Abstract

A flood of data about moving objects is becoming available, due to the automated collection of telecom data from mobile phones and other location-aware devices, from sensor networks, from ubiquitous computing.

The goal of the GeoPKDD project is to develop theory, techniques and systems for geographic knowledge discovery, based on new privacy-preserving methods for extracting knowledge from large amounts of raw data referenced in space and time.

We aim at devising data warehousing and data mining methods for trajectories of moving objects; such methods will be designed to preserve the privacy of the source sensitive data.

Obtaining the potential benefits by means of a trustable technology, designed to protect individual privacy, is a highly challenging goal; if fulfilled, it would enable a wider social acceptance of many new services of public utility that find in geographic knowledge a key driver – e.g., in sustainable mobility, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and risk management.

Highlights

GeoPKDD at the European Parliament

The GeoPKDD has been presented during the Exhibition Science beyond Fiction on 20-21 April, 2010 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, in the Data Deluge and Privacy stand.
