TECHNOLOGY LEADER FORUM: IT TSUNAMI

Thursday, 3 December 2009 . 7:45 - 9:45

In their "How Much Information? 2003" studies, UC Berkeley Team (Lyman, Varian, etl) estimate that "Information flows through electronic channels -- telephone, radio, TV, and the Internet -- contained almost 18 Exabytes (133,200 times of the size of the US library of congress) of new information in 2002." Ninety eight percent of this total is the information sent and received in telephone calls - including both voice and data on both fixed lines and wireless estimate.

Global Connectivity is witnessing "information explosion" or IT Tsunami. A major challenge is the information and software systems to design, operate, manage and support the network infrastructure; protect it from fraud and intrusion; and increasingly generate revenue to justify enormous investment in information systems for smooth flow of mountains of information generated every second. Some of the issues are:

. The information software and systems research and applications necessary for global connectivity;
. The compression and storage technologies enabling large-scale information management of streaming and temporal as well as  structured information; and
. Challenges of the real time large-scale information mining, knowledge extraction that leads to intelligent business and operation support systems.

Industry executives will share their insights on critical issues of our "information explosion" era.
