1 Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale grassusersconference sept. universita' degli studi di trento dipartimento di ingegneria civile e ambientale italy - trento Open Source Free Software GIS GRASS users conference 2002 Trento, Italy, September 2002

2 Open Source Free Software GIS GRASS users conference 2002 This conference is the result of the joint effort of many GRASS developers and users all over the world to foster closer relations and provide opportunities for greater interactions among the open GIS and GRASS communities. The aim of the conference is twofold: the exchange of experiences between Open Source and Free Software GIS and GRASS users and developers and the possibility for the potential users to access first-hand information and GRASS capability demonstration, especially for users from developing countries. The conference is organized by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and CUDAM, Center for advanced studies on hydrogeological risk in mountain areas, of the University of Trento with the help of an Organizing Committee including some of the most prominent GIS/GRASS experts around the world. The papers included in the proceedings have been accepted on the basis of the pertinence with the theme of the conference. All the accepted papers have been included in the proceedings CD Rom as submitted by the authors. A selection of papers will be published on TGIS (Transactions in GIS). Local Organizing Committee Battista Benciolini, Marco Ciolli, Paolo Zatelli [email protected] Web: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and CUDAM, Center for advanced studies on hydrogeological risk in mountain areas University of Trento via Mesiano, Trento ITALY Organising secretariat Via Zell Cognola di Trento, ITALY phone fax [email protected] The Local Organizing Committee thanks Alfonso Vitti for his valuable support to the conference organization and for the graphical logo. 2 Open Source Free Software GIS - GRASS users conference Trento, Italy, September 2002
