<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to invite submissions (orals and/or posters) to Symposium G05 - Multi-Signal Positioning, Remote Sensing and Applications – to take place during the IUGG General Assembly in Montreal (July 8-18, 2019),
<a href="http://iugg2019montreal.com/">http://iugg2019montreal.com/</a>). This Symposium is one of two symposia organized by IAG Commission 4.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Abstract deadline is February 18th (<a href="http://iugg2019montreal.com/abstract-submission.html">http://iugg2019montreal.com/abstract-submission.html</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Positioning applications are, today, as diverse as they are vast. They can be done using just a single signal from a single system but more often they are done merging multiple signals from distinct systems, including, at times, signals
of opportunity. Among the applications are the ones that perform remote sensing of the environment from where signals propagate, either below, near or above the Earth’s surface, including its atmospheric layers, either land-based, airborne or from space. This
symposium focuses on theoretical and practical advancements as well as innovative applications and architectures for multi-signal positioning, remote sensing and applications. We invite the submission of papers that address, navigation, timing and guidance
systems for autonomous vehicles, intelligent transport systems, personal mobility, and other safety and liability critical applications. Indoor positioning systems and sensors and solutions for positioning in GNSS difficult environments. Alternative positioning
technologies and techniques including collaborative positioning and innovative integration architectures. Positioning using low-cost sensors including GNSS and smartphone sensors, geospatial mapping and engineering, ranging from construction work, geotechnical
and structural health monitoring, mining, to natural phenomena such as landslides and ground subsidence. Geodetic applications and high-precision GNSS technologies and applications and the use of multi-signals stemming from modernized signals and issues and
opportunities coming from multi-constellation signals. In delivering multi-sensor systems numerous challenges emerge. This symposium welcomes any topic that addresses these challenges.<o:p></o:p></p>
