BIG DATA - When Urban Air Quality Meets Big Data

Thursday, May 8, 2014

VIDEO: Urban air quality -- the concentration of PM2.5 -- is of great importance in protecting human health. While there are limited air-quality-monitor-stations in a city, air quality varies by location significantly and is influenced by multiple complex factors, such as traffic flow and land use. Consequently, people cannot know the air quality of a location without a monitoring station. This project infers real-time, fine-grained air-quality information throughout a city, based on air-quality data reported by existing monitor stations and a variety of data sources observed in the city, such as meteorology, traffic flow, human mobility, the structure of road networks, and points of interest. This fine-grained air-quality information could help people figure out when and where to go jogging—or when they should shut the window or put on a face mask in locations where air quality is already a daily issue. This could lead to long-term solutions in predicting forthcoming air quality and identifying the root cause of air pollution.

INSIGHTS - Seeking Answers amid World Cup Excitement

Monday, Jun 16, 2014

ARTICLE: “Sports are extremely predictable,” he explains, “but the World Cup is much more idiosyncratic. It’s more like politics in that way. We know a lot about how a generic Brazil team would do against a generic Croatia team, similar to the way I know how a generic Republican candidate will do against a generic Democratic candidate. Yet it is a whole lot less certain than how the New York Yankees are going to do against the Seattle Mariners with 60 baseball games of data already in the books. “That being said, over time, we learn more and more ways to get the data we need to answer the idiosyncratic events in a purely data-driven way.”

BIG DATA - A Flexible Pinhole Camera Model for Coherent Non-Uniform Sampling

Tuesday, Jun 24, 2014

VIDEO: a pinhole camera model that allows modulating the sampling rate over the field of view with great flexibility. This flexible pinhole camera or FPC is defined by a viewpoint (i.e. eye) and by a sampling map that specifies the sampling locations on the image plane. The sampling map is constructed from known regions of interest with interactive and automatic approaches. The FPC provides an inexpensive 3-D projection operation which allows rendering complex datasets quickly, in feed-forward fashion, by projection followed by rasterization.

CLOUD - Growth areas such as cloud, big data, security and IT consolidation will help Atos ramp up revenue through 2016

Monday, Jul 28, 2014

ARTICLE: TBR Perspective Atos’ 2016 Ambition plan sets a clear strategy for the firm’s growth: Leverage strengths in managed services (MS) and consulting & systems integration (C&SI), commit to disruptive and innovative offerings (with cloud computing as a key growth area), expand reach in North America and emerging geographies, and enhance its position in the payment market through Worldline. With its strategy in place, the firm is in execution mode to overcome its growth challenges, as 2013 revenue declined 0.9% year-to-year at constant scope and exchange rates. Atos is positioning as an end-to-end consult-design-build-run service provider, consolidating its previously separate consulting and technology services with its SI service line and tightening the relationship with the MS service line. Atos’ strategy to align its C&SI business by its four core vertical markets and begin to develop industry-specialized MS offerings will help the firm increase the value and attractiveness of its portfolio. The firm’s investments to augment its traditional portfolio with offerings around technology trends such as cloud, big data and analytics, mobility, smart utilities, and digital security will help support long-term revenue growth and accelerate global expansion. While 2014 will be a year of recovery for the firm, with a difficult 1H14 but anticipated growth improvement in 2H14, the 2016 Ambition plan will enable the firm to reach its three-year target to increase organic revenue by 2% to 3% CAGR from 2014 to 2016.

ARTICLE: CEO and co-founder Christian Chabot kicked things off in front of a crowd of over 5,500 customers and partners. The theme of the opening keynote was “The Art of Analytics.” Mr. Chabot likened an analyst’s design process for data visualization to the creative process of an artist with a blank canvas or a sculptor with a slab or marble. Visualization software, he drove home, should “unleash the creative power of data” and has the power to “remove the drudgery” of analysis. - See more at: http://techproessentials.com/tableau-conference-2014-sir-mix-a-lot-was-only-the-beginning/#sthash.xdqJQqIr.dpuf

BIG DATA - Data Visualization for the Internet of Things

Friday, Nov 28, 2014

ARTICLE: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a mediocre phrase. It’s not creative or clever, and it doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. It is only because the phenomenon’s potential is so great that it can get away with such a lackluster name. Every day, more machines, sensors, and devices are talking to data systems, and eventually, to analytics users. This data is complex, vast, and fast-moving. The IoT represents a new approach to thinking about devices and data generation, and so a new analytical approach is required as well.

I should take a step back, actually, because it began even before that with the grand challenge of trying to crawl and index an exponentially growing number of websites in the early 21st Century. But that challenge was unique to Google and a few other players, while analyzing web site access was more ubiquitous among the burgeoning social media sites that were coming of age around the same time.

INSIGHTS - SuperComputing 2012 (SC12)

Thursday, Nov 29, 2012

BLOGPOST: After a snow-filled week in Salt Lake City for SC ’12, the IEEE Computer Society and ACM co-sponsored conference on supercomputing and high-powered computing, I tried to relax in my airplane seat. When striking up the usual small-talk that accompanies flying coach, I found out that the gentleman sitting in the aisle seat was leaving the conference as well. The man in the middle? Not a techie, and he posed an interesting question to us both: “What exactly is supercomputing?” I won’t bore you with the answer that we gave, but I will say that the question is an important one. Most of the conferences that I find myself at are focused on some narrow aspect of computing, be it mobility, graphics, or software engineering, but I was very excited to be going to my first Supercomputing conference. I like the idea of having a place where HPC, networking, data storage, and education all mix together. Most of my excitement came from curiosity about what kinds of stuff I’d find in the exhibit hall. Would there be flashy booths? Huge HPC racks? Cutting edge applications? Yes.

This combination of the potential impact of Big Data on my own life plus the sense that these IPOs foretold a sea change in the technology landscape intrigued me. Just as I was finishing the Ironman, I embarked on another journey, to understand the full landscape of Big Data. Much of the knowledge I have gained in the process I plan to share in this column and in my upcoming book, Big Data Demystified: How Big Data Is Changing The Way We Live, Love and Learn.
