Our Goal: to transfer technology and knowledge
– Mobile technologies applyed to environment
– Intelligent agents
– Optimization and forecasting from data
– Bioinformatics, Biostatistics
G-TeC group: statisticians, physicists, mathematicians,
economists and several computer scientists.

4. Fighting with the Big Data
• Every day we need to deal with more and more data.
• For many years, new computers with more memory and higher
speed seem to be the solution for data growing (Elephant vendors).
• Many researching areas which was fighting with the Big Data:
Bioinformatics, Genoma data, DNA, RNA, proteins and, in general all
biological data have been required by computing monitors and
storing in large data bases in several laboratories and researching
centers along the world.
The future of genomics rests on the foundation of the Human Genome Project4

5. Fighting with the Big Data
• Each time an organization or an individual is not able
to deal with data, a big data problem is facing.
• Human Genoma Project managed with same
philosophy than modern Big Data: large data bases
distributed along the world with parallel processing
when available and suitable.
• Our experience: Sequence alignment and its
optimization with Dynamic Programming and
their heuristics.
• The amount of biological data is a Big Data base.
• Adding new sequences, searching and forecasting are
task very similar than those we face in every Big Data
problem.

Case of Use. Looking for a Fungus
• Application to infections in agricultural
crops when it is no possible to identify
the real fungus.
• The responsible needs to make
decisions about what to do, what
medicine apply, or procedure is better.
– A fragment of fungus DNA must be
sequenced in the lab.
– Then the scientist looks for it in molecular
data bases by means of sequence
searching (“DB homology search”).
– Some alignment algorithms (Blast, Fasta)
are executed to return the best matches.

25. Technology Transfer Opportunities
• A great opportunity for researchers working to transfer
technology, who can increase their efforts in
developing new techniques in optimization of:
– Monitoring data (Sensors, smartphones, …)
– Storing data (Cloud Computing, Amazon S3, EC2, Google
BigQuery, Tableau …)
– Cleaning, Integrating & Processing data (Data Curation at
Scale: The Data Tamer System, M. Stonebraker et al., CIDR 2013)
– Analysing data (R, SAS… but also Google, Amazon, eBay...)
– Encryption & searching on encrypted data
– Techniques of Data Mining (Machine Learning, Data
Clustering, Predictive Models, ...) which are compatible
with big data by complex analytics

• Amazon
• Twitter
• …
• They develop big projects with their big data,
but also many business get their data to make
analysis.
• Government data. Public data.

30. Open Data
“Open data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone –
subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.”
OpenDefinition.org -
“Open data is data that can be freely used,
reused and redistributed by anyone – subject
only, at most, to the requirement to attribute
and share alike.” OpenDefinition.org
Availability and Access: the data must be
available as a whole and at no more than a
reasonable reproduction cost, preferably by
downloading over the internet. The data
must also be available in a convenient and
modifiable form.
Reuse and Redistribution: the data must be
provided under terms that permit reuse and
redistribution including the intermixing with
other datasets. The data must be machine-
readable.
Universal Participation: everyone must be
able to use, reuse and redistribute – there
should be no discrimination against fields of
endeavour or against persons or groups. For
example, ‘non-commercial’ restrictions that
would prevent ‘commercial’ use, or
restrictions of use for certain purposes (e.g.
only in education), are not allowed.

32. Why Open Data by Open Knowledge Foundation
32

33. Open Data for Smartcity
• What a citizen can expect when living in a
city?
• Internet of the things
– Libraries
– Public transportation, trafic monitoring
– Pets, devices, cars, even people
• Intelligent agents
– Interacting without our control
– Credit cards control (BBVA case of use)
33

34. C-KAN
• The Comprehensive Knowledge Archive
Network (CKAN) is a web-based open source
data management system for the storage and
distribution of data, such as spreadsheets
and the contents of databases. It is inspired
by the package management capabilities
common to open source operating systems
like Linux.
34
• Its code base is maintained by the Open Knowledge
Foundation.
• The system is used both as a public platform on Datahub and
in various government data catalogues (UK's data.gov.uk, the
Dutch National Data Register, the United States government's
Data.gov and the Australian government's "Gov 2.0“)

36. Smartcity concept
• Large amount of people. Big cities.
– Search 7 thousand differences
• Smartcity business.
• The role of technology in the city: efficiency & security
• Normalization of the concept of Smartcity (May, 2014)
– Better quality of life. Security
– Sustainability
– Innovation opportunities
– Multidiscipline: social researchers, engineers, architects, …
• Relationships are in change. Based on mobile
technologies (smartphones, tablets, internet of the
things,…)
• Transverse developing projects: sensors and monitoring
devices, connectivity, platform, services in the cloud. 36

37. Smartcity concept
• Large amount of non structured information
• Machine learning, big data technologies, internet
of the things, intelligent systems are needed.
• Technology development as a service in all areas:
1. Structure:
– Environment, infrastructure (water, energy, material,
mobility, nature), built domain
2. Society:
– pubic space, functions, people
3. Data:
– information flows, performance
