[GSDI Technical] CfP special issue "towards a geoprocessing web"

[Kate Lance]

A Call for Papers has been issued for a Special Issue of the journal Computers & 
Geosciences, with the title "towards a geoprocessing web"... 

As Web services technology has matured in recent years, a new scalable 
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is emerging as the basis for distributed 
computing and large networks of collaborating applications. Meanwhile, an 
increasing amount of geospatial content and capabilities are available online as 
Web services. These Web Services allow users to collect, analyze and derive 
geospatial data, information, and knowledge on the Web in an interoperable way. 
In this respect, the analysis and transformation of geospatial data into 
geospatial information performed by Web-based geoprocessing is important. 
Moreover, Web-based geoprocessing of distributed geospatial information is 
changing the way in which geoscience applications and systems are designed, 
developed and used. Therefore, the Geoprocessing Web is emerging currently as 
one of the most desirable and vital research areas of geospatial information. 
The research on Geoprocessing Web is not limited to Web service technology, but 
also requires new domain-specific concepts and methodologies, and new approaches 
regarding development and management.
This special issue is to collect the current representative research in the area 
of Geoprocessing Web. To this aim, the Editors seek a number of high-quality 
research and application papers that discuss the state-of-the-art research on 
theoretic framework and practical implementations, and identify challenges and 
open issues in Geoprocessing Web. Topics of interests include, but are not 
limited to:
Service-Oriented Architecture for the Geoprocessing Web
Geoprocessing in the Grid and in the Cloud computing
Geoprocessing and Linked data
Standards and Metadata for Geoprocessing
Discovery in the Geoprocessing Web
Quality of Service and Service Level Agreement in the Geoprocessing Web
Geoprocessing Web and the Model Web
Geospatial e-Science Workflow
Applications in the Geoprocessing Web
