Mosaics in Big Data - Stratosphere, Apache Flink, and Beyond

ABSTRACT: The global database research community has greatly impacted the functionality and performance of data storage and processing systems along the dimensions that define “big data”, i.e., volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Locally, over the past five years, we have also been working on varying fronts. Among our contributions are: (1) establishing a vision for a database-inspired big data analytics system, which unifies the best of database and distributed systems technologies, and augments it with concepts drawn from compilers (e.g., iterations) and data stream processing, as well as (2) forming a community of researchers and institutions to create the Stratosphere platform to realize our vision. One major result from these activities was Apache Flink, an open-source big data analytics platform and its thriving global community of developers and production users. Although much progress has been made, when looking at the overall big data stack, a major challenge for database research community still remains. That is, how to maintain the ease-of-use despite the increasing heterogeneity and complexity of data analytics, involving specialized engines for various aspects of an end-to-end data analytics pipeline, including, among others, graph-based, linear algebra-based, and relational-based algorithms, and the underlying, increasingly heterogeneous hardware and computing infrastructure. At TU Berlin, DFKI, and the Berlin Big Data Center (BBDC), we aim to advance research in this field via the Mosaics project. Our goal is to remedy some of the heterogeneity challenges that hamper developer productivity and limit the use of data science technologies to just the privileged few, who are coveted experts.

Simulation-based analysis of the impacts of autonomous vehicle fleets on urban transport

ABSTRACT: Being able to run vehicles without drivers would make it cost-effective to have fleets of relatively small vehicles possibly replacing both individually owned cars and parts of the current public transit system. It is possible to simulate this microscopically, with tracing both synthetic vehicles and synthetic travellers through the simulation. This presentation shows results of simulations of different urban areas including the Berlin metropolitan area with respect to possible impacts of shared driverless vehicles.

Social Event

Excursion with Dinner, September 25, 6pm

The excursion will be a 3 hour boat cruise with the MS Pauline along the Landwehrkanal and the Spree River which will take place on September 25 at 6pm. More information can be found here and here.
During the cruise there will be a barbecue buffet. Also included are the following beverages: soft drinks, beer, wine and sparkling wine. If you want to drink something else, you have to pay it yourself.

MS Pauline is located at Straße des 17. Juni 113 (beside the Restaurantschiff Capt'n Schillow) which is just a 5 minute walk from the math building.

You can either walk to MS Pauline by yourself (make sure that you arrive there on time before 6pm!) or you can join the group that meets before the math building at 5:40pm and walks there together.
