Tutorial and Workshop on Semantic Computing with Big Data (SCBD 2014)

 

Big Data has become a new source of opportunity in terms of Semantic Computing. Unlike traditional data sources, Big Data applications present their own unique challenges in order to appropriately harness the utility of open source frameworks including Apache Hadoop and design patterns such as Map – Reduce. Through these advances, Big Data has become ubiquitous across all areas of research allowing for new applications that were not possible earlier.

 

The Tutorial and Workshop on Semantic Computing in Big Data (SCBD 2013) consists of a half-day tutorial and a half-day workshop to be held in conjunction with the 8th Semantic Computing (ICSC2014) on June 16, 2014. The tutorial will specifically step each student though the installation, setup and implementation of Hadoop architecture on Amazon Web Services. The tutorial will include installation and application of the HIVE and PIG query languages as well as Machine Learning packages such as Apache Mahout. Additional Hadoop-based frameworks will be explored as well as an exploration of custom Map Reduce programming relying on Hadoop Streaming I/O and the Python programming language. Overall architecture design will also be explored as well as the future direction of the Big Data software suite. The workshop will consist of presentations of invited papers and peer-reviewed papers.
