BDMobiLog 2014 - Workshop on Big Data in Mobility and Logstics (BDMobiLog 2014)

As part of the INFORMATIK 2014 the workshop “Big Data in Mobility and Logistics (BDMobiLog 2014)” takes place on September 22, 2014 in Stuttgart.
The focus of BDMobiLog 2014 will be on the potential of Big Data in mobility and logistics domain.
Mobility and logistics are closely linked to each other. On one hand, traffic flows and traffic density have a strong influence on the efficiency of logistic processes (especially when it comes to transportation). On the other hand, the trend to e-mobility poses new challenges to the planning processes, e.g. the consideration of battery capacity during planning. Together with other factors, this leads to a rising complexity of logistic processes and logistic networks, as well as a usually big amount of data to be handled. That is why there is already a growing amount of IT-based applications, which support and automate different steps of the logistic processes. Using the right analytic approaches Big Data can elevate these applications to a new level, improve the planning processes, and enable precise and well-founded decisions.
That’s why this workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners researching or applying Big Data technologies in mobility and logistics.
