracted as many participants as ISEM2019 in Salzburg. With some impressions from four inspiring conference days, the Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS at the University of Salzburg wishes all delegates a safe trip home! …
Getting ready for #ISEM2019
400 delegates are currently getting on their way to the International Conference on Ecological Modelling 2019 in Salzburg. Here is, how you can make the most out of it: Come to Salzburg and register on-site, if you haven’t so far Sign up for a workshop on Tuesday, October 1. Registration is still open. Download Elsevier’s conference app for the program, side events, poster voting and whereabouts. …
Sparkling ideas for ABM Theory development
In July I was invited to a workshop on Agent-based Theory development in Hannover. Reading the participants list felt like the who-is-who in Agent-based modelling. I was super-excited about the event: ABM theory and methods development is my core interest and well – arguably there aren’t too many people, who share this weird passion. The workshop turned out to be an ABM firework! Three days, that …
773 abstracts received! Ecological Modelling Conference, Salzburg
We have received an overwhelming interest for the ISEM 2019 conference, with an increase of submitted abstracts by more than 70%.

However, the motivation …
Impressive PhD Defense: Congrats Dr. Francis Oloo!
Integrating sensor-streams into agent-based models (ABM) is like trying to fit circles into a triangular hole. However, it is becoming ever more relevant in today’s technical realities of data streams that are embedded virtually everywhere. Some of the wicked problems that Francis had to tackle were: How to utilise the inceasing wealth of data in an inherently theory-based method? How to validate …
