There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: Four Georgia Tech research hubs have launched a new "chalk & talk" brown bag lunch series on Big Data.
Full Summary: Four Georgia Tech research hubs have launched a new “chalk & talk” brown bag lunch series on Big Data. The weekly series, sponsored jointly by the Institute for Data & High Performance Computing (IDH), Institute for Materials (IMaT), Center for Data Analytics (CDA) and Center for High Performance Computing (HPC) will be held on most Thursdays during the Fall and Spring Semesters and feature a mix of topics, including those related to big data for materials and manufacturing, as well as other topics critical to the broader area of big data.

Date: February 20
Topic: “Predictive Analytics for Improving the Reliability and Sustainability of Engineering Systems”
Presenter: Nagi Gebraeel
Abstract:
Many high-valued engineering assets used in the manufacturing and service sectors are today being monitored by hundreds and perhaps thousands of sensors. Typically, the goal is to monitor system performance and degradation for numerous purposes, one of which is the prevention of unexpected failures. This talk focuses on how to effectively utilize sensor data to predict future system degradation and remaining lifetime (aka. prognostics).
The talk will begin by introducing a basic prognostic framework and how it has been implemented (through a live streaming demo, if possible). Next, the talk will focus on some scalability challenges that arise once we start dealing with big (sensor) data, which will be followed by a moderately technical discussion about some of the recently developed state-of-the-art modeling techniques that have targeted a few facets of this problem.
