HiDALGO

HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Systems

Brief description

Developing evidence and understanding concerning Global Challenges and their underlying parameters is rapidly becoming a vital challenge for modern societies. Various examples, such as health care, the transition of green technologies or the evolution of the global climate up to hazards and stress tests for the financial sector demonstrate the complexity of the involved systems and underpin their interdisciplinary as well as their globality.

This becomes even more obvious if coupled systems are considered: problem statements and their corresponding parameters are dependent on each other, which results in interconnected simulations with a tremendous overall complexity.

Although the process for bringing together the different communities has already started within the Centre of Excellence for Global Systems Science (CoeGSS), the importance of assisted decision making by addressing global, multidimensional problems is more important than ever. Global decisions with their dependencies cannot be based on incomplete problem assessments or gut feelings anymore, since impacts cannot be foreseen without an accurate problem representation and its systemic evolution.

Therefore, HiDALGO bridges that shortcoming by enabling highly accurate simulations, data analytics and data visualisation but also by providing knowledge on how to integrate the various workflows and the corresponding data.

DIALOGIK contribution

In one case study, HiDALGO investigates social networks as they have a significant influence on our social and economic behaviour. The main goals are to understand the influence of social networks, to identify false / malicious messages and to develop countermeasures. Within the context, DIALOGIK performs a content analysis of twitter messages.

Furthermore, DIALOGIK is responsible for the internal community building, especially be providing background information on interdisciplinary challenges and chances, but also by conducting internal surveys on different aspects like transparency and implementation of key items.

Finally, DIALOGIK leads the task “Event Management and Collaboration” which aims at collaboration with other projects, initiatives and commercial stakeholders.
