However the extremely wide range of often multidimensional environmental information made available at the global scale poses a great challenge to technologists and scientists to find extremely sophisticated yet effective ways to provide access to very relevant data patterns within such a vast and highly dynamic information flow. In the past years the domain of 3D scientific visualization has tried to provide a viable solution to operators willing to gain insight into the simulation results in a way that eases understanding of an evolving phenomenon. However 3D data visualization alone does not provide model and hypothesis-making and validation. In order to answer to this issue, in recent years research trends have brought to an effective combination of data mining and information visualization, often referred to as Visual Analytics (VA).
Within such an articulated and fast evolving scenario the Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) has identified the wide range of implications, spanning from the regulations, technological as well as scientific point of view, involved in the access and processing of geographically-related information to increase environmental security.
The event has gathered top scientists with different expertise from NATO Countries as well as from eligible NATO Partner or Mediterranean Dialogue countries. The workshop represented an important event where scientist from different disciplines discuss potential ways forward in the domain of reference.
Specifically the ARW was articulated across 5 days, focusing on a different specific horizontal issue of interest for the theme of environmental security.
Main topics
- The importance of harmonization of environmental data access and processing
- The role of GI-based technologies for a sustainable development and protection of the environment
- Advanced Interactive Visualization and Analysis for environmental security
- International, regional and national legal frameworks and constraints
- Political, economical and social factors in the protection of the environment
