Talk by: Elise Jeanneau

Title: SkyData, a New Data Management Paradigm

Abstract:
SkyData is a new project that our team is currently working on. This presentation will provide a overview of the basic structure and algorithms of the SkyData environment.

Speaker bio:
Elise Jeanneau got her Ph.D from Sorbonne Université, Paris, in 2018. Her thesis was about using failure detectors for agreement in dynamic distributed system. She then taught computer science at IUT de Paris for two years, before taking a position as an assistant professor at UCBL in 2020. She is part of the Avalon team in LIP.

Title: A Brief History of Stream Processing

Abstract:
In recent years, the data landscape has changed. Big data are no longer a vision, and data systems evolve to support the new generation of data-intensive applications. Stream processing is playing a central role in this game, where real-time decision making is a must. In this talk, we will walk you through 10 years of industrial and academic research in the area. In particular, we will take a closer look to state-of-the-art Big Data data streaming platforms, e.g., Apache Kafka, Flink, and Spark and the impact that declarative languages had on the field. Last but not least, I will talk about when Stream Processing met Artificial Intelligence, i.e., my research filed called Stream Reasoning.

Speaker bio:
Ricardo Tommasini is a maître de conference (Associate Professor) at INSA Lyon. Pior to join LIRIS lab, he was an assistant professor at the University of Tartu, Estonia. Riccardo holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Electronics and Information of the Politecnico di Milano. His thesis, titled *Velocity on the Web*, investigates the velocity aspects that concern the Web environment. His research interests span Stream Processing, Knowledge Graphs, Logics, and Programming Languages. Riccardo’s tutorial activities comprise Big Data Tutorial at Kno.e.sis Center Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio (2015), Stream Reasoning Tutorial at ISWC 2017, ICWE 2018, ESWC 2019, DEBS 2019, and TheWebConf 2019, EDBT 2020. His teaching activities include the courses: Interoperability and Semantic Web Technologies (15-16) and Principles of Programming Languages (16-17, 17-18, 18-19), Middleware Technologies (18-19), Knowledge Engineering (Tutor 17-18, 18-19) at Politecnico di Milano. Moreover, he is currently teaching Data Engineering, Big Data Management, and Advanced Databases at the University of Tartu. Last but not least, Riccardo has lots of experience in industrial training and conference presentation. He is currently an official trainer for InfluxData’s data scripting language (Flux). He is has been teaching Apache Kafka with and without the Confluent suite (Kafka Stream, KSQL, Connect). Finally, he presented at DockerCon, LinuxLab, and several major meetups, e.g., Time Series Meetup Tallin (200+ attendants), Kafka Meetup Milan (60+ attendants), and Data Science Seminars Tartu (200+ online attendants).
