(19) Big Data

Workshop presented by: University of Geneva - Infoscope

Languages: French and English

Automatically processing large volumes of data is an increasingly common activity, both in scientific research (in astronomy, climatology, earth sciences, etc.) and in the activities of the giant Internet companies that collect vast amounts of information via social networks and other applications. One way of tackling such a titanic task is to programme computers so that they cooperate and work in parallel.

This workshop invites participants to take on the role of processors in order to simulate and understand the type of algorithms used to process what is known as 'Big Data'.

Workshop led by: Mr. Abuzar Chitsaz (Student - UNIGE, CUI)
