Title
Mobility, Data Mining and Privacy
Abstract
The technologies of mobile communications and ubiquitous computing pervade
our society, and wireless networks sense the movement of people and
vehicles, generating large volumes of mobility data. This is a scenario of
great opportunities and risks: on one side, mining this data can produce
useful knowledge, supporting sustainable mobility and intelligent
transportation systems; on the other side, individual privacy is at risk, as
the mobility data contain sensitive personal information. A new
multidisciplinary research area is emerging at this crossroads of mobility,
data mining, and privacy.
This talk briefly assesses this research frontier from a computer science
perspective, and illustrates the results of a European-wide research project
called GeoPKDD, Geographic Privacy-Aware Knowledge Discovery and Delivery,
www.geopkdd.eu, funded by the EU Commission under the FET-Open program.
Particular attention will be placed upon privacy-aware geographic knowledge
discovery and spatio-temporal data mining from mobility data generated by
wireless networks, mobile technologies and ubiquitous computing.
Biography
Franco Turini was born in 1949 in Italy. He graduated in Computer Science
(Laurea in Scienze dell' Informazione) summa cum laude in 1973, from the
University of Pisa. He is currently a full professor in the Department of
Computer Science of the University of Pisa. In 78/80 he has been a visiting
scientist of the Carnegie-Mellon University (Pittsburgh) and of the IBM
Research Center S. Jose, afterwards. In 92/93 he has been visiting professor
at the University of Utah. His research interests include programming
languages design, implementation, and formal semantics, knowledge
representation and knowledge discovery.
Franco Turini's results have been
published in more than 90 international publications. He edited three
scientific books: one printed by MIT Press and two by Springer-Verlag. He
coordinated national and international projects/subprojects (4 European
ones, 1 funded National Research Council, 1 funded by the ministry of
research) and has been an active participant in many more ones. He is one of
the principal investigators of the research lab KDDLAB
(http://www-kdd.isti.cnr.it/) formed by researchers of the Computer Science
Department of the University of Pisa and researchers of institute ISTI of
the National Research Council in Pisa. The laboratory is organizing the
International Conference on Data Mining, one of the most prestigious of the
area, which will take place in Pisa in December 2008 and Franco Turini is
acting as one of the two General Chairpersons.
