Dear colleagues,

The IUGG XXIV General Assembly will be held in Perugia, Italy, July 2-13, 
2007 (check the website for details http://www.iugg2007perugia.it/). I like 
to draw your attention to the following technical session (within IAG GS004: 
Positioning and Applications):

PPP vs DGNSS: Competition or Complementary?

While differential GNSS (DGNSS) has become a widely used positioning 
technology, Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is on its way gaining increased 
interests within the GNSS community in recent years. With continuous 
improvements in accuracy/availability of precise orbit and clock products 
and the development of new error mitigation and data processing 
methodologies, PPP is going to become an efficient alternative to current 
DGNSS to many applications. Either seen as a competition or complementary, 
we need to investigate their roles in the development of next generation 
real-time kinematic (RTK) systems. This session is seeking contributions to 
identify and address important issues on the subject from methodology 
development to case applications, and discuss the potential and challenge in 
both PPP and DGNSS.

Please consider submitting a paper to the session. The deadline for abstract 
submission is: February 28, 2007

Regards,

Yang
