Data is more difficult to understand than text, let alone Big Data, and Big data is driving cloud computing now. Computation virtualization is not enough for big data, both data virtualization and communication virtualization are also necessary in order to make true Real-time Big Velocity Stream Computing happen We believe the true innovation lies on algorithmic innovation, not just hardware innovation or software innovation. Right now algorithm creation is an art instead of a science, and we f …

This group is dedicated to bringing the institutions and practices that constitute science into the 21st century. In recent decades, many disturbing trends have emerged that impede free scientific inquiry, slow lifesaving research, and otherwise impair the practice of science for the benefit of all humanity. Recently, the fledgling, International Open Science Movement has rallied around the promise of networked knowledge sharing possibilities. New P2P tools and paradigms enable science to fin …

BlueKai invites you to join our engineering team for bi-monthly Tech Talks. We provide the beer and pizza, and you provide the questions.

Do you know the way to San Jose ... on your bike (1.5 - 2 hour ride)? Join in with your fellow hadoopers for a pre-Summit morning ride from the convention out to the east bay hills exploring the landscape. This will be a no rider left behind ~25 mile loop, leaving at 5:30am from Marriott Hotel. Be prepared for a challenging climb with a breezy descent afterwards. This will be a fun way to commune with your fellow Hadoop cyclist, so don't hesitate to come and challenge yourself a bit. This is a g …

Each month we will have a startup engineer or entrepreneur share technology tips, and tricks that helped build their business.

This is a spin-off of the Bay Area Software Quality Group which has stagnated over the past several months. The purpose of this group is to discuss all things regarding software quality engineering. This includes automation, unit testing, exploratory testing, load/performance testing and any other type of testing strategy that comes up. Although this group is centered on test engineers, there should be plenty of valuable data for others within the software development ecosystem.

Computer scientists, biologists, system biologists and anyone interested in the new world of computational biology: Get together for conversations about the most fascinating topics you can think of, the new frontiers of what hackers can do in the life sciences. Look for entrepreneurs, co-founders, co-workers, research connections or just an enjoyable evening with stimulating new ideas. We may have topical presentations and a larger venue in the future. Let's just see what ideas people will have.

How mindful are you? Do you remember people's names when you meet them? Do you remember where you parked your car, your house keys? Are you able to learn, listen, read, think quickly? Do you know the law of attraction? Are you your own life's master? Are you someone who gathers insight directly from the universe? Let me introduce myself, I am Aditya Mittal, and I am the author of 'Let Your Mind See'. I have studied at Stanford, worked at NASA and as Business Intelligence Data team lead at a mobi …

CLINE was established to encourage and facilitate the scientific exploration of the intersection of computation, language, information, complexity, and intelligence as they are influenced by, and influence, the process of evolution. Of particular interest to this group is the development of self-evolving systems. The assumption is that apex systems evolve toward greater and greater complexity-handling capacity. Some call this "artificial intelligence," but we have trouble with the term as it: 1 …

We'll discuss different kinds of algorithms. First, we'll try to understand basic algorithms. We'll also discuss simple puzzles and brain teasers. If you are not from mathematical background, you'll find it simple and if you are from computer science, you'll find it interesting. You can also post any algorithms you want to discuss in particular. Learning Practical Applications: We'll try to understand algorithms practical applications. The challenge is not to write complex algorithms but to …
