SUMMARY: Large-Scale Data Processing (What is Big Data?) - Eiko Yoneki (Un
 iversity of Cambridge)

DESCRIPTION:This talk is a digest of the 2012 Summer School Tutorial on 'L
 arge Scale Data Processing' at the University of Oxford. The emergence of 
 big data requires fundamental new methodology for data analysis\, processi
 ng\, and information extraction. The main challenge here is to perform eff
 icient and robust data processing\, while adapting to the underlying resou
 rce availability in a dynamic\, large-scale computing environment. I will 
 introduce large-scale data processing from various perspectives: what and 
 why large data\, what technologies apply to big data\, what are the main c
 hallenges\, what analytics can be performed on big data\, and what are fut
 ure directions including the emergence of large scale graph data processin
