Registration is free for a limited number of attendees with voucher code "iSIGSpatial20".

Details:

The goal of this workshop is to provide students and researchers with hands-on experience with useful APIs such as web APIs or library APIs related to spatial data processing. At the same time, it gives an opportunity for API providers to reach out to targeted audience that can use their APIs. This will be an excellent opportunity for researchers to get familiar with the APIs that are available for their research and development. At the same time, the API providers will be able to get direct feedback for their users to understand how to further improve their APIs and make them more user-friendly.
