EU-COST FAIM Training School on “Big Data, Data Warehousing, and Data Analytics”, to be held at DTU building 324 in Lyngby, Denmark on 26, 27, 28 August 2015
WG3 (algorithms) and WG4 (Traceability) are happy to announce this training school:
Why go?
Looking at the objectives for WG3: http://www.cost-faim.eu/algorithms.html and the objectives for WG4: http://www.cost-faim.eu/traceability.html you will note that this training school is of particular relevance for all of you. WG3 (algorithms) and WG4 (Traceability) are very happy to announce this Training School.
What is the content?
Everyone is speaking about “Big Data”. There does not seem to be a common consensus on what Big Data is…
If you join this workshop you will end up having a better idea what it is and what it can do for you.
During the Training School you will meet and hear researchers, developers, and day-to-day users about this exciting new area.
Also three different vendors will give their scope on the different issues.
What are the topics?
Currently we have confirmed:
Professor Nils Toft, DTU Veterinary Institute: “Big Data in the Animal Kingdom!”
Professor Lars Kai Hansen, DTU Compute: ”Big Data – perspectives and outlook”
Chief Scientist Charlotte Sonne Kristensen, SEGES, Danish Pig Research Centre: “Can Big Data save the pigs?”
Associate Professor Sune Lehmann, DTU Compute: ”Sensible DTU – a great big social experiment”
Postdoc Tommy Sonne Alstrøm, DTU Compute: “Structuring databases so research results, programs, articles do not get lost in CyberSpace…”
