3rd International Workshop on High Performance Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (HiBB) http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/hibb2012/ held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2012, Rhodes Island, Greece, August 28th, 2012
Keynote Speech Speaker: Prof. Domenico Talia, University of Calabria and ICAR-CNR, Italy Venue: HiBB 2012 Workshop - In conjunction with Euro-Par 2012, Rhodes Island, Greece Date: August 28th, 2012 Title: Using Clouds for Scalable Knowledge Discovery Applications Abstract: Cloud platforms provide scalable processing and data storage and access services that can be effectively exploited for implementing high-performance knowledge discovery systems and applications.This talk discusses the use of Clouds for the development of distributed data mining applications. Service-oriented knowledge discovery concepts are introduced and a framework for composing data mining workflows on Clouds, is presented. The system architecture, its implementation, and current work aimed at supporting the design and execution of knowledge discovery applications modeled as workflows are presented. Biosketch: Domenico Talia is a professor of computer engineering at the University of Calabria, and the director of the Institute of High Performance Computing and Networking of the Italian National Research Council (ICAR-CNR). He received his Laurea degree in physics from the University of Calabria. His research interests include Grid and Cloud computing, distributed knowledge discovery, parallel data mining, and peer-to-peer systems. Talia has co-authored and edited 8 books and about 300 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. He is a member of the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Computers, the Future Generation Computer Systems journal, the International Journal on Web and Grid Services, the Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience journal, the Journal of Cloud Computing, the MultiAgent and Grid Systems journal, International Journal of Biomedical Data Mining, and the Web Intelligence and Agent Systems journal.
