what is big data
• large complex data sets

• data sources can business, sensing, logging etc
• data can be a realtime stream
some open source big data solutions
• apache hadoop – enables processing of large data
sets
• pandas – data analysis tool
• storm - realtime computation of data streams

5. open source hardware
arduino
• the first real open source
hardware platform
• lot’s accessories
• cheap, many sources, great
for sensor or control systems
arm powered
computers
• Same cpu/gpu as your mobile
device

7. so the next big thing is
the internet of things IoT
• where everyday objects are connected to the
internet & are able to identify themselves to other
devices.
• these objects can be sensors, actuators, visualisations
etc
• each object needs an unique identity
• objects may generate lot’s of data
• individual objects may have minimal processing
capability
• data may need to be accessed anywhere

8. so the next big thing is
