X info presentation
This talk will present a
common foundation of X-informatics
in earth sciences with the links to US and internationally funded
efforts to build virtual observatories. As the information technology
reaches multiple scientific disciplines, scientists in several domains
tackle the problems of going from raw data/measurements to information
and knowledge, frequently denoted as informatics. The complexity of
these informatics problems requires inter-disciplinary expertise that
bridges boundaries across hardware, software and domain users (hence
referred to as X-informatics). This talk will provide several examples
of X-informatics solutions focusing on water quality, land surface
changes, and ground water modeling that are built by leveraging
pattern recognition, statistical analysis and data mining techniques,
as well as by integrating middleware components and software
engineering principles to deal with large size data and streaming
data.
