Hello <<Salutation>> Reader,
Welcome to the third ISC Big Data newsletter! In this issue, we are excited to present the recent interview our conference chair, Sverre Jarp had with our Monday keynote speaker, Dirk Slama, whose presentation will be about the Internet of Things (IoT).
Dirk is responsible for shaping the IoT strategy at Bosch Software Innovation. He is also the conference chair of the Bosch ConnectedWorld and is known for his excellent speaking skills. He has also co-authored three successful books: Enterprise BPM, Enterprise SOA and Enterprise CORBA.
We would also like to bring to your attention the EUDAT training program, and the BIG Workshop, which will take place a day before the conference, on September 30. Pre-registration is required for both events. Please continue reading to find out more.

A Look at the Future of Internet of Things
 Carrying out its vision for the Internet of Things, Bosch Software Innovation founded the Bosch IoT Lab at University St. Gallen in Switzerland in 2012 to research topics related to connected mobility and the smart home. This year, ISC Big Data has invited Dirk Slama, the Director of Business Development at Bosch Software Innovation, to talk about the latest developments surrounding the Internet of Things.
In his keynote presentation on October 1, Slama will be focusing on how the IoT is enabling new business models and services, stressing particularly on the key success factors and present a framework that he believes will help enable that success. To put the topic into a broader perspective, ISC Big Data conference chair, Sverre Jarp caught up with Slama.
Sverre Jarp: How do you think the Internet of Things (IoT) will change the way the internet infrastructure evolves?
Dirk Slama: First of all, we have to ask ourselves – how much of the Internet of Things is really going to happen in “the Internet”. Many industrial IoT applications are not going to rely on the public Internet infrastructure. They will leverage IP technologies, for sure, but they will build out their own, private network infrastructure for mission-critical IoT applications such as smart grids, traffic management, and drone-based transportation networks.
However, for those IoT applications which rely on the “open” Internet, a more widespread adoption of IP v6 will be a prerequisite, given that the predictions for connected devices in this part of the IoT exceed by far the 4.3 billion unique addresses supported by IP v4.
However, just a few days ago, on August 13, we saw significant Internet outages when a large US carrier accidentally added too many new routing entries to the global routing table, exceeding the limitations of many older, IP v4 based routers. So there is still some work to be done here.

Big Data Public Private Forum Project Final Event
 In this workshop on September 30, the organizers will present the results of BIG, the Big Data Public Private Forum project. The presenters will describe the analysis of foundational big data research technologies, technology and strategy roadmaps to enable business to understand the potential of big data across different sectors, and the necessary collaboration and dissemination infrastructure to link technology suppliers, integrators and leading user organizations.
BIG’s mission is to build an industrial community around big data in Europe. The project’s main task is to set up the Big Data Public Private Forum, an ecosystem that will bring together all the relevant stakeholders needed to realize a data-driven society in 2020.
BIG is also working towards the definition and implementation of a clear strategy that tackles the necessary efforts in terms of big data research and innovation, while providing a major boost for technology adoption and supporting actions for the successful implementation of the big data economy.

What Previous Attendees Say
“The ISC Big Data conference achieved what no other conferences have to date: to bring the HPC and the big data parties to a common table for an open discussion on mutual collaboration and further shared research and development. The effects of this collaboration can help foster a breakthrough, where big data technologies become more efficient and HPC turns to widespread commercial use, in a unified set of solutions covering a wide range of big data analytics, graph processing, simulations and predictive modeling.”

EUDAT’s goal is to build a Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) as a pan-European solution to the challenge of data proliferation in Europe’s scientific and research communities. The CDI will allow researchers to share data within and between communities and enable them to carry out their research more effectively. Its mission is to provide a solution that will be affordable, trustworthy, robust, persistent, open and easy to use.
The HPC Advisory Council and the University of Cantabria will host the HPC Advisory Council Spain Conference 2014 at the Aula Magna de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Cantabria in Santander, Spain on September 24, 2014.
