NOWADAYS DATA IS EVERYWHERE AND IT IS RAPIDLY BECOMING BUSINESS’ BIGGEST RESOURCE. THROUGH NUMEROUS SYSTEMS AND DEVICES, A HUGE AMOUNT OF DATA CAN BE COLLECTED. JUST THINK OF THE MANY SENSOR SYSTEMS, SUCH AS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, LOOPS IN THE ROAD, SMARTPHONES OR THE DIGITAL MARKERS WE CREATE OURSELVES BY POSTING PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK OR COMMENTS ON TWITTER. 'Big Data' has become a big thing and will change our world. In practice, however, organizations are often struggling with Big Data on multiple fronts: from the IT and governance structures to manage it efficiently, via analytics to make sense of it, to business models that create value in our everyday lives. It is TNO’s ambition to advance business and society by developing technologies for applications that collect data and unlock its valuable insights in an intelligent way. To realize this ambition, TNO investigates which parties play a role, which are the most promising business models, what technologies and standards are required, how interoperability can be achieved and how to deal with semantics. This brochure presents a small sample of research that TNO conducts on Big Data topics. It is striking to see how Big Data creates many new linkages between the societal domains TNO is active in. Therefore, I express the expectation that data-driven innovation will have the same connecting role in society as well! |
