Title:The Challenge of a Big Data Explosion
Abstract:Wewitness the explosion of data which now comes not only in new formsand formats but also in enormous sizes and extreme velocity. Someexamples include structured data from transactions we make,unstructured data as text communications of different kinds,varieties of multimedia files and video streams. Size, variety andvelocity of such data pose a challenge for traditional robustrelational databases management systems. To ensure efficientprocessing of this data, often called ‘Big Data’, the use ofhighly distributed and scalable systems and new data managementarchitectures, e.g. distributed file systems and NoSQL database, hasbeen widely considered. This talk will present a bold vision aboutthe future of databases and elaborate on issues related to theefficient management of Big Data, discuss findings and current trendsas well as suggest possible research directions.
