1. Data Deluge Challenges and Opportunities Vipin Kumar University of Minnesota http://www.cs.umn.edu/~kumar Infosys Aurora – August 2011

2. Large-scale Data is Everywhere!  Enormous growth in data due to advances in technologies  New mantra  Gather whatever data you can whenever and wherever possible.  Expectations  Gathered data will have value either for the purpose collected or for a purpose not envisioned. Sensor Networks Geo-spatial data Homeland SecurityBanking/e-commerce

3. Great Opportunities to Solve Society’s Major Problems Improving health care and reducing costs Finding alternative/ green energy sources Predicting the impact of climate change Reducing hunger and poverty by increasing agriculture production

5. Business Opportunities in Healthcare Personalized medicine -‘One drug does not fit all’ Pharmacogenomics -Adverse drug reaction -106,000 deaths by the ADR each year in USA Application of ICT -Use cloud computing to build infrastructure. -Facilitate secure exchange of messages across care provider, insurer, patients. Remote monitoring - Chronic and older patients. http://www-fgg.eur.nl/ch1/cellbiology/patrinos/ http://www.microsoft.com/health/ww/initiatives/Pages/cloud-services-for-healthcare.aspx http://www.medapps.com/AboutUs.html

6. Challenges for integrating diverse data Proteomics/ Metabolomics Genetics/ epigenetics Tumor information Gene expression Lab test results Integrate by multi-variate models Individualized medicine Family history Modern imaging Medical record Demographic data Decision making algorithm Clinical variables

7. Automated Land-change Evaluation, Reporting and Tracking System (ALERTS) Planetary Information System for assessment of ecosystem disturbances: Forest fires, droughts, floods, logging/deforestation, conversion to agriculture This system will help quantify the carbon impact of these changes Understand the relationship to global climate variability and human activity Provide ubiquitous web-based access to changes occurring across the globe, creating public awareness

8. Automated Land-change Evaluation, Reporting and Tracking System (ALERTS) Jointly developed with Planetary Institute (PSI)
