He serves also as Full professor at the Department of Computer Science, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Italy, where he leads the SESAR research lab, and President of the Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per l&#8217;Informatica (CINI). Ernesto\u2019s research interests include secure service-oriented architectures (SOA), certifiable robust Artificial intelligence and Data Analytics models, and cyber-physical systems security. Dr. Damiani received a doctorate honoris causa from Institute National de Sciences Appliquees (INSA) of Lyon, France, for his contributions to Big Data analysis platforms and architectures. In 2022, Ernesto was awarded the rank of Officer of the Order of the Star of Italy for his contributions to international scientific collaboration in AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Title: Geospatial Predictive Services: From Data Science to AI<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Geospatial data has become a cornerstone of modern decision-making, powering applications from urban planning and environmental monitoring to autonomous navigation and disaster response. This talk explores the evolution of geospatial predictive services, tracing the journey from traditional data science techniques to cutting-edge artificial intelligence. We will examine how statistical modeling, machine learning, and deep learning are transforming the way spatial patterns are analyzed and predicted. Special attention will be given to the integration of heterogeneous data sources\u2014satellite imagery, sensor networks, and real-time geolocation streams\u2014and the challenges of scalability, uncertainty quantification, and ethical deployment. Through case studies and recent research, the talk will highlight how AI-driven geospatial services are reshaping industries and enabling smarter, more adaptive systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ernesto Damiani Dean of Computing and Mathematical Sciences and Director of the Center for Cyber Physical Systems (C2PS) at Khalifa University in the UAE Ernesto Damiani is Dean of Computing and Mathematical Sciences and Director of the Center for Cyber&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"speaker-category":[141],"speaker-tags":[148,109],"location":[142,74,88,182],"class_list":["post-4393","speaker","type-speaker","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","speaker-category-keynote-speaker","speaker-tags-keynotes","speaker-tags-speaker","location-greece","location-italy","location-milan","location-volos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker\/4393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/speaker"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4393"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker\/4393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5466,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker\/4393\/revisions\/5466"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"speaker-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker-category?post=4393"},{"taxonomy":"speaker-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker-tags?post=4393"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.sigappfr.org\/inista2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=4393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
