Co-Chair

In behalf of the local organizing committee of the 8th MGA we would like to welcome you to the Philippines. As the country is gearing towards

shifting its datum from local to geocentric, GNSS will play a very important role to its realization. Multi-GNSS will definitely provide the highest

accuracy for the establishment of geodetic controls throughout the country. The continuous densification of the Active Geodetic Stations is not only

intended for this purpose but also for many applications that requires positioning, navigation and timing. Moreover, as the country is often exposed

to risks from many hazards from natural disasters GNSS could also provide solutions for disaster reduction and mitigation. The MGA conference is

a meeting of minds where people from the academe, industry and government come together in order to provide solutions to problems that beset

many developing countries. Hence, we would like to hear from you and also share with you our GNSS experience.

Prof. Chris Rizos

Chairman

I am pleased to welcome you to the 8th Multi-GNSS Asia

conference in Manila, Philippines, on 12-14 November

2016. The organization of this annual conference is one

of the primary activities of the MGA Steering Committee,

supported by the Secretariat hosted by the Japanese

Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). MGA is

committed to promoting the GNSS technology in the

Asia-Pacific region across a range of application areas. In

addition to organizing this conference MGA encourages

research and industry activities that take advantage of the

unique conditions in Asia, where all global and regional

satellite navigation systems can be utilized. This year this

conference will once again showcase the rapid

developments in GNSS technology, applications and

services. It will provide an opportunity for participants

from governments, industry and academia to engage with

each other, and so ensure experiences and knowledge

are shared, thereby enhancing research capability and

commercial developments in the Asia-Pacific region.

Prof. Teruyuki Kato

Chairman

Welcome to the MGA 2016 conference in Manila, Philippines! The Multi GNSS

Asia (MGA) community was established as an international organization to

promote the research and industrial activities under the leadership of JAXA,

Japan, by which a demonstration campaign has been conducted through MGA.

One of the key activities of the MGA is this conference that has been held for

seven consecutive years in a number of Asian countries. The 8th conference is

held in the Philippines; a country where a multi-GNSS environment will be fully

utilized for rapid developments of the country, especially in its industry and

infrastructure among others. This event is set to provide an opportunity for

those with a keen interest in the further application of this multi-GNSS

environment to come together to discuss their shared ambitions of further

developing the technology towards a safer, and more secure environment for

all.

Scope of discussion at the Disaster Mitigation and Management session:

Natural disasters are one of the key social issues in the Asian and Oceanian

countries; earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, torrential rain and associated floods

and land-slides, strong winds, forest fires, drought. These disasters are

hindering factors to the prosperity of a region. This session focuses on how

multi-GNSS technologies can solve the problems related to natural disasters,

and make Asia and Oceania more resilient against them. Related presentations

on this topic are welcomed to serve as a basis of further discussion.
