10491 Abstracts Collection -- Representation, Analysis and Visualization of Moving Objects

Abstract

From December 5 to December 10, 2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10491 ``Representation, Analysis and Visualization of Moving Objects\u27\u27 was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. The major goal of this seminar has been to bring together the diverse and fast growing, research community that is involved in developing better computational techniques for spatio-temporal object representation, data mining, and visualization massive amounts of moving object data. The participants included experts from fields such as computational geometry, data mining, visual analytics, GIS science, transportation science, urban planning and movement ecology. Most of the participants came from academic institutions, some from government agencies and industry. The seminar has led to a fruitful exchange of ideas between different disciplines, to the creation of new interdisciplinary collaborations, concrete plans for a data challenge in an upcoming conference, and to recommendations for future research directions. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper
