DESCRIPTION:Par Dr. Eric Bouillet\, IBM Research\nInvited by Dr. Olivier V
 erscheure\, Swiss Data Science Center SDSCAbstract\nData has revolutionize
 d the way we live and work. From data we distil the useable insight we nee
 d to make actionable decisions. Data today is fueling a wealth of innovati
 ons in the industries of science\, health\, finances\, marketing\, utiliti
 es\, and offers the promises of vast untapped potentials in many other are
 as. However\, bigger\, faster data can be incredibly complex to analyse.\n
 In this talk we will explore big data systems in the context of real use c
 ases. I will present the challenges of big data analytics in the real worl
 d\, learned experience and best practices\, and how the solution has evolv
 ed into a set of reusable patterns that have been successfully applied to 
 several industries.Biography\nEric Bouillet received both his PhD and MSc 
 degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Columbia\, New Yo
 rk in 1999 and 1996\, respectively. After graduation Dr. Bouillet joined t
 he 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 netwo
 rks. A year later he joined a newly created startup company in New Jersey\
 , namely Tellium\, Inc.\, and co-invented and co-designed the first commer
 cial optical mesh restoration network\, which was eventually deployed nati
 onwide. 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-perf
 ormance stream computing engine\, codenamed System S\, that eventually bec
 ame an IBM product called IBM InfoSphere Streams. In October 2010 he joine
 d the newly established IBM Research lab in Dublin\, Ireland where he is w
 orking on the design\, development and deployment of big and fast data sol
 utions together with strategic customers from various domains\, including 
 finances\, law-enforcement\, telecommunications\, Energy & Utilities\, env
 ironmental monitoring\, and intelligent transport systems. Dr. Bouillet ed
 ited a book on ``Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks''\, published over 
 60 technical papers in top-tier conferences and journals\, and issued abou
 t 30 patents.
