*Workshop Description (complete agenda to follow):*

*AMCIS 2017 *

*SIGGIS Workshop*



*Locational Big Data and Analytics: Implications for the Sharing Economy*



Thursday, August 10, 2017, 8:30am – noon



This workshop will focus on varied aspects of Locational Big Data and
Analytics, specifically its impact on the sharing economy.  For example,
firms such as Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb depend on enterprise-wide spatial
software.  This workshop seeks to provide the background from leading
researchers and practitioners on how spatial analytics supports and informs
the growth and success of the sharing economy.  Underpinning this growth
are several newly emerging spatially-enabled technologies that will be
discussed and explored through various use-cases, demonstrations, and
hands-on tutorials.  As such, Locational Big Data and Analytics has created
a need for the efficient manipulation and scalable analysis of spatial big
data on disparate, and distributed, datasets.  As a result, this has opened
a number of research areas such as:



   -Developing capabilities for accessing, formatting, and combining
spatial big data in ways that enable it to be easily consumed;

   -Developing methodologies to derive insight into spatial big data for
inferential understanding and decision making;

   -Developing teaching resources to better understand the use of data
manipulation techniques, spatial statistics, and spatial data-mining tasks
related to spatial big data; and

   -Developing novel spatial and spatiotemporal methods that can take
advantage of newly emerging data-intensive computational resources.



In addition to workshop activities, a group activity will be facilitated
focusing on research areas such as those listed above to discuss the “who,
what, where, when, how, and why” of participating in this burgeoning
research domain.



The workshop will run from 8:30am – 12:00pm with a Keynote to be announced
and more details to follow.
