DATA, GRAPHS, and COMBINATORICS in BIO-INFORMATICS, FINANCE, LINGUISTICS, and NATIONAL SECURITY
From the workshops page:
26-27 July 2011
College of Staten Island
City University of New YorkThis two-day workshop is designed to address current topics in Data Intensive Computing. Topics covered will include computational statistical, graph theoretic and combinatoric approaches in bio-informatics, financial data analytics, linguistics, and national security.
Technology is allowing researchers, government agencies, and companies to acquire huge amounts of information in the sciences and on human behavior. The challenge confronting researchers is how to discern meaningful information and relationships from this plethora of data. The workshop will focus on new algorithmic techniques and their computational implementation, including:
- How Watson won Jeopardy!
- Computational graph theory and combinatorics in bio-informatics, on Wall Street, and in National Security applications.
- The role of high performance computing, graph theory and combinatorics in data intensive computing.
Workshop speakers include noted representatives from academe, government research laboratories, and industry. A list of speakers is attached.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 26-27, 2011 from 8:15 AM to 4:45 PM in the Recital Hall of the Center for the Arts on the campus of the College of Staten Island, 2800 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, New York 10314.
A continental breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided each day. There is an attendance fee of $85 per person ($50 for students). Advanced registration is required.
