General workplan

We adopted an approach – illustrated in the adjacent figure – centred on three main research activities, each corresponding to one of the three components that constitute such process:

• the privacy-aware trajectory warehouse,
• the privacy-aware spatio-temporal data mining methods, and
• the geographic knowledge interpretation and delivery.

The work in these research parts will be completed by other two orthogonal activities:

• Application demonstrators, aimed at integrating the achievements in the three core research activities into a coherent framework capable of demonstrating the usefulness of the GeoPKDD process in constructing two application demonstrators in selected societal and industrial domains;
• Harmonization and dissemination, aimed at making known the potential societal and economic impact of GeoPKDD, and at promoting the harmonization with European and national privacy regulations and the possible collaboration with privacy authorities.

The above-mentioned parts will be accompanied by the project management activity, aimed at ensuring governance within the project and management of knowledge, both internal and external to the project, and monitoring the project progress and its coherence with desired objectives.
