Traffic Data Mining workshop
9-10 June, 2002
University of Bristol, UK
This workshop is the kick-off meeting for the
SolEuNet WP5 data mining project on the traffic dataset. The goal of the
workshop is to work on business and data understanding. The end user, John
Bullas from Hampshire County Council, will be present. Additional aims are to
become familiar with the latest version of SumatraTT as well as RAMSYS support
in Zeno 2.
Resources
Every participant will get an allocated Sun workstation with sufficient local
filespace. Participants who want to bring their own laptop can get an IP address
if they inform Shaomin Wu in advance about their Ethernet address (something of
the form 00 03 93 10 87 4E). The data will be accessible in a DB2 database and
through flat files.
Accommodation
We can book your accommodation. Our aim is to put everybody in 1 or 2 places close
to each other, and within walking distance of the University. Please confirm your
participation and travel details as soon as possible to Shaomin Wu.
Travel
Please allow two full days for the workshop, i.e. arrive on
Saturday and leave on Tuesday. You are very welcome to stay for a few more days
before or after the workshop.

Take a bus to Bristol. From Terminals 1, 2, 3 this

available at Heathrow terminals.
Via London Gatwick
More or less same recipe as Heathrow, except bus
takes 3.5 hours (via Heathrow).
Via London Stansted/Luton
It's a bit more complicated to reach Bristol
from these airports; allow plenty of time.

book directly with Go).
