Title

Tools and Technology in Support of Integrated Applications

Description

The session will focus on specific systems, tools and technology in support of integrated applications by addressing the various issues associated with applications development, the kind of data to be collected, how are data collected and how the data are integrated and distributed to address key user needs. Emerging technologies, such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and other advanced technologies are rapidly revolutionizing and reshaping infrastructure and global-local economies. Leveraging these new transformative developments and understanding their disruptive potential with respect to technology, shifting demographics and global connectivity is essential for space technologies. Possible topics include: ground-truthing of data collected from space platforms; innovative, low-cost tools for data distribution and access that focus on the space segment; new ways of distributing integrated data products; data fusion and visualization tools; managing integrated applications programmes and public outreach efforts to connect the public to these applications.
