BigData 2013 - Workshop on Big Data Services

As increasing amounts of data are generated and ‘almost unlimited’ storage and computing capabilities become available (e.g. Clouds, HPC Clusters), Big Data has naturally come to represent the next major frontier in IT innovation by offering unprecedented opportunities for discovering hidden intelligence and game-changing insights. For example, search engine companies, such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have created entirely new business services by collecting and analysing trillions of bytes data every day to provide deeper and better business insights than were hitherto available. Due to the huge business value and new business opportunities that it has the potential to generate, Big Data has attracted considerable attention from both industry and the academic/research communities. The services dimension to Big Data raises a wide repertoire of new research and engineering challenges, including big data models, big data storage and transfer, new software architectures and algorithms of processing big data, the leveraging of big data in service innovation etc.
The Service Science Society of Australia, in pursuit of its agenda to promote service innovation in key sectors of the Australian economy, will host a workshop that will bring together thought leaders in the Big Data and services space to discuss potential innovations and collaborations in the modelling, collecting, processing/analysis and management of Big Data and its associated services.
There is no cost to attend, but the venue has limited capacity - please register early.
