What drives the choice of a given representaion of this data? How can small tweaks enhance performance? \n\nThe discussion ai ms to enlighten pros and cons of the various methods of representation whe n trying to resolve a problem involving geo-spatial data. How would we sto re and index the data for a location like Bangalore and get relevant infor mation for an area like Koramanagala to serve intelligent information. \n\ nWe would also like to cover several ways to save infrastructural costs(ex ample of Amazon EMR will be taken). \n\nOur experience is mainly around w riting pipelines for processing huge ammounts of spacial data from their r aw form to creating relevant reports. We would like to talk about the seve ral performance bottlenecks we faced in representing and maintaining data as well as performance and how we overcame these.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nVa run is the Techincal Architect for Big Data at Minjar\, Kuliza Technologie s.

It can find out the nearest landmark for you and tell you distanc e from that. Once you get couple of landmarks you get a general sense of w here you are without having to decipher your location on a google map. \n\ nYou could then send that as SMS to your friend who will immediately know where you instead of having to look it up on google map. \n\nIn this talk we will walk through how we went about creating this app\, what kind of da ta is required to support such a use case and how to provide the intellige nt information from that data and your lat-long.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nMy name is Mayank Sharma.

How long SHOULD it take for a letter to travel 15\,000km to suburban India ? Or\, how many times should your driver be allowed to ask for directions before being excessive??\n\nThis is an open ended discussion driven by the problems encountered when attempting to locate people on a household basi s. We will discuss how much information is actually needed to pinpoint a l ocation and how proper mapping can improve the efficiency of this system f or several industries such as municipal utilities\, e-commerce\, general b illing\, recreation\, etc. \n\nIn general\, what are our current limitatio ns in mapping and when/where does it make sense to begin mapping community based\, spatial knowledge? After a brief introduction to the challenges w e’ve faced and the solutions we’ve come up with\, this session will ac t as a platform for creativity and endless mapping possibilities.
