AIS Explorer- An online historic ship data analyzer using vOLAP
I was selected from PESIT to visit Dalhousie University in the summer of 2015 and work under the guidance of Dr. Andrew Rau-Chaplin (Dean of Computer Science, Dalhousie University) in the Risk-Analytics Lab .
The Risk Analytics lab was in possession of an in-house data warehousing tool known as vOLAP which was capable of very fast join operations, making it suitable for applications such as this.
I helped build the application using Backbone JS and MapBox. Further we could also compare the performance of the system with other options like IBM Netezza or Apache Spark.
