TDM

The “Metropolitan Digital Fabric Project - TDM” is a research, development, and training project that aims to study and experiment with new smart solutions to improve urban attractiveness, resource management, citizen safety, and quality of life.

Abstract

The project studies and develops enabling technologies, particularly for distributed sensing, big data aggregation and processing, open data distribution, and complex data analysis and visualization, as well as specific vertical solutions for environmental risk protection, energy efficiency, and cultural heritage presentation. Methods and applications are being tested and validated in the city of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), leveraging advanced communication infrastructures and distributed sensing at a metropolitan scale.

TDM research activities are complemented by a dissemination and training plan that will include the organisation of three Summer Schools on Urban Informatics:

• Urban Computing 2019 (Cagliari, May 15-22, 2019) - special theme: Big Data.
• Urban Computing 2021 (Cagliari, June 21-25, 2021) - special theme: Visual Computing.
• Urban Computing 2022 (Cagliari, September 19-23, 2022) - special theme: Energy Transition in Digital Cities
