OVERVIEW The first coordinated international campaign to collect and analyze GLONASS satellite data was held from October 19, 1998 through April 19, 1999. This International GLONASS Experiment (IGEX-98) was jointly sponsored by the International Association of Geodesy´s (IAG) Commission VIII for the International Coordination of Space Techniques for Geodesy and Geodynamics (CSTG), the Institute of Navigation´s (ION) GLONASS-GPS Interoperability Working Group, the International GPS Service (IGS), and the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS). The IGEX-98 Steering Committee, the ION and the IGS are organizing a joint workshop on September 13-14, 1999 to discuss the results of IGEX-98 and possible plans for the future. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the ION Satellite Division´s 12th International Technical Meeting GPS-99 in Nashville, Tennessee (U.S.). The IGEX workshop will be run as a separate event prior to the GPS-99 conference. It will be held in the Nashville Convention Center, and will be the forum for this year´s meeting of the ION GLONASS-GPS Interoperability Working Group (GGIWG). A separate registration fee will be required for all attendees of the workshop as indicated below. (Workshop attendees who also wish to attend ION´s GPS-99 Technical Meeting after the workshop ends will be required to pay the standard conference registration fee.) The workshop will be an opportunity for participants to present and compare their findings, observations, and analyses resulting from the IGEX campaign. It will be a time to assess whether or not the objectives of the experiment were met and to discuss future plans for using and supporting GLONASS. Anyone is welcome to attend and participate. FINAL PROGRAM The two-day workshop will consist of oral presentations, poster papers and panel discussions. Abstracts for the papers can be found on the ION IGEX web site at http://www.ion.org/workgroup.html. The posters will be displayed for the entire two days. A dinner buffet with live music is planned on Monday evening and is included as part of the registration fee.
