The 5th OpenSky Workshop
Since its launch in 2013, the OpenSky Network has quickly evolved to a large-scale air traffic control data collection and sharing platform. With now more than 700 sensors operated by volunteers across the globe and more than 2000 users, the OpenSky Network is today greatly contributing towards the vision of a more efficient, secure and reliable operation of the airspace by providing open accessibility of air traffic control data to the public. Following the successful workshops in the last years, we are proud to announce the fifth instance of the OpenSky workshop. This two-day event will take place in Kaiserslautern (Germany) in November 2017. The event is open to all contributors of the network (sensor operators, users, system developers and administrators, and researchers) as well as to any interested party that wishes to get involved to the OpenSky Network in the future. The workshop will serve as a forum to discuss new ideas, the network itself, and research activities around the OpenSky Network. Participants are invited to actively contribute to the program by presenting their projects at the workshop. As in the last years, there will be many opportunities to get to know the community during the social activities around the workshop program.
