Big Data London - 22nd Big Data London Meetup @ UCL
Wednesday 23 April 2014, 19:30 - 20:30
Corner of Torrington Place and Malet Place, WC1E 7JE, London, Reino Unido
Hi all, we're excited to announce the Big Data London Meetup is back with this 22nd edition hosted by UCL with the help of ASI and sponsor Basho. We look forward to another great and thought provoking networking opportunity. Agenda 6:30pm: Networking, food and drinks, courtesy of our sponsors 7:00pm: Talks • Dave McCrory (@mccrory), Basho CTO: Data Gravity - Data Gravity and Complex Systems play a role in Cloud services and capabilities both inside Enterprise data centers and outside with Cloud providers. Data Gravity naturally draws applications and services closer to Data sources. Complex Systems create opportunities for dramatic changes and improvements in how we manage the interactions of Data, Applications, and Services. Dave will explore how to discover and leverage these behaviours and patterns to avoid lock-in, increased management costs, and derive other benefits. • Robert Smith, UCL Centre for the Study of Decision-Making Uncertainty: Analysis of Big Data on human decisions, specifically "beyond the simple probabilistic models of behavioural economics, to models that include the real patterns of human emotion that established psychological theories would predict." • Daniel Hulme, TheASI: Creating the bridge between university and industry for postdoctoral data scientists. 8:30pm: more networking and drinks Sponsors Make sure to check out our great sponsors University College London is graciously hosting the event. Basho: Basho Technologies is the creator and developer of Riak, a distributed database (sometimes categorized as a NOSQL database) that provides extreme high-availability, fault-tolerance, and operational simplicity, and Riak CS, a cloud-based object storage system that sits on top of Riak. The ASI: The ASI Fellowship Program is a six-week postdoctoral fellowship that enables scientists to transition to a career in data science.
