i4sea: a big data platform for sea area monitoring and analysis of fishing vessels activity

Abstract

The i4sea research project provides effective and efficient big data integration, processing, and analysis technologies to deliver both real-time and historical operational snapshots of fishing vessels activity in national sea areas. This paper presents the architecture of the i4sea big data platform for sea area monitoring and analysis of fishing vessels activity and demonstrates the operation of some use-case pilot scenarios.
