Dr. Andrew U. Frank is Professor of Geoinformation at the Technical University of Vienna since 1991. He teaches courses in spatial information systems, representation of geometric data, design of Geographic Information Systems for administration and business, selection of GIS software, and economic and administrative strategies for the introduction of GIS. In 1999 he became head of the newly founded Institute for Geoinformation and Land Surveying. In 2004 this Institute was merged with the Institute for Cartography and Geo-Media-Techniques and he is now the head of the Institute for Geoinformation and Cartography.
He leads an active research group focusing on problems of spatial cognition, user interfaces for GIS, and the economic and organizational aspects of the collection, management and use of geographic information. This work is supported by industry and research foundations. He is involved in several research projects of the European Commission. 1995 he completed a project for the organization of an international post-graduate course in GIS. Based on his experience from consulting assignments his present research interests comprise the cultural differences among European GIS-users as well as administrative and legal topics. He was also leader of the project “Study on European GI Policy Issues” under the GI2000 program of the European Commission. He is currently involved in the COST G9 project and to EU IST projects.

Dr. Mir Abolfazl Mostafavi, is professor at the Department of geomatics sciences, Laval university. He is Scientific Director of the Centre for Research in geomatics (www.crg.ulaval.ca) since 2010. He currently leads the CONVREGENCE Network (www.convergence.ulaval.ca) which aim is to facilitate the collaboration and the partnership among academia, industry and government sectors to stimulate research and innovation activities in geospatial sciences and to accelerate the knowledge transfer to potential users. His research interests are mainly focused on the dynamic GIS, spatial data modeling and representation, geosimulation, spatial ontologies and semantic, mobile geospatial virtual and augmented reality and geosensor networks for smart environments. Dr. Mostafavi has been an active member of GEOIDE (Canadian Network of Centers of Excellence) for more than 10 years. He is a member of the Centre for Interdisciplinary research in rehabilitation and social integration where he conducts innovative research on the development of geospatial assistive technologies for people with motor disabilities (http://mobilisig.scg.ulaval.ca/). Currently, he leads an international working group on Semantic Interoperability and Ontology for Geospatial Information within the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ICWG II/IV).
