Representation, Analysis and Visualization of Moving Objects (Dagstuhl Seminar 12512)

From December 16 to December 21, 2012, the Dagstuhl Seminar 12512 "Representation, Analysis and Visualization of Moving Objects" was held in Schloss Dagstuhl -- Leibniz Center for Informatics. The major goal of this seminar was to bring together the diverse and fast growing, research community that is involved in developing better computational techniques for spatio-temporal object representation, data mining, and visualization of moving object data. The participants included experts from fields such as computational geometry, data mining, visual analytics, GIS science, urban planning and movement ecology. Most of the participants came from academic institutions but some also from government agencies and industry. The seminar has led to a fruitful exchange of ideas between different disciplines, to the creation of new interdisciplinary collaborations and to recommendations for future research directions. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper.
