| bdbiga | Big Data Business Intelligence for Govt. Agencies | 35 hours | Advances in technologies and the increasing amount of information are transforming how business is conducted in many industries, including government. Government data generation and digital archiving rates are on the rise due to the rapid growth of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors and devices, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information expands and becomes more complex, information management, processing, storage, security, and disposition become more complex as well. New capture, search, discovery, and analysis tools are helping organizations gain insights from their unstructured data. The government market is at a tipping point, realizing that information is a strategic asset, and government needs to protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information to better serve and meet mission requirements. As government leaders strive to evolve data-driven organizations to successfully accomplish mission, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information. High-value government solutions will be created from a mashup of the most disruptive technologies: Mobile devices and applications Cloud services Social business technologies and networking Big Data and analytics IDC predicts that by 2020, the IT industry will reach $5 trillion, approximately $1.7 trillion larger than today, and that 80% of the industry's growth will be driven by these 3rd Platform technologies. In the long term, these technologies will be key tools for dealing with the complexity of increased digital information. Big Data is one of the intelligent industry solutions and allows government to make better decisions by taking action based on patterns revealed by analyzing large volumes of data — related and unrelated, structured and unstructured. But accomplishing these feats takes far more than simply accumulating massive quantities of data.“Making sense of these volumes of Big Data requires cutting-edge tools and technologies that can analyze and extract useful knowledge from vast and diverse streams of information,” Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote in a post on the OSTP Blog. The White House took a step toward helping agencies find these technologies when it established the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. The initiative included more than $200 million to make the most of the explosion of Big Data and the tools needed to analyze it. The challenges that Big Data poses are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Storing data efficiently is one of these challenges. As always, budgets are tight, so agencies must minimize the per-megabyte price of storage and keep the data within easy access so that users can get it when they want it and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data heightens the challenge. Analyzing the data effectively is another major challenge. Many agencies employ commercial tools that enable them to sift through the mountains of data, spotting trends that can help them operate more efficiently. (A recent study by MeriTalk found that federal IT executives think Big Data could help agencies save more than $500 billio while also fulfilling mission objectives.). Custom-developed Big Data tools also are allowing agencies to address the need to analyze their data. For example, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. The system has helped medical researchers find a link that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they strike. It’s also used for more mundane tasks, such as sifting through résumés to connect job candidates with hiring managers. Breakdown of topics on daily basis: (Each session is 2 hours) Day-1: Session -1: Business Overview of Why Big Data Business Intelligence in Govt.

| neo4j | Beyond the relational database: neo4j | 21 hours | Relational, table-based databases such as Oracle and MySQL have long been the standard for organizing and storing data. However, the growing size and fluidity of data have made it difficult for these traditional systems to efficiently execute highly complex queries on the data. Imagine replacing rows-and-columns-based data storage with object-based data storage, whereby entities (e.g., a person) could be stored as data nodes, then easily queried on the basis of their vast, multi-linear relationship with other nodes. And imagine querying these connections and their associated objects and properties using a compact syntax, up to 20 times lighter than SQL. This is what graph databases, such as neo4j offer. In this hands-on course, we will set up a live project and put into practice the skills to model, manage and access your data. We contrast and compare graph databases with SQL-based databases as well as other NoSQL databases and clarify when and where it makes sense to implement each within your infrastructure. Audience Database administrators (DBAs) Data analysts Developers System Administrators DevOps engineers Business Analysts CTOs CIOs Format of the course Heavy emphasis on hands-on practice. Most of the concepts are learned through samples, exercises and hands-on development. Getting started with neo4j neo4j vs relational databases neo4j vs other NoSQL databases Using neo4j to solve real world problems Installing neo4j Data modeling with neo4j Mapping white-board diagrams and mind maps to neo4j Working with nodes Creating, changing and deleting nodes Defining node properties Node relationships Creating and deleting relationships Bi-directional relationships Querying your data with Cypher Querying your data based on relationships MATCH, RETURN, WHERE, REMOVE, MERGE, etc. Setting indexes and constraints Working with the REST API REST operations on nodes REST operations on relationships REST operations on indexes and constraints Accessing the core API for application development Working with NET, Java, Javascript, and Python APIs Closing remarks |

| druid | Druid: Build a fast, real-time data analysis system | 21 hours | Druid is an open-source, column-oriented, distributed data store written in Java. It was designed to quickly ingest massive quantities of event data and execute low-latency OLAP queries on that data. Druid is commonly used in business intelligence applications to analyze high volumes of real-time and historical data. It is also well suited for powering fast, interactive, analytic dashboards for end-users. Druid is used by companies such as Alibaba, Airbnb, Cisco, eBay, Netflix, Paypal, and Yahoo. In this course we explore some of the limitations of data warehouse solutions and discuss how Druid can compliment those technologies to form a flexible and scalable streaming analytics stack. We walk through many examples, offering participants the chance to implement and test Druid-based solutions in a lab environment.
