ITC Department of Geo-information Processing – Core research topics

Smarter systems and applications built from semantically annotated data and computational resources.

Questions such as fitness-for-use, quality-of-service of both the data and the computational resources.

Methods of design and realization of systems The accommodation of new data sources New modes and models of user interaction to support in visual

decision-making Novel analytics to work on new data sources and data types Novel graphic data representations
