Workshop on Big Data + Storage Systems
Presented by the NSF Sponsored - Center for Research on Intelligent Storage (CRIS)
Thursday May 2nd, 2013 8a.m. – 5p.m.
UMN Digital Technology Center – Room 402 Walter Library
Register Here: http://www.dtc.umn.edu/seminars/events.php?eventdesc=703
Background: The Center for Research in Intelligent Storage (CRIS) is working to address many emerging storage systems R&D issues. One of the important subjects today is "Big Data." The majority of Big Data research proposals we see today are talking about visualization, analytics and the application side of big data. We believe it is important to bring big data together with the advancements of storage systems. Therefore, we are organizing a workshop on big data + data storage systems to identify current issues and future challenges.
