  in the midst of a revolution in information technology\, at the centre of
  which is Big Data. We generate\, collect\, processe\, and store data at p
 henomenally high rates. Communication\, entertainment\, financial and heal
 th services\, social networking and mobile services are just a few example
 s of how our day-to-day interactions have transformed into data exchanges.
  Science has entered a data-centric “fourth paradigm” which complement
 s theory\, experimentation and simulation with analytics on massive scient
 ific data\, enabling discoveries from Big Data based on empirical principl
 es\; the fourth paradigm constitutes a fundamental change in the scientifi
 c methods as we know them. Big Data is a resource that can be turned into 
 economic\, cultural and scientific value. At the 2014 Research Day interna
 tional top experts in managing Big Data will explore in a series of talks 
 both opportunities and risks that the Big Data revolution brings along\, a
 nd EPFL researchers will provide an opportunity to have a glimpse of EPFL 
 research highlights on Big Data.\nThe next IC Research Day on Big Data wil
 l be held on the 12th of June 2014. We are looking forward to seeing you t
 here.\nFurther information: ic.epfl.ch/researchday2014
