M&S implementation of Big Data gets serious — now! Join with Military and Industry thought leaders and Big Data practitioners to create a two-year implementation vision. The event begins with a ‘traditional’ panel discussion followed by an open-microphone Q&A. Then you will be invited to one of two work groups where the panelists will join with the audience and raconteurs for 30 minutes to brainstorm and create a high-level, 2 year implementation plan.
“Wait! What? What’s this about ‘join’ and ‘create’? You mean me? As in do, like, work?” Yes, your individual ideas ARE being solicited. It’s a two-fer. You learn about Big Data from folks who are actually implementing it and then you get to add your voice to how our community can get going. We will also be looking for volunteers who are willing to ‘own’ a piece of the vision and add some elbow grease to its initiation. The thought at this moment is to then continue the coordination during MODSIM 2018 with a status report at next year’s I/ITSEC. Don’t let the last piece scare you off; it’s a volunteer thing. If you know a lot about Big Data — come. Lend a hand. If you know nothing about Big Data other than the buzz — come. Learn. Lend a hand. Help our community launch!
