The adoption and integration of information
technologies in practice and academia has had
significant impact on all aspects of the field
of geotechnical engineering including field
characterization, laboratory characterization,
numerical simulation, data management,
subsurface visualization and geotechnical
education. The objectives of the 2006 Geo-
Congress are to (a) showcase recent advancements
in all geo-applications as a result of
the adoption of information technologies; (b)
debate future opportunities for the geo-industry
that can result from even more widespread
adoption of information technologies; and (c)
bring together participants from a broad range |
of groups within the geo-community including
those working in areas reflected in the Geo-
Institute technical committees, those from
technical committees of other organizations
who work at the intersection of information
technology and geotechnical engineering,
those involved in advancing the use of information
technology in geotechnical practice,
those involved in geotechnical information
research and education, as well as vendors of
equipment, instrumentation, hardware and
software who facilitate the generation, capture,
management, simulation, analysis and visualization
of geotechnical information. |
