• Life After Sharding: Monitoring and Managing a Complex Data Cloud

  by Boris Livshutz

  Data systems have struggled to keep up with the rapid growth of application data. As a result, many have turned to sharding their data as a solution. These new complex systems or "data clouds" present a new array of challenges. In this session we'll discuss best practices around monitoring and managing your data cloud.

• Hiding Data Kills Innovation

  by Gil Elbaz

  Hiding data in a siilo no longer needs to be the status quo. Indeed, this presentation argues that it shouldn’t be. In this presentation, Gil Elbaz will discuss the detriments of hiding data and the relationship between data accessibility and innovation.

• How to Write Compilers and Optimizers (and solve Data Transformation Problems)

  by Shevek .

  Compilers don't just turn C into binary, they transform data, and the optimizer is a critical decision-maker in the process. If we understand both, we can often solve tedious data transformation, scheduling or logic problems with very little effort. This presentation will teach you the magic, and convey a wealth of experience. Attendees have been known to subsequently write compilers.

• Sensor Network Data Collection and Storage

  by Charles Bell

  Building sensor networks, while challenging, can be a data rich endeavor. But what do you do with all of the data you collect? How do you store and make sense of the results? Where do you store the information? This session explores the options available and demonstrates how to store the data in a database system for easy retrieval.

• Using the Open Geospatial Web

  by Andrew Turner

  The Geospatial Web has grown from a niche of government and expensive commercial vendors to a broad and open ecosystem of data, tools, and formats that are easily accessible by anyone to analyze, visualize, and even update. This talk will cover the tools and capabilities of open geospatial tools as well as technical side of open geospatial formats and great sources of open geodata.
