- Summary
Description
This session will be organized by TF6 SG7. The goal of the session is to discuss and promote benchmarking (especially for Big Data platforms) with a focus on European stakeholders. The session will hence focus on:
- Unveiling key requirements and results gathered over the last three years of Big Data benchmarking at a European scale
- Gathering future needs, trends and directions for benchmarking from a European perspective. Interactive presentations (powered by tools such as Mentimeter) will be combined with discussions in an open workshop-like atmosphere. We foresee the following structure (subject to
changes):- Introduction and BDVA reference model
- European benchmarking efforts and best practices (HOBBIT, DataBench, LDBC, etc.)
- Application areas (societal challenges, IOT, smart cities, smart homes, etc.)
- Future trends
- Key areas interaction will include the completion of existing models, current practical challenges faced by European stakeholders and current trends (especially in societal challenges). The objectives of the session include:
- Present the current offering of TF6 SG7
- Monitor current development in benchmarking (especially in Europe)
- Collect real needs from varied stakeholders pertaining to benchmarking that really matters
for their systems - Discover new avenues of research/use for benchmarking technologies
Speakers
Arne Jørgen Berre
Arne is working with Digital Platforms and Systems Interoperability, with focus on Big Data and processing support for Analytics/AI/Machine Learning. Chief Scientist at SINTEF Digital, Department for Software and Service Innovation, Group for Smart Data. The leader of BDVA (Big Data Value Association) TF6 Technical Priorities, GEMINI Center for Big Data with SINTEF, NTNU and UiO and SINTEF BigLearn on Big Data and Machine Learning.
Axel Ngonga
Axel is a professor for data science at Paderborn University, where he leads the DICE research group. His work focuses on all aspects of processing knowledge and data at scale. He and his team have developed dozens of frameworks for the extraction, integration, querying, analysis, use and benchmarking of knowledge bases and knowledge graphs. Over the last 10 years, Axel has published more than 200 international peer-reviewed publications and received more than 20 awards for his research, including the Next Einstein Fellowship.
Peter Boncz
My professional experience encompasses: Software development (C/C++/Java/J2EE), Software Development methodologies (DSDM, Rational), Software Architecture (DBMS, CRM systems), Teaching (University), creating successful start-up companies in data management, Project Management (both commercial and scientific), Advising Ph.D. students and M.Sc. students, Technical Writing (both in the publishing industry, as well as in science – see my Scientific Publications website), Scientific Project Acquisition. As a computer scientist, I often serve in program committees of the major international conferences (ACM SIGMOD, VLDB, IEEE ICDE) in my field (database systems) as well as the referee for the major journal publications (ACM TODS, VLDB Journal, IEEE TKDE). I have also organized science workshops in this area (twice the DaMoN workshop at SIGMOD, as well as the DBDBD in .nl/.be). I am a regular speaker on data management topics, both to science and industry audiences. I have a strong specialization in engineering database systems. I have designed and implemented multiple database kernels, both relational and XML, inclusive query processing and transaction management. My unique technical expertise is an insight into the interaction between high-performance data management and computer architecture.
Gabriella Cattaneo
