The CCC “Big Data Computing Study Group” helped organize two adjacent events in Sunnyvale in March: the “Hadoop Summit” and the “Data-Intensive Scalable Computing (DISC) Symposium”. The Hadoop Summit was an open event, hosted by Yahoo! Research. Its goal was to build a community among users of the open-source Hadoop software suite for distributed programming in the map-reduce style.

The presentations at the Hadoop Summit were fascinating. While they varied greatly in technical depth, in total they gave a sense […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
