Big Data, Big Deal? Royal College of Physicians, London 10 May 2012 The Eduserv Symposium 2012 will investigate Big Data, uncovering what makes it different from what has gone before and considering the strategic issues it brings with it: both how to use it effectively and how to manage it. The day will take a look at what Big Data might mean across research, learning, and operations in HE, and at its implications in government, health, and the commercial sector, where large-scale data is driving the development of a whole new set of tools and techniques. Keynotes by Anthony D. Joseph (Chancellor's Associate Professor in Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley) and Rob Anderson (CTO EMEA, Isilon Storage Division at EMC). The Eduserv Symposium is free to attend. Interested? Find out more and register at http://www.eduserv.org.uk/newsandevents/events/2012/symposium.
