Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the Korea Special Information Society, I am delighted to welcome delegates from all over the world to the 4G Seoul 2015. As you are mostly likely aware,
Korea represents one of the world's most dynamic economies as evidenced by the miracle of Han River. The geospatial industry and research and
development activities in this area is no exception. A lot of things are happening here, as you will see in this week. It is therefore quite appropriate to hold this international conference here in Seoul, the capital city of this dynamic country.
Geospatial technology is one of the core technologies that will bring out essential changes in our lives by fusing and integrating a multitude of mega-trend technologies such as Internet of Things, geo-cloud, geospatial big data,
to name a few. It is my firm belief that the open source technologies will play an important role in advancing the fusion of geospatial technology with other innovative technologies to fulfill the true potential of being spatially connected.
As a theme of this conference, toward diversity, 4G Big Bang from Seoul indicates many innovative ideas coming out of this conference will contribute to making our lives more safe, healthy, and happy.
The conference committee has put together a truly unique program that addresses the cutting edge in geospatial open source technologies. A series of keynote talks will be presented by internationally renowned experts. This will be accompanied by diverse sessions of oral presentations. There is a UN special session called
Open Source GIS in United Nations and Developing Countries. Posters have been organized to be easily accessible for viewing during sessions, coffee breaks, and lunch. In addition, there are many other
social activities that will bring all the participants together. This conference is the first and foremost platform for sharing and discussing your own research with other members of open source community. It is my sincere hope that this gathering will contribute to more
advances in open source technology as well as geospatial technology as well. Last but not least, I would like to thank the conference sponsors and the organizing committee members for their contributions to organization of this conference. I hope this conference will prove to be
an inspiring and truly transformative experience for all of you. Thank you very much.
