IBM Faculty Awards 2013
2013 - DELLA VALLE EMANUELE
For 2013, the prestigious IBM Faculty Award was awarded to Emanuele Della Valle for "City Data Fusion: A Big Data Infrastructure to Sense the Pulse of a City in Real- Time"
"City Data Fusion: A Big Data Infrastructure to Sense the Pulse of a City in Real- Time"
Streams of information flow through our cities thanks to their progressive instrumentation with diverse sensors, a wide adoption of smart phones and social networks, and a growing open release of datasets. This research investigates the possibility to feel the pulse of our cities in real-time by fusing and making sense of all those information flows. The expected result is a Big Data infrastructure that exploits: semantic technologies, streaming databases, visual analytics, and crowd-sourcing techniques whose incentives are designed for urban environment and life styles. Early deployments for city scale events offer insights on the kind of services such infrastructure will enable.
