◎演講摘要
The “yellow card'' sanction warning from the European Commision (EUC) has brought attention to the Taiwan government in fighting illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Unless further actions are taken, the EUC will issue a “red card'' and Taiwan will suffer a loss of 13 million euro yearly for not being able to export marine products. Besides passing new laws, the Fisheries Agency has funded the development of a next-generation oceanic information system (DeepSea 9) to help them monitor, control, and surveil overseas vessels.
The DeepSea 9 system uses the vessel monitoring system (VMS) system to track vessels, but this is only for overseas fisheries. The Fisheries Agency of Taiwan has another system, namely the voyage data recorder (VDR) system for offshore and coastal fisheries. The information these systems hold is voluminous, nearly 10 thousand vessels including more than 58 billion rows of GPS data, fishing logbooks, transshipments and landing records, and administrative information. We will attempt to interface these two systems together and use their data in conjunction for scientific research.
The initial design of these systems includes storing the data and provide an efficient way to retrieve voyages of vessels. Preliminary studies show that with the voyages data available in DeepSea 9 and the VDR systems, we can aggregate the information to identify roles of fishing ports, i.e., busy ports, unused ports, and sanctuary ports which serves as a hideout for severe weather condition. Moreover, the DeepSea 9 is constructed based on the underlying hardware and algorithms used in the preliminary designs.
In this talk, we will go over the basics and opportunity of applying computer science technology on marine science and environmental science.
◎個人簡介
William is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University. He has received his Ph.D. from the National Taiwan University and conducted his postdoctoral research at the Northwestern University, USA, and Academia Sinica, Taiwan. He is currently the director of the Advanced Computation Laboratory, leading a research team in big data computation and physical cloud computation infrastructure construction, the coach of the competitive programming team of his institute, and a member of the special interest group (SIG) of the Agriculture 4.0 project.
William is interested in cloud system implementation, big data analysis, embedded hardware and software design, and financial engineering. He developed the Financial Cloud infrastructure, a modular approach which various service providers and users can utilize. His current research lies in developing systems and algorithms for far seas, overseas, deep seas, and offshore fishery, including stock assessments, resource management and estimation, cloud infrastructure for monitoring, and oceanic big data processing.
