Seminar: “Taming Big Data: Stream Summarization and its Many Applications”

Amr El Abbadi, University of California at Santa Barbara, will give a seminar on "Taming Big Data: Stream Summarization and its Many Applications". Tuesday, May 5 · 2:00 p.m., Aula P1.3, Dipartimento di Ingegneria "Enzo Ferrari".

Abstract: In recent decades, internet-scale applications have generated massive amounts of data from user interactions. To analyze this data, summary statistics are needed, but exact methods are often too slow and resource-intensive. Instead, streaming algorithms use efficient approximations with controlled errors. The focus is on data stream summarization, especially the “heavy hitters” problem, along with related challenges such as handling insertions and deletions, privacy concerns, and applications in cloud caching and network monitoring, showing the connection between mathematical methods and big data management.

Elena Cipressi
Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
My current role: As a Solution Architect within AWS, I am asked to help shape broad use of Amazon's services within strategic accounts across Italy. My responsibilities include owning the technical engagement and ultimate success around specific implementation projects, and developing a deep expertise in the AWS technologies.
«
The industrial PhD journey trained me to successfully face the challenging Amazon Web Services interviews, being hired as a Solutions Architect. This is a technical role that represents the trusted advisor between customers and AWS itself. Thanks to the joint programme between the International Doctoral Programme in ICT and the industry, I have learnt how to build any bridge between two or more realms, adding values to all the parties, by solving complex problems and finding the best tradeoffs. I have also improved my communication skills, being able to convey the right messages to different personas - including but not limited to C-levels, software developers and researchers. Within the industrial PhD program, I have also had the opportunity to focus my research activity to real scenarios and use-cases; this mindset, shaped during my PhD, underlined the importance to have a deep technical domain knowledge without losing sight of the customers and their business needs.
