Issue N 7 December 2022
The seventh issue of the MASTER newsletter is ready!
Welcome to the 7th issue of the MASTER newsletter!
With the easing of COVID related restrictions we can finally travel to our hosting institutions! During the last 8 months we executed 15 secondments to our partners that include Thira, Federal University of Ceara’, Pontifical University of Rio de Janeiro, Dalhousie and CNR. In this newsletter we briefly report about the activities carried out during these secondments.
We also report about two articles that partners published during the period, one of them, from our partners UFSC and CNR, winning a demo award.
We also restarted our events and we are so proud to report about the Second MASTER workshop held in Venice hosted by our colleague Dr. Alessandra Raffaeta’ of University Ca’ Foscari! The event entitled “MASTER meets Mobility Industries” has been an amazing opportunity to meet the non academic world and strengthen our collaborations with them!
We also held our First Summer school called “ Data Science for Mobility ‘’ in the stunning Santorini island. The event was originally planned in April 2020 and then postponed due to the pandemic.
The DSM summer school has been a n exceptional success since the whole event has been greatly appreciated by our participants. The event has been a unique opportunity to train young scientists in the mobility topic.
In conjunction with the summer school, we also held a mid term meeting among the MASTER european partners, with the objective of discussing the next secondments.
Issue N 6 March 2022
The sixth issue of the MASTER newsletter is ready!
We are very happy that the MASTER project is officially restarting on January 2nd, 2022 after 8 months of formal suspension due to the pandemic restrictions. Even under a formal interruption, the dissemination activities of MASTER went on since we published papers and we also organised the Dagstuhl Seminar on Mobility and Ethics.
In this issue, we report on three articles recently published by our partners. The first two papers are proposing methods to store and compare multiple aspects trajectories in an efficient way. A third paper is on the conceptual modeling of dependency rules in multiple aspects trajectories and extending the MASTER model with rules to express dependency between attributes.
Issue N 5 November 2020
The fifth issue of the MASTER newsletter is ready!
It is undoubted that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the lives of all of us and the MASTER activities in particular.
Nevertheless, the research and dissemination activities related to the project are continuing as much as possible in remote mode.
This issue of the newsletter does not report any secondment but we focus on the projects we are hosting – this month EV-CHIP – and published MASTER papers, as well as events where we have been involved.
Issue N 4 April 2020.
The issue N 4 of the MASTER newsletter has been published!
In this issue, a choice of interesting research highlights from the project:
– Predicting Fishing Effort and Catch in the Northern Adriatic Sea
– Uncovering hidden concepts from AIS data
– Prospective Data Model and Distributed Query Processing
Secondments experience
Past and next events, included the First MASTER workshop
Issue N.3 September 2019
The issue N 3 of the MASTER newsletter has been published! You can download it here.
In this issue, a contribution of Prof. Yannnis Theodoridis from University of Piraeus Research Center.
In this issue we also meet the SoBigData project, the European Research Infrastructure for Big Data and Social Mining.
You can also find reports, impressions and pictures from our secondees.
We also introduce a short summary of two research papers recently published:“Towards Semantic-Aware Multiple-Aspect Trajectory Similarity Measuring” and “A network abstraction model for vessel trajectory analysis and anomaly detection” .
Furthermore, you can find a section with past and future events of the project.
Issue N.2 March 2019
The issue N 2 of the MASTER newsletter has been published! You can download it here.
In this issue you can find an interview with our “coach”, the project adviser Simona Losmanova from the REA agency of the European Commission.
You can also find reports, impressions and pictures from our secondees.
We also introduce a short summary of two research papers recently published: the VISTA platform for annotating trajectories and the MASTER conceptual model for multiple aspects trajectories.
In this first issue we introduce the project, the consortium and report about our kick off event held the last March 2018.
We are very happy and proud that our Independent Ethical Advisor Prof. Bettina Berendt accepted our invitation to prepare a very stimulating article expressing her vision about the need of ethical considerations in data science for holistic trajectories. Prof. Berendt shares her thoughts on two case studies: the well known New York taxi dataset and the controversial topic of the analysis of AIS traces for the detection of search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea, linked to the migration phenomena.
