EarthBiAs2017 is organised by the Department of Environment and the Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering of the University of the Aegean, in collaboration with Global Network for Environmental Science and Technology (GNEST). It is an international Summer School on Big Data Analysis in Earth Sciences and will be held in Rhodes from 28th of August to 1st of September 2017,
as a satellite event of CEST2017. The individual sections derived from planning lectures, workshops and round tables, are related to big data systems, to flexible and dynamic structures which can meet future requirements, to sensors and software, to statistical methods and to their implementation for the analysis and simulation of environmental systems. Emphasis shall be given to practical applications and ICT tools that aid analysts towards gaining useful knowledge of their data. Participants will join forces in order to implement a real-world big data analysis project, in order to strengthen their skills. The topics covered by the Summer School are:
• Understanding the specific characteristics of Big Data
• Database Systems
• Machine Learning and AI
• Data and Web Mining
• Mathematical models for data mining
• Data management and analysis
• New technologies and softwares
• Application of all the above in simulation examples of different environmental systems
Application form and registration will be available shortly. In case you wish to express your interest you can contact Dr Charalampos Alexopoulos ([email protected]) or Dr Eleftheria Klontza ([email protected]).
