09:00 – 09:30   Conference Opening

09:30 – 10:30   Keynote – Mergeable Summaries and the Data Sketches Library

Edo Liberty, principal scientist at AWS and the head of Amazon AI Labs, USA.

Mergeable summaries (formalized by Agarwal et al. in PODS 2012) allow one to process many different streams of data independently, and then the summaries computed from each stream can be quickly combined to obtain an accurate summary of various combinations of the datasets (union, intersection, etc.). Among other major benefits, mergeable summaries allow data to be automatically processed in a fully distributed and parallel manner, by partitioning the data arbitrarily across many machines, summarizing each partition, and seamlessly combining the results.

This talk will describe a line of research that has grown out of the development of Data Sketches, an open source library of production-quality implementations of mergeable summaries for basic problems including unique counts, quantiles, frequent items, sampling, and matrix analysis. The library is currently used by several companies and government agencies (Yahoo/Oath, Amazon, Splice Machine, GCHQ, etc.) and enables real-time processing of massive datasets.

08:00 – 09:30   Morning Coffee

09:30 – 10:30   Keynote – Network Research and Falling Trees

Fabián Bustamante, professor at Northwestern University, USA.

Whenever we make the case for the relevance of our field we point to the societal impact of the Internet – that research experiment that escaped the lab to become the global communication infrastructure, critical to nearly every part of modern society. There seem to be an endless pool of technology innovation around and over this network and a equally infinite wealth of challenging research problems. The research agendas we build from them, however, seem at times light years from having any societal impact. In this talk, I will discuss the promises and perils of a crafting a networked systems research agenda focused on end users, from the opportunity to run a research program without having all the right “connections” to the constant struggle for turning user problems into interesting research questions your community would appreciate.
