EE 598: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH SEMINAR 2

Speaker: Dr. Vikram Sorathia, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Electrical Engineering Systems, USC Viterbi School of Engineering

Talk Title: Big Data Integration and Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities

Series: EE598 Seminar Course

Abstract: Big data is popularly characterized using 3Vs: variety, volume, and velocity- indicating the heterogeneity of involved datasets, scales at which data is generated, and urgency in analysis. Prevailing definitions of big data also highlight the inability of current technologies in addressing these three requirements, thereby opening up new research challenges and opportunities for research community. This seminar will address complex interdependence issues currently faced by the big data community, particularly focusing on data integration and processing requirements related to textual, spatial, temporal, relational, multi-media, and graph data models that require novel storage, analysis and computation platforms.

Biography: Vikram Sorathia is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Electrical Engineering Systems department in Viterbi School of Engineering of University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He is managing Integrated Optimization (IO) project at the Center for Interactive Smart Oilfield Technologies (CiSoft). His research interests are in the areas of big data, complex event processing, knowledge management, services science and software architecture frameworks. Before joining USC, he was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Twente in the Netherlands. He received his PhD degree from the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), India in 2009.
