Current Issues in Data Mining, Wednesday 5/4/2016

Data Mining is an area of computer science that studies the problem of discovering interesting or meaningful patterns in large data sets, and develops knowledge out of the discovered patterns. With the advancement of computing technologies, the importance of data mining has increased. In this event, three renowned data mining experts will present their cutting-edge research in data mining. The talks will be useful for those who are interested in getting a glimpse of data mining, and those who are interested in using data mining technologies for their research.

New Storage System Simplifies Data Sharing

The Sunshine State Education and Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) has partnered with DDN Data Direct Networks to create a system that allows members of SSERCA to securely share data with speed and ease. This partnership has produced a high-performance storage system for member institutions like the University of Florida (UF), University of Central Florida, and University of Miami. The system allows each institution to use their own identity management system and store data with multiple options for security and replication.

Distinguished Speaker: Arden Bement, Monday 11/3/2014

The dramatic and terrifying events that occurred during the first decade of the 21st Century drew in the scientific and engineering resources of the nation in many ways. For example, NIST responded by conducting an exhaustive study of the World Trade Center building collapses and produced standards for biometric identification, mail irradiations to detoxify anthrax, nuclear material detectors at U.S. borders, and protective measures against cyber attacks. NSF responded by supporting research interrupted by Hurricane Katrina and modeling the several violent natural disasters that occurred during the decade.
