We use HBa se for storing raw events\, for feeding the analysis processes\, and ser ving the generated reports. We use Hadoop Mapreduce for ad-hoc analysis and moving large amounts of data\; we'll talk about why it's unsuitable for the kind of near-real-time incremental analysis that we do. \;\n& #13\;\nFor the data scientists\, we'll talk about our data set and types of analyses we'd like to do.

Big data involves huge data sets\, coming in at different speeds\, from all directions. Everyday\, we create 2.5 quintillion byte s of data online. All that data (a quintillion has 30 zeros) comes from social media\, digital pictures\, purchase transactions\, and elsewhere on the web. \;\nThis kind of data sinks traditional database systems. To analyze the data\, we need fancier systems. That’s why IBM Watson wo n Jeopardy\, but Siri continues to drive us crazy with her analytical sh ortcomings. \;\n \;\nPredictive analytics can figure out how to l and on Mars\, but it cannot predict who will buy a Mars bar.

They would all have increased acc ess to information! Our individual perspectives can bring about new insi ghts where each team member stands to gain from finding their own perspe ctive pattern in the data. \;\n \;\nOur goal is to democratize dat a\, to put the data exploration and discovery into the hands of the many . \;\n \;\nIn this event\, we intend to fully involve the audience and have a personalized discussion on this novel new way to see the sam e data from different perspectives.

She has 15 year s of experience working with code and customers to build scalable data a rchitectures\, integrating relational and big data technologies. Gwen cu rrently specializes in building real-time reliable data-processing pipel ines using Apache Kafka. Gwen is an Oracle Ace Director\, the coauthor o f Hadoop Application Architectures\, and a frequent presenter at industr y conferences. She is also a committer on Apache Kafka and Apache Sqoop. When Gwen isn’t coding or building data pipelines\, you can find her pe daling her bike\, exploring the roads and trails of California and beyon d. Title:Stream All Things - Patterns of Modern Data Integration Abstrac t:80% of the time in every project is spent on data integration: Getting the data you want the way you want it. This problem remains challenging despite 40 years of attempts to solve it. We want a reliable\, low late ncy system that can handle varied data from wide range of data managemen t systems. We want a solution that is easy to manage and easy to scale. Is it too much to ask? In this presentation\, we’ll discuss the basic ch allenges of data integration and introduce design and architecture patte rns that are used to tackle these challenges. We will explore how these patterns can be implemented using Apache Kafka and share pragmatic solut ions that many engineering organizations used to build fast\, scalable a nd manageable data pipelines. ----- Special thanks to WeWork Custom Hous e who are hosting us for this event.

\, \;\nModerator: Bud B orja (CGI). \;\n \;\nThe idea of Smart Cities has been around f or a while. It encapsulates how technology is going to transform the way we interact with City government &\; infrastructure\, local business es and our communities. It is very exciting to consider all the transfor mational possibilities when cities are digitally enabled\, as well as th e impact of emerging technology such as self-driving cars on the City ad ministrative model and the local economy. But what are the barriers to r ealizing this future? Which cities are having successes and which are ha ving failures? How about our own City of Portland and other cities in th e metropolitan area? \;\n \;\n
Join us for the SIM Portland April 2018 meeting when we will review what is happening with IT and Smart Ci ties. We will have a panel of thought leaders speaking on NextGen wired and wireless network\, Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors\, autonomous vehicles\, as well as big data &\; visualization. Come learn what ne w opportunities and challenges are here today and on the horizon. 

 \;\n \;\nKey topics that will be explored include\,
 \;\n \;\ n• Review of Smart Cities planning and strategies to date. \;\n• Ma jor technology areas being tackled by Smart Cities groups and collaborat ions. \;\n• Examples of Smart Cities projects successes and failure s. \;\n• What does this all mean to IT leadership?

TOPIC: Amazon S umerian - Create and Host Immersive AR and VR Content for the 3D Web\, u sing only a Web Browser. Presenters:• Dennis Baker\, KinderCare Educatio n • Kyle Roche\, General Manager\, Amazon Sumerian Schedule: • 6:00 PM: Check-in and Happy Hour • 6:30 PM: Demo and Deep Dive • 7:45 PM: Q&\; A A special thanks to our host KinderCare Education. Headquartered in Po rtland\, KinderCare Education is an experience-based provider of early e ducation and child care\, serving 170\,000 children and their families a cross the country every day. https://aws.amazon.com/sumerian/http://www. kc-education.com/ Details:Take yourself back to 1998\, when the first we bsites were being built. What tool did they use? For many it was a tool like Dreamweaver: expensive\, complex\, on-premise software. Fast forwar d to 2018. What do people use now? Tools like Wordpress\, Wix\, Weebly a nd Shopify. These tools are cloud-based\, pay-as-you-go\, and simple yet powerful. Content creation for the 3D web (including AR and VR) is high friction today. Businesses have devices and problems to solve but the c ontent creation tools feel like we’re stuck in the 90’s. Kyle Roche\, GM of AR/VR at Amazon Web Services\, will discuss how AWS leverages their cloud offerings to simplify content creation for the 3D web.
