BIO Jaak has developed GIS, LBS and smartphone solutions for about 20 years. LBS solutions created by him are running in major mobile operators around the world. In last 5 years his focus has been in smartphone-based map visualization and GIS tools. ABSTRACT Challenge to fit GIS and geodata to smart devices In addition to endusers also enterprise data collection, management and usage moves from PC and web to the smartphone platforms. Some GIS vendors provide tools and SDKs to simplify application development and customization, others have different solutions. There are also some 3rd party products and free and open source tools. I will give overview of key technical challenges on smartphone-based GIS approach, and what are solutions which are currently offered and what we will see in near future.

Prior to joining Leica Geosystems, Mike spent over 20 years working in different roles for Ordnance Survey GB. For the last 10 years, Mike has worked as Head of Business Solutions for Esri, UK.At this moment Mike is Regional Market Segment Manager for the Asset Collection & Management for the EMEA Region. ABSTRACT Data rich but information poor; optimizing assets by capturing rich and accurate information using simple, integrated and affordable methodologies For many years the GIS and surveying communities have operated independently, often resulting in data silos and an inability to integrate survey geometry with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The consequences of this has been a loss of data integrity resulting in poorly managed assets and in some cases fines imposed by regulators amounting to €m due to data compliance issues.Many organisations are now placing GIS at the centre of their asset management operations and are demanding better data to help them better understand the location, condition and nature of assets they are responsible for. Rather than treating asset collection and asset management as separate operations, Asset Collection and Management workflows are now being integrated into one process to improve the quality and integrity of the central data repository. This provides users with access to better and more reliable information to improve the ongoing management and maintenance of critical assets. In addition to this managers and clients are demanding lightweight cloud applications and services that rely on reliable, accurate and timely data. Mike Cooper, Leica Geosystems Regional Market Manager EMEA will highlight the compelling benefits that have been achieved using a more integrated approach and connecting the survey and GIS communities using a number of case studies across both public and private sector organisations, solutions that have enabled organisations to capture richer, more accurate, more reliable data, more quickly than ever before to achieve savings of between 30% and 50% while protecting the reputation of the business with the provision of information services where clients and users have confidence in the data provided.
ABSTRACT Leveraging Selangor Land Use Planning Through Optimization Of Its Web Enabled Spatial Information System - SISMAPS Located in the Klang Valley which is part of the Kuala Lumpur conurbation identified in the Malaysia National Physical Plan as the main growth engine of the Nation economy, Selangor is among the fast growing states in Malaysia. While comprising major cities with high urbanisation rate due to the strategic economic setting, state-wide land use planning and coordination has remain a substantial challenge to the responsible authority. Realizing the need to be well informed of the rapid land use changes, the Selangor Town and Country Planning Department (TCPD) had advanced on the development of the web enabled Selangor Planning Information System (SISMAPS) with support from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to facilitate efficient procedures of land use planning as well as effective development control, implementation and monitoring. The system framework had utilized the Enterprise GIS technology solutions and comprises several components to provide for the state Spatial Planning Data Infrastructure including a comprehensive database as well as several user applications to cater for the state-concerned planning and development activities. The system implementation which involves the participation of all 12 local authorities across the state is significantly able to facilitate the planning approval process, establish harmonized development between neighbouring municipalities and address discrepancies between the current land use and gazetted development plans. This paper discusses the system concept and design as well as strategies adopted in its development and implementation despite the challenges and issues encountered along the course. The project has also looked into possibilities for integration with other relevant applications, both internal and external, for extended benefits.
