This is a first step to setup the platform to share your contribution, idea and others to each other who are interested in the mission of Global Earth Observation System, (GEOS) including the disasters, weather, health, water, climate, ecosystem, agriculture, energy, weather and biodiversity. There are 4 sessions attract about 160 participants to join this conference. To dates, the ICEO&SI 2011 is going smoothly. In here, I would like to give my appreciation to all of keynote speakers, conveners and especially yours participants who let this conference successful. Anyway, the success in completion of the ICEO&SI 2011 conference is the result of the cooperation, confidence, and endurance of many people. Except for thanking to TGEO president Dr. Y.A. Liou, J. K.
