Cartagenhttp://cartagen.org/find/cambridge,-ma
Cartagen is an MIT Media lab project that renders OSM and other data in a HTML5 Canvas element dynamically on the client-side.
Geospatial.mit.edu
Integration of 3 research labs: •MIT Auto-ID Lab and Geonumerics Group•MIT Center for GRID Computing•MIT Intelligent Engineering Systems Lab
Working to advance geospatial capabilities and address the “Big Data Problem”
Their integrated mission is to deploy a next generation open source geospatial platform, which provides more granular analytic capabilities and faster processing for complex queries by utilizing parallel processing capabilities (grid computing, GPU, and multicore).
Ongoing projects:•Smart city and smart grid•Anti-counterfeiting in supply chains•Grid computing•Geonumerics research in multicore
A few more examples
•Reconstructing sea surface temperatures over the last 10,000 years
•Mapping industrial zones in Boston for potential redevelopment planning
•Development of a landslide hazard map for the island of Puerto Rico
•Cognitively inspired direction giving
•Office rent and labor availability in the Chicago Metro Area
•Energy consumption and smart growth in Massachusetts
•Mapping access to safe water in Ghana
Collaboration = key
Sharing
•Ideas
•Best practices
•Instructional materials
•Geoportal development
•Software
•Metadata
•Data
•and much more
