The process of data discovery is an approach to extracting knowledge, valid, and usable information from large amounts data, using automatic or semi-automatic methods. This article inventory the different extraction processes encountered in literature for fields application development environmental informatics. Following analysis between models, we can summarize existing models with a proposal...

The complex challenges facing 21st century society will require solutions that transcend disciplinary boundaries (National Academies, 2004). The convergence of informatics, engineering and biotechnology is widely predicted to lie at the heart of the next technological revolution (Carlson, 2008). Interdisciplinary science and technology has the potential to fundamentally transform healthcare, ag...

In this paper, we discuss the main informatics challenges that arise when a high throughput sensor network is constructed with view to addressing real environmental challenges, such as real-time urban air pollution monitoring and mapping. We present a distributed infrastructure based on grid technology and data integration and mining tools, and describe our experience in developing such compone...
