The partners in EveryAware come from four different complementary areas that are all directly relevant to achieve the objectives of the project.
There are two complex systems oriented partners (ISI and PHYS-SAPIENZA). They will be concerned with analyzing and modeling the Social Dynamics that this project will generate and solving fundamental problems in the aggregation of massive noisy quantitative and qualitative data.
One partner is an important player in the domain of environmental monitoring and modelling (VITO), i.e. sensing and modelling air quality.
Then there is a partner coming from the domain of the social sciences (UCL), with specialised expertise in community building through the use of Geographic Information Systems.
Finally, EveryAware enjoys the presence of a strong Computer Science partner (LUH) with a track record in research excellence and in pushing the state of the art in future and emerging technologies in several relevant domains: Web Science, Data Mining, Web 2.0, Semantic Web, Social Network Analysis.
The consortium is therefore strong and well balanced, spanning the full disciplinary range from complex systems science to environmental modelling and future and emerging ICT technologies, bringing together social sciences, mathematics and the physical sciences, and information technologies.
