EURA NOVA is thrilled to share the news with you: we are organizing our second workshop collocated with the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Big Data. The workshop will take place in December in Boston, MA, USA.   Stream processing and real-time analytics have caught the interest of the industry lately. Many use cases are waiting for relevant and efficient solutions to be developed. Such use cases include event-driven marketing, dynamic network management & optimization, real-time recommendation, context-aware applications and real-time fraud detection.   After the success of the first edition, this is an excellent opportunity to bring together the industry and academics  to discuss, to explore and to refine new opportunities and use cases in the area. The workshop will benefit  both researchers and practitioners interested in the latest research in real-time and stream processing. The workshop will showcase prototypes and products leveraging big data technologies as well as models, efficient algorithms for scalable complex event processors and context detection engines, or new architecture leveraging stream processing. Want to submit a paper? Check out the workshop website to find all the information you  will need. Your paper will be reviewed by a prestigious panel of international experts from both the academic and the industrial worlds.

  After launching our first bootcamp, we are organising our first workshop colocated with IEEE conference. The workshop will take place in December in Washington D.C. and will bring together industrial and academic stakeholders to discuss, explore and refine new opportunities and use cases in the area of stream processing and real-time analytics in big data. Indeed, stream processing and real-time analytics have caught the interest of the industry lately. Many use cases are waiting for relevant and efficient solutions to be developed. Such use cases include event-driven marketing, dynamic network management & optimization, real-time recommendation, context-aware applications and real-time fraud detection. The workshop will showcase prototypes or products leveraging big data technologies as well as models and efficient algorithms for scalable complex event processors and context detection engines. Here is a short list of research topics to inspire you : New stream processing architecture for big data. Complex event processing for big data, pattern matching engines for big data. Scalable real-time decision algorithms. Scalable stream processing architecture, algorithms or models. Stream SQL and other continuous query languages on big data frameworks. Algorithms for high-speed data stream mining. On-line/incremental learning on data streams. Your paper will be reviewed by a panel of academic as well as industrial experts.   Find more information about program co-chairs and members on the workshop website and submit your paper to join the Euranovian pack! Don’t miss the chance to be part of an IEEE conference and to see Washington under the snow.    

The first edition of Flink Forward took place past October 12th and 13th in Berlin. Flink Forward is two-day conference exclusively dedicated to Apache Flink, the distributed pipelined batch and streaming processing framework. EURA NOVA was present among the speakers of the event (http://flink-forward.org/?session=stale-synchronous-parallel-iterations-on-flink). Here is the talk we presented.

This year we had the opportunity to publish a paper, DISTRIBUTED FRANK-WOLFE UNDER PIPELINED STALE SYNCHRONOUS PARALLELISM, at the IEEE Big Data conference at Santa Clara, CA. This was an excellent opportunity to write a short summary on the trends in the big data area and our personal feelings after one week under the sun with Tacos and Enchiladas.
