CfP: GIAN JNU Training Course on Spatial Data Analytics | 26-30 December

Call for Participation
GIAN JNU Training Course on Spatial Data Analytics
26-30 December 2016, JNU, New Delhi

Invited Faculty: Prof. Shashi Shekher, Department of Computer Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA

A course proposed under the MHRD GIAN programme to be offered by the School of Computer and System Sciences, JNU

Overview: Spatial data analytics is concerned with analysis of data describing geographic phenomena (e.g., climate) or instrumented physical environment (e.g., roads, building). It is important for societal applications in sustainable development, energy, mobility, public safety, public health, as well as emerging location-based services such as local advertisement and mobile commerce (e.g., Uber).

Objectives: This course introduces the fundamental ideas and research challenges underlying the emerging spatial data analytics systems for spatial database management, spatial data mining, and spatial network engines underlying location based services.

Teaching and Learning Methods: 5 days x 3 hours (2 hours of lecture + 1 hour of tutorial) per day

Learning Modules
Module 1: Introduction
Module 2: Spatial Query Languages
Module 3: Spatial Networks and Location Based Services
Module 4: Spatial Data Mining
Module 5: Emerging Trends, Research Challenges
