After a two-year effort, the US National Research Council’s Committee on the Analysis of Massive Data has released their final report, entitled “Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis”. The effort includes perspectives from Statistics, Databases, Machine Learning, Systems and includes input from both industry and academia. AMPLab’s Michael Jordan and Michael Franklin both served on the committee; Jordan served as committee chair.
Information about the report is available at http://www.nap.edu/
The main chapters of the report are:
Massive Data in Science, Technology, Commerce, National Defense, Telecommunications, and Other Endeavors
Scaling the Infrastructure for Data Management
Temporal Data and Real-time Algorithms
Large-Scale Data Representations
Resources, Trade-offs, and Limitations
Building Models from Massive Data
Sampling and Massive Data
Human Interaction with Data
The Seven Computational Giants of Massive Data Analysis
