aSTEP: Aau's Spatio-TEmporal Data Analytics Platform

Abstract

We demonstrate aSTEP, a spatio-temporal data management and analytics platform developed at Aalborg University (a.k.a. aau) that aims at providing a range of core functionalities for outdoor location-based service, indoor locationbased service, and location-based social networks, which facilitates application developers to develop their own, specific locationbased services on top of aSTEP. aSTEP also consolidates many recent research results on spatio-temporal data management and analytics, and serves as a testbed for exploring advanced solutions to a range of challenges related to spatio-temporal data management and analytics, e.g., Mobility-as-a-Service, dataintensive routing. In addition, from education perspectives, every spring semester aSTEP accommodates some 30 to 40 software engineering students' group-based bachelor projects at the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University.
