The workshop will describe the state of the art and identify the areas of interest and key technologies that are needed to be developed in the future, regarding the use of Big Data techniques in the Air Traffic Management area.

It will have two distinct sections. The first one will consist of a set of short presentations describing the state of the art of Big Data research in ATM, whilst the second one will run a Panel that combines operational and technical experts.

The objective of the first session is to allow the workshop participants to recognize what has been achieved and which techniques are currently used in the ATM research domain. Three projects sponsored by the SESAR Exploratory Research programme will presents their research in this area: COPTRA , DART and bigData4ATM. A fourth presentation performed by the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), will provide additional insight into applied Big Data research.

The Panel aims to identify the areas of interest of key ATM actors, as well the technologies that are needed to be developed in the Big Data in the ATM domain. Amongst the panellists you will find representatives from CANSO, IATA, Airbus, Boeing and the Fraunhofer Institute. The panel will be moderated by CRIDA.
