Abstract
Nowadays, sensing technologies and large-scale computing infrastructures have produced a variety of big data in urban spaces, e.g. human mobility, air quality, traffic patterns, and geographical data. The big data implies rich knowledge about a city and can help tackle these challenges when used correctly. We believe this is the right time to research on holistic urban big data which has been made possible due to recent advances in communication technologies that allow wireless connection and untethered data exchange among vast urban sensing and computing devices, as well as advanced data and computing science that provides us necessary methods and computing power to understand, model, and reason the urban data and people. In this talk, we will give some properties for processing urban big data and discuss how the collaborative computing bridges the data and computation in the cyberspace and the environment, systems, people and things in the physical world.
