G11A:
Big Data and Advanced Geocomputations

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 6212

Session Description:
Computational science and engineering have greatly advanced in recent years with the rapidly changing High-Performance Computing and Communication (HPC) technologies. With scientific data sizes generally increasing faster than computational power, new and sophisticated computational strategies are warranted.  As terabyte (TB) and larger data files are common in several areas of geoscience, advanced powerful computers and computer clusters are only part of the solution and more intelligent approaches are needed.

 This session is intended to bring together all those interested in big geospatial data challenges including diversity and complexity, distributed data storage and parallel processing, multi-resolution analysis and synthesis, semantic and syntactic data fusion, and advanced visualization. New ideas and suggestions in advanced geocomputations, grid and cloud computing, spatial data analytics, uncertainty quantification and web services are of particular importance. Contributions to any of these and related topics are invited for oral and/or poster presentation.
