IBM Launches New Advanced Analytics Center In New York, SmarterCities Scan social media project …IBM is also partnering with New York-based Tumblr to launch the Smarter Cities Scan, a social media project in crowdsourced research and open knowledge exchange. The initiative is using advanced IBM analytics technology to scan participants’ input to build a public blueprint for Smarter Cities. The output will be available to cities and grass-roots groups to use as a foundation for projects to make urban centers smarter via a Smarter Cities Open Model. IBM will also leverage this open model via the IBM Business Analytics Center in New York and the other centers around the world.

Visions of data - New Scientist As new ways of analysing the world around us are developed, new ways to visualise that information are needed. The recent Eurovis Symposium, held in Berlin, brought together international researchers with new ideas about how to make data easier to interpret and act on. This map shows a day of shipping traffic near Rotterdam, on the Netherlands coast. Software processes the continuous data ships feed to coastguards to show individual traces of each vessel. Darker traces signifiy slower speeds, and colour coding shows the density of traffic in different areas. The sea lanes in the area can be clearly seen. Traffic is densest in the bottom right, very close to Rotterdam harbour.
