Overview Growing availability of geospatial data over the past three decades owes much to the emergence of locating systems and mobile devices into the open market. Once tabooed as solely the domain of espionage and military agencies, these are now in the center of our everyday life. Such an explosion in availability of geospatial data has led to new needs and ideas. Harnessing such information is seen by many as "reading between the lines" – reaching new conclusions by approaching existing data from a new angle: "Geospatial Data Mining". In practice, this has not been simple to achieve, mostly due to limits in computational capacities or other similar obstacles. Nonetheless, the most significant obstacle is the innovative thinking required to identify such potentials. As long-time pioneers of this field, we see the emergence of location based systems in new markets as an important step towards greater awareness of large scale operations. Analyzing geospatial data, or geospatial data mining, produces a wide variety of conclusive information, largely used for decision support: Ø Understanding behavior of entities over time Ø Identifying patterns and relations between entities Ø Prediction of future behavior Real-time analysis of geospatial data is becoming more feasible on large scales due to innovative thinking and technological advances. Taking awareness a wide step forward, this relatively new technology carries huge potential – conclusions with immediate impacts and short-term relevance have widened geospatial data mining from a strategic analysis method to a tactical tool. Our approach Understanding the benefits of geospatial data mining is often very complex, requiring in-depth knowledge of methods and technicalities in order to comprehend the conclusions reached. With this in mind, we believe that executive decisions should be based on clear understanding and awareness of the situation at hand; expertise is crucial for successfully exploiting geospatial data. Therefore, we put great effort in transforming advanced data mining solutions into clear understandable conclusions. Correlation Systems Ltd. has been a pioneer of geospatial data mining for over 15 years. With experience in a wide range of fields, we believe that the focus is no longer on what can be learned – today's possibilities limitless. Focused on reaching conclusions that answer concrete needs, we fill the gap between technological capabilities and the practical demands at hand. Furthermore, our experience has shown that geospatial data mining applications share most of their conceptual and practical characteristics. We believe a generic approach to geospatial data mining is the key to continued advancement in this field, allowing easy adaptation of practices from one field to another while maintaining freedom to explore new options in each field individually. In practical terms, we believe that simplicity is the key to adapting geospatial data mining into new fields; there is no need to burden users with unnecessary or indirectly relevant information: providing the clearest conclusions and simplest explanations will ultimately result in better executive or operational decisions. In light of this, we promote use of the SaaS concept ("software as a service"), which effectively reduces all maintenance burdens on the user to an absolute minimum, while dramatically improving the supplier's reaction time. Correlation Systems Ltd. approaches new fields in which geospatial data mining has not been previously used. Working alongside partner companies from these fields, we provide the tools that allow our customers to exploit geospatial data mining to the fullest. We believe such partnerships are the key to widening the scale in which geospatial data mining is utilized globally, and go to great lengths to widen the variety of out partners. Last but no least, an important part of our overall vision and practice is the aspect of privacy. It is no secret that surveillance-related systems run the risk of breaching privacy boundaries – both in legal and in ethical terms. We see these issues with utmost importance and priority, and believe that regulation should be pushed forward: this will not limit the field at all - it will dispose of the gray areas that limit us today. |
