'Storage and Indexing of Massive Data', Buckinghamshire, UK
7 February 2013 - 7 February 2013
United Kingdom
A symposium entitled 'Storage and Indexing of Massive Data' will be held on 7 February 2013 in Buckinghamshire, UK.
The world is drowning in data. In business, every manager on the planet is besieged by data. They come in through the electronic door by way of e-mail, they are generated by employees creating business plans and purchase orders, and they multiply almost exponentially. The fact that much of these data are paperless should, at least in theory, make data management much simpler. The reality, however, is that it's almost impossible to conceive how much data are produced by a company in a single day, let alone decades. The current and ever increasing rate at which data is being produced is fast outstripping our capacity to process and make use of it.
This event will examine the impressive computational methods developed for coping with massive data to date and look forward, sketching a roadmap to deal with challenges in the decades ahead.For further information, please visit:
