Abstract
Data has revolutionized the way we live and work. From data we distil the useable insight we need to make actionable decisions. Data today is fueling a wealth of innovations in the industries of science, health, finances, marketing, utilities, and offers the promises of vast untapped potentials in many other areas. However, bigger, faster data can be incredibly complex to analyse.
In this talk we will explore big data systems in the context of real use cases. I will present the challenges of big data analytics in the real world, learned experience and best practices, and how the solution has evolved into a set of reusable patterns that have been successfully applied to several industries.
Biography
Eric Bouillet received both his PhD and MSc degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Columbia, New York in 1999 and 1996, respectively. After graduation Dr. Bouillet joined the department of Mathematics of Networks and System Research at the Lucent Technologies Mathematical Science Center in New Jersey, where he worked on the design optimization and sizing of circuit and packet switched networks. A year later he joined a newly created startup company in New Jersey, namely Tellium, Inc., and co-invented and co-designed the first commercial optical mesh restoration network, which was eventually deployed nationwide. Since June 2004 Eric has been with IBM Research, both in New York and Dublin, Ireland. He was a member of the research staff at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, NY where he contributed to the first high-performance stream computing engine, codenamed System S, that eventually became an IBM product called IBM InfoSphere Streams. In October 2010 he joined the newly established IBM Research lab in Dublin, Ireland where he is working on the design, development and deployment of big and fast data solutions together with strategic customers from various domains, including finances, law-enforcement, telecommunications, Energy & Utilities, environmental monitoring, and intelligent transport systems. Dr. Bouillet edited a book on ``Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks'', published over 60 technical papers in top-tier conferences and journals, and issued about 30 patents.
