Big Data: A Data Driven Society?

Roberto V. Zicari
Goethe University
Frankfurt

About the talk:

In the first part of this talk, I will review how Big Data is enabling a data-driven economy, look at what to do with Big Data, and look at the consequences of a society being reshaped by systematically building on data analytics. In the second part of the talk, I will outline some of the Big Data research challenges in three areas: Data, Processes, and Management. I will then conclude making a case for Big Data for Social Good: my aim is to show that Big Data can be leveraged to better serve the people who generate the data, and ultimately the society in which we live.

Title: Transformation of classical SAP landscapes towards in memory and big data infrastructures powered by SAP HANA

D002831Speaker: Karl Kessler studied computer science at the Technical University of Munich. He joined SAP AG in 1992 as a member of the basis team focusing on product management of SAP’s technology. In 2004 Karl became vice president of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. Today Karl is member of the SAP HANA team focusing on landscape transformation from SAP NetWeaver to SAP HANA.

Abstract:  Today, more than 70.000 productive customers run their SAP Business Suite applications on top of the proven SAP NetWeaver platform. With SAP NetWeaver 7.4 the newest release is available which is heavily optimized for the SAP HANA database platform. The latest version of the SAP Business Suite i2013 runs on top of SAP NetWeaver 7.4. The session will show the capabilities of SAP’s technology platform with a focus on in memory, big data and cloud topics.

Location: Room NM 114 („Neue Mensa 114“) at Campus Bockenheim, Goethe University Frankfurt, 4 – 6 p.m.

Title: High-performance and automatic computing

bientinesiSpeaker: Prof. Paolo BientinesiNumerical Linear Algebra, High -Performance & Parallel Computing Automation,  Computer Science Department, RWTH Aachen

Abstract:  This talk gives an overview of the activities of the HPAC group (http://hpac.rwth-aachen.de/). In particular, I discuss how in scientific computing both the design and the implementation of high-performance algorithms require the integration of expertise from multiple disciplines. Using as an example a widespread application in biology–the genome-wide association studies–, I illustrate how domain-specific knowledge is the key towards superior solutions. Moreover, since in this application the size of the data is in itself a challenge, I show techniques to make even the largest instances of the problem feasible.
