Episode 13 - Part 1: Q&A with Dr. David Belanger, chair of the IEEE Big Data Initiative; and Kathy Grise, program director for the IEEE Big Data Initiative

Big Data isn't what it was 10 years ago. We're starting to see its evolution, as it permeates all industries and influences how businesses make decisions. And Big Data can be different things industry by industry. For professional sports, teams are wanting more insight on player performance and game location. For electric utilities, companies are gathering data associated with outages to help better serve customers. As our 13th episode of the IEEE Big Data Podcast, this is part one of a two-part series--both Dr. Belanger and Ms. Grise offer their perspectives on the "why" behind Big Data and how that influences where it is today. And as you'll hear in this unique podcast, both industry experts offer perspectives that can help businesses steer their Big Data priorities into new and profitable directions.

Episode 12 - Part 2: Q&A with Professor Sorel Reisman, chair of the Standing Committee for IEEE COMPSAC; and Professor Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed, chair of the COMPSAC Steering Committee

We continue our podcast series from Turin, Italy at IEEE COMPSAC 2017! For this part two edition, Professor Sorel Reisman and Professor Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed continue their engaging discussion on global disruptive technologies today and in the future and which among them will have the greatest impact, including drone technology, robotics and more. Both experts address Big Data’s impact on current and future tech, weaving in ethical dimensions, standards, and use of data. In addition, they discuss the theme for IEEE COMPSAC 2018 to be held in Tokyo, Japan.

Episode 12 - Part 1: Q&A with Professor Sorel Reisman, chair of the Standing Committee for IEEE COMPSAC; and Professor Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed, chair of the COMPSAC Steering Committee

During IEEE COMPSAC 2017 in Turin, Italy, Professor Sorel Reisman and Professor Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed jointly discussed global disruptive technologies today and in the future and which among them will have the greatest impact—all for the IEEE Big Data Podcast, in a two-part series. Both are Big Data experts and provide a very unique perspective on some of Big Data’s impact on current and future tech, along with key considerations. And of course both met the challenge by not only delivering the Big Data element to COMPSAC 2017 but also for this podcast interview. Even better, having both in the same room to provide this podcast's rare recorded commentary was a treat. Give this episode a listen as you pay close attention to what Dr. Reisman and Dr. Ahamed have to say about the impacts of Big Data and more!

Episode 11: Q&A with Dr. K. J. Ray Liu, the lead for IEEE DataPort™, IEEE Division IX Director, and Christine Kim Eminent Professor of Information Technology at University of Maryland

IEEE has launched a one-of-a-kind online resource called IEEE DataPort™ designed to make storage of datasets easier, provide access to valuable datasets across a broad scope of topics, facilitate analysis of datasets, and retain referenceable data for reproducible research. This podcast episode features Dr. K. J. Ray Liu--the lead for IEEE DataPort. As a new industry resource, IEEE DataPort is an easily accessible repository of datasets, including Big Data datasets and data analysis tools. As the key takeaway in this podcast, Dr. Liu’s message is to invite industry participation by supplying IEEE DataPort™ with valuable datasets that can be analyzed to advance technology.

Episode 10: Q&A with Dr. Atilla Elci, Professor and Chairman of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department at Ahksaray University in Turkey

The Internet of Things has activated an array of data sources. It's forecasted that there will be somewhere between 20 to 30 billion connected devices by 2020, thanks to IoT. But think of the data that is born from all these devices on a daily basis. Where does it go? How is it analyzed? Who analyzes it? Better yet, what's to be concluded from these bits of data floating around in the IoT stratosphere? Dr. Atilla Elci is on the job. Dr. Elci is the Professor and Chairman of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department at Ahksaray University in Turkey. His interest in web semantics, agent-based systems, robotics, machine learning, knowledge representation and ontology, information security, and software engineering all connect to big data in some form or fashion. All these data sources weren't invented over night, as Dr. Elci suggests in this podcast installment—think of it more as inventing how they connect to each other. That's where IoT has found its success.

Episode 9: Q&A with Dr. May Wang, Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Director of the Biocomputing and Bioinformatics Core in the Emory-Georgia Tech Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence

Big data thrives in the healthcare industry. From patient information to medicinal studies, the data that stems from all the elements of healthcare is immense. To further advance and accelerate the translation of biomedical discovery, development and delivery through comprehensive biomedical and health informatics, we find Dr. May Wang at the helm. As the Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Director of the Biocomputing and Bioinformatics Core in the Emory-Georgia Tech Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence, Dr. Wang's career centers on biocomputing, bioinformatics and biomedical big data analytics. And what does she hope to find in this onslaught of all this healthcare data? Cancer cures, hopefully. Her primary research interests center on biomedical and health informatics for systems medicine; in this podcast episode, she explains how big data intersects with these important areas of healthcare and what we might see in the future as the industry evolves.

Episode 8: Q&A with Dr. Ling Liu, Full Professor in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology

To understand the power of big data, we must understand its roots in computing. Among the world's greatest computing scholars—and one of the few people who can explain it best—is Dr. Ling Liu, full professor in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Liu directs the research programs at the Distributed Data Intensive Systems Lab, which examines the performance, security, privacy and data management issues in large scale distributed systems, cloud data centers and big data technology. Dr. Liu's work revolves around big data. Her research is primarily sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, IBM, and Intel—all big players in the big data space. In this installment of the IEEE Big Data podcast, Dr. Liu shares her opinions on big data and security. And the computing industry must answer the call to help fortify what has become the life-blood of just about every industry around the globe: information.
