Un' architettura scalabile per la Spatial Multidimensional Analysis

Un’applicazione per l’Energy Big Data Management

Abstract

The SIDECO (SIstema Dati Energetici aperti e COndivisi) project aims at designing and implementing a prototype software platform of Big Data Analytics as innovative analysis solution for energy policies, to support organizations, companies, professionals and communities. SIDECO data presents the characteristics of Big Data: large amounts of data produced by heterogeneous sources (smart meters, consumption invoices, supplier statistical reports, etc.), with different speeds and in various formats. This paper describes the Harmony process of integrated product development methodology adopted for system design and the design of the Energy Data Management as a Spatial Data Warehousing sub–system, thought to meet the needs of project users to have an easy–to–use tool to perform analysis and to extract summary information. The Spatial Data Warehousing adopts a unified architecture, which exploits the advantages of traditional useroriented databases and NoSQL databases that with their scalability features lend themselves to the management of Big Data.
