As in the other editions of the Latin American Conference on Free Software (Latinoware), once again the work undertaken by the International Hydroinformatics Center (IHC) will be a stand out at the event, considered one of the largest of its kind on the continent.
On the stand mounted in the exhibition space, participants can register to receive via e-mail information in connection with systems and projects developed by the Center, such as Web Radio Water, a collaborative space that allows the exchange of information and experiences related to our most precious commodity: water.
Last year, at the IHC stand, participants were able to share their knowledge and experience in various areas of free software.
As one of the great specialties of IHC is the development of GIS systems, during the event, a participant with their geographical location registration system will be available to the public. In addition, presentations will be made of the systems at the stand during the event.
On the 19th, at 11am, Cesar Habby and Jônathan This will give the talk ‘ Interactive Maps Systems Development Using Free Software’. The systems analysts will address the free tools used in WebMaps Territorial Management System, which allows the visualization of existing spatialized geographic data on IHC and public servers.
Then, on the afternoon of the 19th, Luis Henrique Weiss – participant and contributor to the international gvSIG community – is promoting the short course ‘Geoprocessing using free platforms. MC4h’.
International Hydroinformatics Center
The International Hydroinformatics Center is a bi-national center, a result of the partnership between Itaipu Binacional and the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) of the UNESCO. Besides being a bi-national center, it is a UNESCO Category II Center, i.e. its activities are approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The IHC mission is to develop technological solutions for Land Management, using geo-technology for the development of free software systems for Web Platforms, with registration of information in geographic database and interactive maps applied to integrated watershed management.
