Sessions
Hadoop Summit Europe 2013 will feature over 28 sessions and 4 tracks dedicated to enabling the next generation data platform. Industry experts, business leaders, architects, data scientists and Hadoop developers will share use cases and success stories, best practices, cautionary tales and technology insights.
Tracks are divided into 4 key topics, which will cover:
Applied Hadoop
Sessions in this track focus on applications, tools, algorithms and data science as well as areas of advanced research and emerging applications that use and extend the Hadoop platform. Sessions will cover examples of innovative data processing applications and algorithms for performing the most common statistical analysis as well as supporting the latest advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Operating Hadoop
This track focuses on the deployment and operations of Hadoop clusters with an emphasis on tips, tricks, and best practices. Sessions will cover the full deployment lifecycle from installation, configuration, and initial production deployment to large-scale roll out. Reference architectures that maximize performance while minimizing costs will also be covered.
Hadoop Futures
This track takes a technical look at the key open source projects and research efforts driving innovation in and around the Hadoop platform. Attendees will hear from the technical leads, committers, and expert users who are actively driving the roadmaps, key features, and advanced technology research.
Integrating Hadoop
For many, Hadoop success will largely depend on the ability to integrate with existing data-driven and data management technologies. No matter if it is streaming, batch or real time interaction, these integration points are what exposes the value of Hadoop to the rest of the enterprise. This track focuses on Hadoop + enterprise (in particular databases, data warehouses, NoSQL, etc.). Sessions will explore these key integration points and will provide deployment and production examples of successful Hadoop integration within the enterprise today.
