Collaboration is a rich source of innovation and growth and it is the goal of the Collaborative European Research Conference (CERC 2016) to foster collaboration among friends and colleagues across disciplines and nations within Europe. CERC emerged from a long-standing cooperation between the Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Germany. CERC has grown to include more well-established partners in Germany (Hochschule Karlsruhe and Fernuniversität Hagen), United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Italy, and many more. CERC is truly interdisciplinary, bringing together new and experienced researchers from science, engineering, business, humanities, and the arts. At CERC researchers not only present their findings as published in their research papers. They are also challenged to collaboratively work out joint aspects of their research during conference sessions and informal social events and gatherings. To organize such an event involves the hard work of a number of people. Thanks go to the international program committee and my fellow program chairs, particularly to Prof Dr Udo Bleimann and Prof Dr Ingo Stengel for organizing the conference and the review process. Dr Robert Loew put a great effort into preparing the conference programme and proceedings. Prof Udo Bleimann was invaluable for local organization. Thanks also to Dr Brendan Murphy and Tim Horgan for supporting CERC. Dr Paul Walsh General Conference & Programme Co-Chair, CERC2016 Cork, September 2016 11 Keynote Standards or Excellence in Project Management ? Prof. Dr. Nino Grau Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen - University of Applied Sciences, Germany e-mail: [email protected] How do standards for project management support project managers in their everyday work? Are they critical success factors or do they hinder project manager`s creativity on the way to excellence in project management? Let us have a look on standards like ISO 21 500 and on IPMA PEM Project Excellence Modell. Short CV Prof. Dr. Nino Grau He holds degrees in computer science (University of Erlangen) and industrial engineering (Technical University Munich) and received his doctorate with a thesis about decision making in teams. His main area of interest is project and process management. He was a member of the board

    European Data Grant agreement number: RI-283304 D5.1.1: Technology Appraisal Report Author(s) Claudio Cacciari, CINECA Status Final Version v.1.0 Date 27/07/2012 Abstract: EUDAT is a project in which user communities play a prominent role in defining the collaborative data infrastructure (CDI) and are actively involved in the requirements gathering and in building and shaping the common data services which are deployed and operated at the service provider partner sites. This process is the backbone of EUDAT which fosters the assurance that EUDAT delivers services which are needed and actively used by the user communities and beyond. Within the project a technology appraisal is performed with the purpose to identify and utilise available technologies and tools to implement the required services and to identify gaps and market failures that should be addressed within the joint research activities. The present document reports about the work done in accordance with the project plan and it outlines the achievements gained by the technology appraisal task during the first ten project months.

Caruso 16 –56122–Pisa,Italy Abstract The open science movement is promising to revolutionise the way science is conducted with the goal to make it more fair, solid and democratic. This rev- olution is destined to remain just a wish if it is not supported by changes in culture and practices as well as in enabling technologies. This paper describes the D4Science offerings to enact open science-friendly Virtual Research Envi- ronments. In particular, the paper describes how complete solutions suitable for realising open science practices can be achieved by integrating a social networking collaborative environment with a shared workspace, an open data analytics platform, and a catalogue enabling to effectively find, access and reuse every research artefact.

  • Big Data in Geoinformatics
    GIS Karimi Techniques and Technologies Big Data in Geoinformatics Big data has always been a major challenge in geoinformatics as geospatial data come in various types and formats, new geospatial data are acquired very fast, and geospatial Big Data databases are inherently very large. And while there have been advances in hardware and software for handling big data, they often fall short of handling geospatial big data efficiently and effectively. Big Data: Techniques and Technologies in Techniques and Technologies Geoinformatics tackles these challenges head on, integrating coverage of techniques and technologies for storing, managing, and computing geospatial big data. in Geoinformatics Providing a perspective based on analysis of time, applications, and resources, this book familiarizes readers with geospatial applications that fall under the category of big data. It explores new trends in geospatial data collection, such as geo- BIG DATA crowdsourcing and advanced data collection technologies such as LiDAR point clouds. The book features a range of topics on big data techniques and technologies in geoinformatics including distributed computing, geospatial data analytics, social media, and volunteered geographic information. Features Edited by • Explains the challenges and issues of big data in geoinformatics applications • Discusses and analyzes the techniques, technologies, and tools for storing, Hassan A.
