Abstract:
Moving object monitoring is becoming essential for companies and organizations that need to manage thousands or even millions of commercial vehicles or vessels, detect dangerous situations (e.g., collisions or malfunctions) and optimize their behavior. It is a task that must be executed in real-time, re- porting any such situations or...
Abstract:
Analytics are in the core of many emerging applications and can greatly benefit from the abundance of data and the progress in the processing capabilities of modern hardware. Still, new challenges arise with the extreme complexity of deciding how to execute analytics workflows given the plethora of choices of various...
Abstract:
Computational systems and methods are often being used in biological research, including the understanding of cancer and the development of treatments. Simulations of tumor growth and its response to different drugs are of particular importance, but also challenging complexity. The main challenges are first to calibrate the simulators so as...
Abstract:
We present a system for online, incremental composite event recognition. In streaming environments, the usual case is for data to arrive with a (variable) delay from, and to be revised by, the underlying sources. We propose RTECinc, an incremental version of RTEC, a composite event recognition engine with formal, declarative...
Abstract:
We present a Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) framework for detecting and forecasting maritime events (e.g., illegal fishing) over streams of Big maritime Data. The architecture of the MSA framework relies on the following state-of-the-art components: (i) the Maritime Event Detector which uses data-driven distributed techniques deployed on a computer cluster...
