LandSAGE is a project to provide collaborative decision support tools for monitoring and mitigation of landslides and floods in Southeast Asia. The central technology for the project is the CyberCANOE which is a large, high-resolutions, tiled-display wall driven by a middleware called SAGE3. LandSAGE is funded by the Asi@Connect project which is co-funded by the European Union.
The objective of the “Final Workshop on LandSAGE4” was to provide a forum for the LandSAGE4 leadership, the new partners and special guests to review the project achievements, to present the new CyberCANOE installations, to demonstrate the latest SAGE3 and LandSAGE software developments, and to brainstorm on the future direction of the project.
