HP Labs Research Interests • HP Labs have organized its corporate research around 8

major themes that include Information management, Analytics, and Cloud computing– Information Management addresses the need to

govern and integrate multiple sources and formats of data.

– Analytics focuses on turning enormous and rapidly increasing amounts of data into relevant insight.

– Cloud research is focused on delivering an application and computing end-state of Everything-as-a-Service

• HP considers breakthroughs in these areas vital to the industry, and these interests intersect well with those of the DataSpace project

HP Labs Team • Meichun Hsu– Director, Intelligent Information Management Lab– Focused research on Live Analytics Platform

• Dejan Milojicic– Senior Research Manager, Strategy and Innovation

Office, HP Labs– Managing Director, Open Cirrus

• Joe Pato– Distinguished Technologist, Systems Security Lab– Collaborating with MIT Decentralized Information Group

Live Analytics Platform• Research Goal: Develop breakthroughs to create a large-scale

data-intensive analytics platform that combines massively parallel data management with massively parallel data analytics, to extract insights from a combination of structured, unstructured, static and streaming data.

• Live Analytics Platform can be an experimental vehicle for the Dataspace project – Develop new approaches to integrate data of diverse data

formats– Develop novel scientific analytics that require massive data and

computing scale– Offer a computation environment to perform streaming

analytics over multiple sources of scientific data to facilitate low-latency information integration, monitoring, and scientific discovery

• Live Analytics Platform can be offered in the context of Open Cirrus, HP Labs’s experimental Cloud Platform

Open CirrusOpen cloud-computing research testbed

Open Cirrus Goals• Foster new systems research in cloud computing• Catalyze open-source stack and APIs for the cloud

What is Open Cirrus• Infrastructure for research spanning 10 sites of 1000+ cores each• Collaborative community sharing research, software, data sets, and best

practices• Sponsored by HP, Yahoo, Intel

Why are Open Cirrus and DataSpace a match• Federation of Open Cirrus sites matches―DataSpace distributed federated

ecosystem• Collaboration among 10 Open Cirrus sites―interdisciplinary researchers,

applications• Large diverse data sets―mutually beneficial• Global testbed―ideal for experiments on automation of security, privacy, export
