Breakout Session
, 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM
Building a cognitive enterprise is a journey. This talk will first explain how analytics and
cognitive are related to and different from each other. Next, it will discuss the three steps
to achieve the ultimate Cognitive Enterprise: 1) Expand the aperture of data and access
to data. Acquire all data (enterprise, third-party and public open data). Build data lake(s).
Break data silos. Provide management and governance and hence access to data for all
users; 2) Build a strong analytics and cognitive foundation. IBM has full capabilities to
support our clients; and 3) Empower all personas with analytics and cognitive
capabilities. Enable self-service and collaboration. Embed cognitive in the lifecycle of
analytics.

Telematics is so yesterday. Today we can not only sensor-enable vehicles, but also
homes, buildings and, yes, people! This session will describe a use case and the
proposed architectural ecosystem that allows an insurer to leverage real-time sensor
data collection and analytics in the cloud to provide insight and notifications to help
proactively manage human safety; i.e. protecting people. The services and capabilities
provided are to be delivered in real-time, while feeding a hybrid cloud data lake to drive
analytics, reporting and deeper insight across the sensor and customer data.

ASP–1419: Data Lake at ING: The Real Story Behind the
"Marchitecture" and the Rollout
Sessions Architecture solutions and patterns
Breakout Session
, 01:00 PM – 01:45 PM
For the last three years, a small team within ING has been active in creating a data lake
architecture together with IBM: creating awareness in the organization, selling the dream,
pleading for money, and convincing 40+ countries that we need a data lake, and data
governance, and that we need to do it together. Now, three years down the road, we have
one build, rolled out to multiple countries, and have our first end-to-end processes live.
But it has not been an easy road. This presentation will go into the day-to-day
challenges of building a data lake, setting up data governance, struggling with
technology, and selling the story many times over to get the money to take on this
massive task.

Breakout Session
, 01:00 PM – 01:45 PM
This presentation shows how IBM and open source components can work together to
create a sophisticated big data analytical platform. Big data is being stored in many
locations, not just single data warehouses. Certain technologies are better at storing and
analyzing certain types of data: text in some, structured data in others. These storage
technologies are not directly compatible, creating barriers to cross-platform analysis.
The presentation will cover Hadoop, Fluid Query, Spark, the R programming language,
and other technologies for deep analytics and how to integrate them.

As more organizations build out their data lake infrastructure, it is becoming clear that
one key challenge that must be addressed is how to ensure maximum engagement with
the data lake assets by the various business users. This session will focus on the
practical approaches and considerations around building a glossary that provides the
basis for self-service access to the data lake by business users. What are the benefits of
a standard, business-meaningful glossary? What is the appropriate level of detail to
include in such a glossary? How best to accommodate the often conflicting
requirements of keeping the glossary truly business-meaningful, and also provide the
basis for enterprise-wide understanding, governance and data security?

ASP–2012: Blending Outputs from Multiple APIs for
Advanced Architectures
Sessions Architecture solutions and patterns
Breakout Session
, 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM
Voice transmissions can operate on different frequencies based on a smartphone’s
attached network. Megahertz is a key contributor to voice transmission quality, whether
in a studio, an office, a car, or out in the open. Other quality impacts can include the
microphone and the individual's proximity to the equipment. When using speech-to-text
as part of a mission-critical system, the need to address variability of quality and
intelligibility of what is transmitted cannot be overstated. To address erratic quality
issues, Mer adopted a baseline comparative tooling algorithm with a blend of Bluemix
and Watson APIs along with open source APIs. It then created an advanced, mission-
critical system to help improve the quality of transcribed data.

Finding data has become a time-consuming and costly task taking up to 70% of a
project's resources. But when good metadata is available, the data it describes can be
rapidly located and assessed for applications and analytics. An open source project
called Apache Atlas was recently approved as an incubator project to provide an open
metadata repository and information governance frameworks. This offers an
opportunity to rethink the way we manage data in data science projects. We will cover:
How metadata management must change for the world of big data, social media, IoT
and the legacy systems still in use; the value that an open source project providing
metadata management and governance brings to data science; and the mechanisms
involved.

Breakout Session
, 04:00 PM – 04:45 PM
Building a successful hybrid cloud analytics platform requires more than just technology
and infrastructure. In this session, you will learn how to develop a data topology for data
architectures in support of both agile (ad hoc) and governed data analytics. You'll learn
best practices for deploying and governing data flows, entity/master data, and data
structures using modern, scalable big data platforms and technologies.

scientists expect—and need—the ability to turn around new models, ideas and data
feeds faster and faster. But amidst this, intensifying regulation and publicity means that
risk tolerance is increasingly squeezed. So how can data technology groups meet these
seemingly conflicting demands of faster, cheaper change cycles while creating less risk?
The answer lies in replacing handoffs with integration, once-offs with repeatable
processes, and error-manual tasks with DevOps automation.
