Speakers presented some impressive examples of large data research focuses, which are swimming in oceans of ever expanding data. Two presenters, Dr. Jill Mesirov (MIT &Harvard) and Dr. Alex Szalay (John Hopkins), talked about their respective science areas, how these fields are evolving with new technology, and how that is presenting new issues for managing exponential increases in data volumes. Jeannette Wing (NSF) introduced the Google/IBM/NSF partnership as a new and welcome innovation initiated by industry. Dr. Randy Bryant closed the session with the sentiment that services like those from Amazon EC2/S3 could lead to academia’s rethinking HPC ownership. A complete speaker agenda along with abstracts can be found here and detailed summaries of the talks can be found here. [...] [...] The symposium was well attended by many distinguished participants.
