Concurrent Presentations At-A-Glance

Hadoop Summit North America 2014
What: "Pattern: An Open Source Project for Migrating Predictive Models from SAS, etc., onto Hadoop"
Who: Alexis Roos, senior solutions architect, Concurrent, Inc.
When: Tuesday, June 3 at 1:45 p.m. PT
How: Register at http://hadoopsummit.org/san-jose/register/

Session Description
Cascading Pattern is a free, open source project, which takes models trained in popular analytics frameworks, such as SAS, Microstrategy, SQL Server, etc., and runs them at scale on Hadoop. Based on the popular Cascading framework, Cascading Pattern effectively lowers the barrier or adoption on Hadoop for developers where they can use a Java API to create complex machine-scoring applications. Alexis will provide sample code that will show applications using predictive models build in SAS and R, such as anti-fraud classifiers. Additionally, Alexis will compare variations of models for enterprise-class customer experiments.

Big Data Expo 2014
What: "Using Cascading to Build Enterprise Data Applications that Drive Innovation and Advantage"
Who: Alexis Roos, senior solutions architect, Concurrent, Inc.
When: Tuesday, June 10 at 1:55 p.m. ET
How: Register at http://registration.sys-con.com/

Session Description
Cascading is the most popular application development framework for building enterprise-grade data applications on Hadoop. This open source development framework allows developers to leverage their existing skillsets, such as Java and SQL, to create reliable applications without having to think in MapReduce. Alexis will provide an introduction to Cascading and then dive into using it to build applications. Attendees will learn what types of use cases exist for data-driven businesses, how to approach them with Cascading and its vast ecosystems, and the best practices for Cascading application development.
