LarKC – the vision Web-scale ReasoningGiving up 100%correctness: Logics precision (soundness) trading quality for size often completeness is Semantic Web not needed sometimes even correctness is not needed IR not only logics! recall (completeness) See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjUbbl4cnAEIntroduction to Urban Computing in LarKC 3 Cefriel, 28th June 2011

The LarKC project LarKC – the Large Knowledge Collider – is a platform for massive distributed incomplete reasoning to remove the scalability barriers of existing reasoning systems http://www.larkc.eu/ for the Semantic Web Factsheet: 10M€ budget Technology pillars: 3.5 years (ending Sept 2011) >80 person years logic-based reasoning 16 partners, 3 use case information retrieval obtained in FP7 Call1 machine learning Outcomes: databases LarKC Platform on Sourceforge (now v 2.5) with probabilistic reasoning Apache license cognitively-inspired approaches >25 plug-ins for the platform high-performance computing Several demonstrators >90 publicationshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjUbbl4cnAEIntroduction to Urban Computing in LarKC 4 Cefriel, 28th June 2011

Urban ComputingThe integration of computing, sensing, and actuation technologies into everyday urban settings and lifestyles. [source IEEE Pervasive Computing,July-September 2007 (Vol. 6, No. 3)] Urban settings include streets, squares, pubs, shops, buses, and cafés - any space in the semipublic realms of our towns and cities Only in the last few years research paid attention to urban environments Pervasive computing is more and more applied Great success of Location-based Services and Location-based Social Networks with increasing amounts of data Urban settings are challenging for experimentation & deploymentIntroduction to Urban Computing in LarKC 5 Cefriel, 28th June 2011

LarKC Urban Computing Use Case Urban Computing to address cities challenges LarKC to elaborate urban data and provide solutionsIs public transportation where the people are? Which landmarks attract more people? Where are people concentrating? Where is traffic moving? Introduction to Urban Computing in LarKC 6 Cefriel, 28th June 2011

Semantic Technologies "Semantics" in the LarKC Urban Computing use caseSemantic Points of Interest (POIs) retrieval: Which are the relevant monuments? What events are scheduled tonight? What POIs should I visit?Operations Research: What is the most "desirable" path to my destination (shortest vs. quickest)? How should I schedule my city tour given my time constraints (TSP problem)?Machine Learning: What POIs could be interesting for me? Should I expect traffic on my way to…? Which "mavens" of this POI should I ask for advice?RDF/SPARQL/OWL based interoperability: integration and interoperability between different components through the adoption of Semantic Web technologies (enabled by the LarKC platform)Introduction to Urban Computing in LarKC 7 Cefriel, 28th June 2011
