Innovation in big data analytics: from lab to market to standards
Filippo Dal Fiore, PhDM.I.T. Senseable City Lab
ITU Workshop on ICT Innovations
(Geneva, Switzerland, 20-21 March 2012)
Geneva, Switzerland, 20-21 March 2012 2
What the Senseable City Lab does
Data analyses and visualizations Smart objects
Geneva, Switzerland, 20-21 March 2012 3
What the Currentcity spin-off does
Data analytics applications
Our specialty within big data analytics: collective sensing
Aggregated and anonymized data from telecom and web 2.0 networks
is used as a proxy for human presence and activities, on an historical basis and in real-
time.
How we pursue innovation in the Lab
Industrial collaborations in which we “tweak” with proprietary data/sensorsReliance on open-source SW solutionsScalability and standardization issues not of immediate relevanceCreative, “keep options open” approach

How we pursue innovation in the spin-off
Emphasis on user acceptance, revenue generation, future scalabilityExplorative, “keep options open” approachDifficulty to spot markets make the standardization question prematureBenefiting from previous standards (i.e. GSM/UMTS), but only up to a certain point
Big data analytics: a Babel of data and operations on them
Multi-level value chain:data generation data storage data query & extraction data analysis data fruitionThe possibility for multiple combinations are “infinite”: standardization to be applied at multiple levels

Big issues in big data analytics
Data ownershipData securityData privacy Data formats & legacy data systemPatchwork of laws and regulations

The need for standardizationin big data
Data reside within different companies and is silo-related (i.e. finance/health-care/energy)Need for (individual/urban) data portfolios“Data banks” as gateways for new data markets (data transactions as monetary transactions)

In absence of standards, big data is managed in big pooled
datasets, but this lead to:
Increased vulnerabilily (i.e. hacker attacks)Proliferation of consent and data use agreements;Inflexible, stale and inaccurate datasets; (source: Helmore, 2012)
