| Abstract | The datacenters that form the core engines for transporting, persisting and transforming data are not merely the major building blocks of the "Cloud". They are more akin to "alchemical" data foundries that transform raw bits of data to the gold of information, content and the derived knowledge services that we have come to expect and desire so voraciously. These services help extend our minds and our cognitive powers so we can construct and live in "smarter" learning and living environments. Societies that learn and live smarter will advance faster to give higher meaning to human life and endeavours. How did these data foundries come into being? What forces gave rise to them? What special problems do they solve? Why are they necessary? What are the limits and challenges they face? How will science, technology and other human institutions color the advance of the datacenters, and will be colored by them? Studying possible answers to these questions and exploring possible future scenarios will help us see what lies around the corner from where we are today.The challenges of networking, data storage, computing and power efficiency and effective user interface remain core to the design of data foundries. Other challenges which are much harder to comprehend and resolve have to do with the interaction of these new technologies with social and economic realities. Advances are required in a multitude of dimensions to produce next-generation datacenter systems and architectures.Bio: Dr. Masood Mortazavi is a distinguished engineer and the senior director of IT Research Department at Huawei Technologies, US R&D Center. Earlier, Masood was senior principle architect at Yahoo's Cloud Infrastructure Group. He led multiple advanced projects related to automatic elasticity systems, cloud services architecture, automatic and adaptive controllers for salability of infrastructure services, multi-petabyte distributed databases, structured and unstructured storage, scalable messaging and application container services. He has published and spoken internationally on NoSQL databases, multi-tenancy, big data and privacy. Masood led an international group of engineers at Sun Microsystems, focused on the development of open-source software, including databases such as Apache Derby, PostgreSQL and MySQL. At Huawei's Innovation Center in Santa Clara, Masood leads a team of researchers focused on next-generation data centers, distributed systems, databases, file systems and digital archives. 09:00 09:15 SenseApp: Welcome Room: Gulf Room Chair: Csaba Kiraly (Bruno Kessler Foundation, Italy) 09:00 10:30 WNM: Session 1 |
