PLATON TO DELIVER SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE FOR LARGE-SCALE DATA SERIES PROCESSING

Funded by the European Commission as a Marie SkłodowskaCurie Individual Fellowship, and lasting a year, PLATON, led by Professor Panagiota Fatourou, focuses on solutions for largescale data series processing.

Today, processing large collections of real-world data series is a major challenge for a wide range of application domains, including finance, seismology and other earth sciences, astrophysics, neuroscience, engineering, and so on. Due to recent advances in the development of modern scientific instruments in earth sciences and the growing importance of the internet of things (IoT), data series collections are experiencing an unprecedented growth in size. One of the most pressing issues in data series processing, therefore, is achieving enhanced performance and high scalability.

PLATON aims to deliver solutions for large-scale data series processing that meet such performance and scalability goals. Specifically, PLATON aspires to build, for the first time, the necessary methods, algorithms and tools for highly efficient, scalable, and fault-tolerant processing of huge collections of data series. Scalability will be achieved by exploiting the full computational capacity (multiple nodes, multiple cores, accelerators) of modern computing platforms. Meanwhile, PLATON will demonstrate its value proposition using real datasets from different domains. The proposed research project has the potential for significant economic and social impact in Europe, given that multiple scientific and industrial fields are currently in need of the right tools to handle their massive collections of data series – a fact acknowledged by the European data strategy.
