Title

Big Data, Data Cubes and new platforms to exploit large-scale, multi-temporal EO Data

type

oral

Description

Focus is on the new cloud and GIS-inspired software platforms and new operational/business models that allow users to exploit more the large datasets provided by the new generation of EO sensors more effectively. Around the world, space agencies and companies have launched or are developing missions with new, highly calibrated instruments that produce orders of magnitude increases in data volume and data quality. Coupled with this increase in volume is the need for rapid processing for current and emerging diverse applications like weather forecasting, wildfire incident command, coral reef and fisheries management. These vast new data sources need to be transformed and delivered in an affordable manner when existing approaches do not scale. How do we archive these valuable resources, how do we make them accessible and usable, how do we extract maximum value? How do we deal with the increasing burden of IT security? How do we grow this evolving economic sector of information suppliers? This session is asking for contributions on the latest trends in “big data” as it applies to Earth observations and innovations from leading thinkers and players across the value chain, producers and archivists to users and value-added suppliers.
