dbjapanの皆様 神戸大の寺田です． お世話になっております． 名古屋大学の間瀬先生より，下記のワークショップの参加募集配布依頼をいただきま したので，お送りさせていただきます． 大量データの取り扱いや可視化に関するワークショップで， ポジションペーパを出しても良いし，ただの聴衆としての参加もよいようです． よろしくお願いいたします． ----- Call for Participation First International Workshop on Massive Datasets at the International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces November 15, 2007 Nagoya, Japan http://www.merl.com/wmd http://www.acm.org/icmi/2007/ Registration open here: http://www.acm.org/icmi/2007/ Executive Summary This workshop is intended to encourage work and discussion on the topic of analysis, visualization, and manipulation of long-term data sets recorded from large-scale sensor networks. Specifically, this inaugural workshop focuses on a dataset released by MERL comprised of one year of data from 215 motion sensors that observe the public spaces of our 3000 square meter research facility. The Workshop will follow a hybridized format. There will be presentations by researchers who have already performed analysis on the dataset. We will run a mini-tutorial session aimed at helping attendees gain familiarity with the dataset. Finally there will be an open discussion about issues facing the community, including ways to improve the quality and utility of this and similar datasets. All are welcome. Attendees wishing to have a more formal record of their involvement may submit a two page position paper up until November 12th. Please see the workshop web page for details: http://www.merl.com/wmd We encourage those interested in these topics to also attend the ICMI keynote address by Dr. Yuri A Ivanov "Interfacing Life: A year in the life of a research lab" on November 12th at 10AM in the Nagoya Noh Theater. That talk will present the big ideas of the project, while this workshop and tutorial will be focused on the details. Vision Are the tools we use to understand our data scalable to the tens of millions of records, huge spans of time, minute details of behavior, and large geographic extent that future sensor networks will generate? In the future buildings will be studded with sensors. Every movement will generate a few bits of data. Every fluctuation in temperature will be recorded. Every deviation in lighting will be noticed. These large and complex datasets will challenge the tools we use today. Looking into the future of residential and office buildings Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL) has been collecting motion sensor data from a network of over 200 sensors for a year. The data is the residual trace of year in the life of a research laboratory. It contains interesting spatio-temporal structure ranging all the way from the seconds of individuals walking down hallways, the minutes in lobbies chatting with colleagues, the hours of dozens of people attending talks and meetings, the days and weeks that drive the patterns of life, to the months and seasons with their ebb and flow of visiting employees. The dataset contains well over 30 million raw motion records, spanning a calendar year and two floors of our research laboratory. As such it presents a significant challenge for behavior analysis, search, manipulation and visualization of the data. We have also prepared accompanying analytics such as partial tracks and behavior detections, as well as map data and anonymous calendar data marking the pattern of meetings, vacations and holidays. MERL has released this data set to the community. We invite you to download the data and apply your analytic, visualization, and interface tools. The goal of the workshop is to understand the state of the art in the context of the huge, detailed dataset of the near future. Organizers Christopher R. Wren Yuri A.
