Are you a passionate coder wanting to shape the future of Location Based Services (LBS) and Geo-IoT (Internet of Things)? Maybe you’re already working on an LBS-based application? Or perhaps you want to test your skills while developing a prototype?
Either way, the Galileo Hackathon is for you.
The two-day hackathon is a unique opportunity to showcase your coding skills, connect with the GEO-IoT app development community, gain a competitive advantage for your future projects and compete for a chance to win exciting prizes. Competitors will also be amongst the very first to utilise Galileo-enabled mobile phones.
As Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Galileo provides improved positioning and timing information that will greatly benefit European services and users – including the LBS community. Being fully compatible with all existing and future GNSS (i.e., GPS, GLONASS, etc.), Galileo enables a seamless and accurate experience for multi-constellation users worldwide. With Galileo Initial Services set to launch this year, the Galileo Hackathon is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future of Location Based Services.
The challenge to you is to come up with innovative applications that make full use of the Galileo’s numerous capabilities. There are no limitations on the types of applications you can submit, so be creative and show us how your application will bring an added commercial or societal value by using Galileo services.
Judges from the mobile technology and LBS industry, along with GNSS experts, will evaluate applications based on their level of innovation, benefit(s) to society, market readiness, usefulness, usability and design. Two winners will be announced, one for the most innovative Galileo app and one for the app having the most substantial societal impact, with both winners receiving a cash prize of EUR 500.00 and having their work featured on the GSA website.
The Hackathon is open to any individual or team of two to four people interested in developing new applications using Galileo. The Hackathon will be held November 3 – 4 during WhereCamp, the ‘unconference’ dedicated to geolocation enthusiasts and professionals, at Berlin’s Beuth University of Applied Sciences. All participants must register for both WhereCamp Berlin and the Galileo Hackathon and must commit to participating in both days of the event. Registration is free.

First of Several Research Findings Published in ASCE Journal Natural Hazards Review
EXTON, Pa., U.S.A. – Bentley Fellow Dr. Zheng Yi Wu and a team from Rutgers University jointly published a paper titled “Analysis of Dominant Factors Associated with Hurricane Damages to Residential Structures Using the Rough Set Theory” in the March 29, 2016 issue of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) journal Natural Hazards Review. The research was sponsored by Bentley and jointly conducted with research collaborator Dr. Jie Gong, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rutgers University; Postdoctoral Research Fellow Bingsheng Liu; and Graduate Research Assistant Xuan Hu.
The research leveraged the data collected from advanced remote sensing technologies, including mobile LiDAR sensors, to collect high-resolution, 3D images of damaged communities. Using Bentley Pointools and MicroStation software, a “reality modeling” representation was then developed to enable rapid assessment of hurricane-related flooding. One outcome of the research was the determination of the dominant factors that contributed to the failure of residential structures during the hurricane. In the United States, Hurricane Sandy was the second costliest hurricane in U.S. history and affected 24 states, including the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine. The technical paper can be accessed at ASCE Library.
Dr. Zheng Wu said, “Bentley’s reality-modeling-based approach allows rapid and objective evaluation of hurricane damage and, more importantly, yields more extensive data, thereby enabling more strategic approaches to building and rebuilding infrastructure that better ensure resiliency. We gained valuable insights into the specific mechanisms of damage and how best to conduct systematic assessment of damages. In addition to publication by ASCE, our research findings are being published in several other journals, and we have been asked to present our findings in many conference venues and workshops sponsored by state and federal agencies.”
Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rutgers University, Dr. Jie Gong said, “Working together with Dr. Wu at Bentley, I was able to take my initial research concept and turn it into a predictive model on hurricane damage and damage mitigation that has important practical applications for the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and any other part of the world with hurricane events. I am indebted to Dr. Wu’s hydraulics modeling expertise, Bentley’s MicroStation and Pointools modeling and visualization software, and the work of the two talented post-graduate interns who worked on this important project.”
Global Head, Bentley Institute, Vinayak Trivedi said, “Bentley Fellow Dr. Zheng Wu’s project is an excellent example of Bentley Institute’s commitment to advancing the infrastructure professions. Studying the mechanisms of damage of Hurricane Sandy and applying the information learned from this data will help to mitigate both the economic and environmental impact of future hurricanes and create greater infrastructure resiliency.”
Dr. Wu also collaborates frequently with researchers at the School of Municipal Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, in Harbin, China. The June 2016 issue of ASCE’s Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management published a paper detailing the results of joint research entitled “Leakage Zone Identification in Large-Scale Water Distribution Systems Using Multiclass Support Vector Machines.” The paper presents a new method for identifying leakage zones of water distribution systems, and can be accessed here.
In other ASCE news, Greg Bentley, CEO, was recently named to the ASCE Industry Leaders Council (ILC). ILC engages senior leaders from industry, academia, government, and non-governmental organizations to prioritize agenda-setting actions for ASCE and the civil engineering profession.
Greg Bentley, CEO, said, “I am honored to join a distinguished group of industry leaders on the Industry Leaders Council and look forward to working together to identify critical national infrastructure challenges and, more importantly, solutions and strategies that advance America’s infrastructure.”

Společnost Esri vyhlásila soutěž pro studenty vysokých a středních škol o nejlepší mapu s příběhem.
Cílem je vytvořit co nejlepší aplikaci v šabloně Story Map Journal s využitím obsahu Živého atlasu světa, ze kterého je možné vybrat zajímavé vrstvy, analyzovat je a vytvořit si například vlastní prediktivní model, který se bude zabývat řešením určitého problému.
Nejlepší příběhy vybere porota ve třech kategoriích (krajina, oceán, obyvatelstvo) a z každé budou vybráni tři výherci. Ti se mohou těšit na výhry v hodnotě 2000, 5000 a 10 000 dolarů a uveřejnění aplikace na konferencích Fed GIS a Edu Conference a na akcích Young Professionals Network.
Podívejte se na ukázky aplikací od českých uživatelů nebo do galerie Story Map. Při sestavování aplikace je možné využít i tipy a triky technické podpory, kde se tématu Story Map věnuje např. jeden z videoseminářů naší technické podpory nebo článek 10 tipů, jak vytvářet poutavé mapy s příběhem.
Kompletní podmínky soutěže jsou k dispozici na webových stránkách Esri.
