The most recent installment of the Federal Big Data Summit, held on December 8, 2015, included four MITRE-ATARC (Advanced Technology Academic Research Center) Collaboration Sessions.
These collaboration sessions allowed industry, academic, government, and MITRE representatives the opportunity to collaborate and discuss challenges the government faces in big data research and technologies. The goal of these sessions is to create a forum to exchange ideas and develop recommendations to further the adoption and advancement of big data techniques and best practices within the government.
Participants representing government, industry, and academia addressed four challenge areas in big data: Governance in Big Data, Big Data Integration and Management, Architecting Systems for Big Data, and Data Science and Scientists.
