type

oral

Description

The focus is on the development and operations of Earth Observation-related data processing systems. The emphasis of the session is on the challenges of emerging information and web-based technology (e.g. Big Data, Cloud-based operations, internet of things, crowd sourcing) for acquisition, communication, processing, dissemination and archiving of data. The session also covers innovative methods for making data analysis ready, the extraction of information from these resulting large data sets (e.g. Machine learning and artificial intelligence) and methods for making the information available timely to decision makers. This session also includes the evolving data processing infrastructure like federated Cloud systems and digital twin.
