Technologies for Information Management
Consultation – Your opinion on efficient handling of data overflow
A public consultation and workshop has just been launched. The purpose is to get impulses and a broad understanding of main technology and user trends and barriers. The results of this consultation will be considered in the preparation of related future research agenda, and will be taken into account for the next Work Programme, covering the 2011-2012 period of the Framework Programme 7, the European Commission's largest instrument for research and development funding.
Your opinions, and those of others, will help us better understand the practical problems and opportunities in the field of Intelligent Information Management and identify future research needs and directions.
Public consultation
The European Commission, Directorate General Information Society and Media – Technologies for Information Management, would like to learn your opinion on the following questions.
- What kinds of barriers and/or technology obstacles hinder your work or your business in relation to efficient management of all types of extremely large volumes of data?
- What kind of EU-wide research and development activities would make the EU more competitive in managing ever growing amounts of data (handling, understanding, making better use of these data sources)?
Your submissions will contribute to shaping the new Work Programme which will drive ICT calls and operations in 2011-2012 and beyond.
You are invited to participate in this public consultation by answering the below questionnaire, or by sending the URLs to strategy paper and presentation.
If
- You come from an organisation that is known to have large and growing amounts of data to manage and make sense of, often in real time (millions of users, billions of transactions, etc...);
or
- You are working at the cutting edge of alternative data storage architectures and paradigms for distributed, concurrent programming.
We are interested in your personal, professional opinion. In other words, we do not expect you to contribute the views of a company, an industry sector or a country. The question to you is: what kinds of programming, storage, operations ideas or services do you think have the potential to become as important in 2015 as current large scale data processing paradigms are today? And what can realistically be done to get the best people in Europe to collaborate on these ideas in the funding context of Framework Programme 7?
You are invited to submit your contribution to issues structured along the concrete dimensions specified as follows:
