Feedback from participants

Dear all,
We would like to know more about what you think about the first MODAP/MOVE summer school. Please send your positive or negative comments by posting messages to this forum, including suggestions to improve the next summer school. Note that we will organize the second summmer school in 2012 (most probably in Rhodes again), and you are most wellcome to contribute to the organization of the next summer school by proposing lectures, tutors, organizing panels etc.
We are looking forward to receive your posts
best regards

Feedback + application ideas

This very nice multidisciplinary summer school gave a comprehensive overview of most of the current work on mobility, data mining and privacy. I would also like to thank the organizers for the stunning venue. The only criticism I've heard of is that the program was a bit too dense with respect to the unique environment we were in. ; )

Because of my interest in hybrid systems and applications, I am eager to know how the various topics presented can be applied to application domains different from traffic and mobility analysis. Let's think of a Web 2.0 environment that allows users to plan, upload (by navlog), share, search and download trajectories for leisure and tourism. Privacy can be realized by restricting location data visibility by social and physical (e.g. only on device) constraints. Certain trajectory distance functions (and parameters) of those presented might be preferable to support users in finding similar routes. The indices presented will improve this search drastically. Data mining techniques can be applied in order to:
- improve social interaction
- generate structured high-accuracy tourist information
- extract basic geographic data, ranging from novel roads and POIs, to advanced properties of roads, based on sensor data
I am interested in any form of collaboration on these issues.

Best regards,
Joris Maervoet
