The Rise of Big Data and Data Science

by: Donald Miner

Tuesday March 26, 2013

Please note the return to our old time!!!!

6:30 PM – Networking and Pizza(*)

7:00 – 8:00 PM – Program

A lot has happened in the past year in the data analysis world. Something has caused a surge in organizations to take their data more seriously by using more of it and by taking a much closer look at that data. New platforms like Hadoop, Cassandra, and MongoDB are seeing heavy usage and are replacing traditional relational database management systems. Companies are transcending traditional business intelligence by moving towards predictive analytics. The buzzwords that have spawned from this new movement are "big data" and "data science". The presentation will define both of these terms (or at least attempt to), give a short history lesson, speculate on what's driving these changes, and predict what will happen in the near future.

 

Donald Miner serves as a Solutions Architect at EMC Greenplum, advising and helping customers implement and use Greenplum's big data systems. He is the author of the book "MapReduce Design Patterns", a book on Hadoop that is published by O'Reilly. Prior to working with Greenplum, he architected several large-scale and mission-critical Hadoop deployments in the U.S. Intelligence Community. He is also involved in teaching, having previously instructed industry classes on Hadoop and, at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (BC), taught a variety of artificial intelligence courses. He received his PhD from the University of Maryland, BC in Computer Science, where he focused on machine learning and multi-agent systems in his dissertation research. He lives in Maryland with his wife and young son.
