Presentation by a high level industry partner on behalf of BDV PPP during the opening session on Day 1

The Tenth Conference on Image Information Mining will be held at the Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania from 28 to 30 October 2015. Earth Observation, geosciences, multimedia location awareness, tagging, spatial context analysis and related fields share similar challenges to search, discover and understand the content of huge open access spatial data sets. The past decade has experienced an outbreak of new concepts and methodologies to capture, analyze and understand the geospatial information thus allowing the end users applications to evolve to a next generation of joint Earth Observation - Multimedia information retrieval systems. This year's IIM Conference aims to bring together specialists/contributions from these ever evolving domains and to bridge the gap between EO and Multimedia, to the common benefit of both communities.

The BYTE project is exploring scientific and industrial organizations in Europe to gain a greater understanding of the positive and negative externalities associated with Big Data. This month the BYTE project will host a worksop on “Exploring the Positive and Negative Impacts of Big Data Across Sectors”. In this workshop the results of this research will be presented including:

- A series of case studies and focus groups on Big Data in various sectors such Smart cities (Siemens) and Energy (Statoil).

- The results of a horizontal analysis to identify the positive and negative impacts, practices, barriers or outcomes of Big Data projects that are shared across different case study sectors

- Evaluation of societal impacts as evidenced within the different disciplines using the case studies and the horizontal analysis as a backdrop

The workshop will be held in Dublin, Ireland on 14 October 2014 from 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM at the following venue:

The goal of the event is to socialize the activities carried out in the area of Privacy, Security & Trust by the EIT Digital and promote the Data Economy, which is of ever-increasing importance in the era of digitalisation and pervasive usage of computing machines and smart devices in the cyberspace, for business, public administration and customers. Indeed, a growing availability of appropriately leveraged open data is bringing us into the Data Economy, a fil rouge for all the EIT Digital activities.
