Classified Session
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), in collaboration with Northrop Grumman Information Systems, will be hosting an all-day classified session in conjunction with the 2012 ASPRS Annual Conference. The purpose of the classified session is to engage the attendees in exploring views, ideas, approaches, and research results for New Frontiers in GEOINT Analytics. NGA is also organizing several unclassified sessions to be held during the ASPRS Annual Conference. All participants for the unclassified sessions must be pre-registered with ASPRS.

We have available computing power undreamed of just a generation ago. New phenomenologies are now available. At the same time, the GEOINT community is dealing with problems qualitatively different from those confronted in years past. How can the GEOINT community bring these new capabilities to bear on traditional and emerging GEOINT issues? Which capabilities, new or old, can best help solve recently-arising GEOINT problems?
The concept of GEOINT Analytics includes, but is not limited to:
• Massive Geospatial Data
• New sources and sensors
• Visual Analytics
• Predictive intelligence
• Signature development & discovery
• Precision GEOINT
• Public Derived Data Analysis
• Improving access to, and use of GEOINT content and services • Strategic indications and warning
• Surface, subsurface, and above surface GEOINT
• GEOINT tradecraft
• Human Activity Analysis
• Spatial and Temporal Analysis
• Data Fusion
• Computational Geo-Analytics
• Evidence Based Anticipatory Analysis
Morning Session: Cutting edge research Presentations on New Frontiers in GEOINT Analytics.
Afternoon Session: In-depth round table discussions on New Frontiers in GEOINT Analytics.
