Following the initiative by Dr Eerke Boiten and others in establishing a Big Data research group, he and Prof Andy Fearne are planning a ‘Big Data Away Day’ on Friday 16 January.
The objective of this day is to define a number of specific research areas for unique and ideally interdisciplinary big data research at Kent.
There are three things for you to do if you want to be involved.
- Reserve the date in your diary.
- Set out your stall on big data research ambitions. Make sure you have more than just your name at www.cyber.kent.ac.uk/bigdata/ – a paragraph, a presentation, or a link to your specific ideas on this (not to generic web presence). What is your interest: using big data techniques, developing them, studying them from a particular perspective? What datasets do you use or aim to use that could also be of interest to others?
- Help us think about the best way to be productive on the day against our objective. (Is the objective quite right?)
