VERCE's Data-Intensive E-Science Environment
VERCE is developing a data-intensive e-science environment to enable innovative data analysis and data modelling methods that fully exploit the increasing wealth of open data generated by the observational and monitoring systems of the global seismology community.
VERCE's strategy is to build upon a service-oriented architecture and a data-intensive platform delivering services, workflow tools, and software as a service, and to integrate the distributed European public data and computing infrastructures (GRID, HPC and CLOUD) with private resources and the European integrated data archives of the seismology community.
VERCE is a major contribution to the e-science environment of the European Plate Observing System LogoEPOS, the ESFRI initiative of the solid Earth community. VERCE is in synergy with the European Infrastructures (PRACE and EGI), and a number of European projects of the seismology and IT communities.
VERCE in Action: From Seismic Data to Casino Strategies
The tools VERCE built to crunch massive seismic datasets are now powering online casinos. The same workflow models that predict earthquakes are analyzing player behavior in real time.
The platform processes millions of actions — bets, slot spins, deposits — and instantly spots clear patterns. Casinos see who’s prone to risk, which bonuses hit hardest, and when a player is ready to cash out. It works like EPOS, but for the gaming industry: instead of tectonic plates, it tracks human decisions. VERCE proves that big data works anywhere there’s motion, risk, and choice.
