ICT 16.a-i: Research/innovation in Big Data

Collaborative projects

New data structures, e.g., memory hierarchy conscious data

structures, energy conscious data structures,. . .

New algorithms, e.g., energy conscious algorithms, parallelism

(multi/many cores), streaming analytics, data curation, predictions,

real time stream analysis,. . .

Visualization techniques




Strict requirements

Availability for testing and validation of extremely large and

realistically complex European data sets

Availability of populations for testing (usability, visualization)




Strict requirements

Proposals would typically include at least one European industrial or

commercial partner with big-data related problems

Consortia are expected to make best possible use of large volumes

of open data for the EU Open Data portal (open-data.europa.eu)

and/or other European sources, like Copernicus

A data management plan is necessary (Which datasets?, How big

are they now and how fast do they grow?, When must be available?

From whom?)

Proposals will also need to specify who is going to test and how are

going to be tested
