First DoSSIER Summer School
Last week the 1st DoSSIER summer school was held after two years from the start of the project in the beautiful city of Olympiada in Greece. DoSSIER is an EU Horizon 2020 ITN/ETN project on Domain Specific Systems for Information Extraction and Retrieval which is being implemented via 15 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) projects led by 15 PhD students across 4 EU states in addition to the UK. During the summer school there had been more than 10 lectures prepared by DoSSIER members and invited lecturers which covered a variety of scientific topics ranging from technical aspects of conducting research in IR to turning research into commercial products as well as legal bases and licensing of software outputs. To name a few lectures, we can refer to Norbert Fuhr’s talk on how to make sure that validity and reproducibility in IR experiments are observed. On the topic of Reproducible in IR, Andreas Rauber had centered his lecture on reproducibility, its importance and challenges for Evolving Document Corpora. On the topic of the link between industry and research there were also lectures such as designing enterprise search at Spinque. The lecturers present at the summer school are listed below as well. Research Studios Austria is one of the project leaders in the DoSSIER project and hosts one of the projects being carried out by Yasin Ghafourian, our PhD student who is a member of the Data Science studio working on relevance models based on the knowledge gap for this project. Dr. Stefan Gindl, the director of the studio data [...]
Follow-Up Project “Aufzonierungsgebiete”
For several years, the city of Salzburg has consistently pursued a strategy of settlement development based on internal and subsequent densification in order to meet future housing needs. This is exactly where the project "Nachverdichtungsmonitor" from the studio iSPACE - Smart Settlement Systems started: in order to monitor the success of the goals and measures set, a standardized, transparent GIS evaluation tool was created in the form of the "Nachverdichtungsmonitor" which compares the development of the building stock with the maximum building densities according to the development plan. This post-densification monitoring has so far been implemented in a (roughly) 5-year cycle (2005 - 2014 - 2019). Based on the successful course of the "Nachverdichtungsmonitors" project, a GIS methodology is being developed to build on and supplement this in the follow-up project "Aufzonierungsgebiete", which identifies areas with a high potential for increasing building density (zoning up). The theoretical building potential of plots of land is evaluated on the basis of their geometry, the legal distance regulations and the building lines. For the current new preparation of the spatial development concept, this is an objectified basis for defining possible priority areas for future urban development in which rezoning can be a relevant urban planning element.
Research Results from ULTIMOB Enable Innovative Pilot Project in Leogang
The project ULTIMOB (Ultimate Integrated Mobility) from the studio iSPACE of the RSA FG is a broad research project within the program "Mobility of the Future" of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology. The aim of the project is to advance the mobility turnaround as well as to create necessary new mobility offers. Exactly this could be implemented in September 2022 by the first micro-public transport project in the province of Salzburg organized by the Salzburg Transport Association: with the Loigom Shuttle, there is a new, attractive mobility offer in the Pinzgau community. "The needs of everyday life and thus also mobility behavior are becoming increasingly fast-paced and flexible. With the new Loigom shuttle from the start of school, we are following this trend and creating the possibility of conveniently and flexibly taking care of daily needs, such as trips to the hairdresser, doctor, training or to the favorite inn, even without your own car. We are thus ensuring a connection to public transport where there are no connections today," says provincial councilor Stefan Schnöll. Multimodal Service Planning The basis for the elaboration and development of this new micro public transport offer in Leogang was the innovative planning tools and data created within the framework of ULTIMOB. In cooperation with the Salzburg Transport Association, commuter flows were analyzed and innovative GIS-supported planning bases were developed for the analysis of existing and future offers in the environmental alliance. New analytical models have been developed for the analysis of potential mobility demand in on-demand transport, which identify the [...]
