**Registration:**Workshop registration is open to members of industry, government, and academia.**Registration Fee:**There is no charge for registration.In the March 2012 unveiling of the BIG DATA Initiative,  Dr. John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, indicated that this new initiative promises to transform our ability to use BIG DATA for scientific discovery, environmental and biomedical research, education, and national security. In response, NIST, in collaboration with the NSF Center for Hybrid Multicore Productivity Research (CHMPR) is convening a BIG DATA workshop, aimed at exploring: State-of-the-art core technologies needed to collect, store, preserve, manage, analyze, and share BIG DATA that could benefit from standardization Potential measurements to ensure the accuracy and robustness of methods that harness these technologiesIn this first workshop, key national priority topics will be explored, including examples from science, health, disaster management, security, and finance. At the same time, topics in emerging technology areas, including analytics and architectures will also be discussed. **Update - Presentation Slides Available Below** Currently available presentation slides are available for download as PDFs via the links contained within the following agenda summary.**June 13, 2012**Introduction  Dr. Ashit Talukder, NIST Mary Brady, NISTKeynotes Ian Foster, Argonne National Lab - Big process for big data: Process automation for data-driven science Michael Stonebraker, SciDB - Big Data Means at Least Three Different Things Neal Ziring, NSASession 1: Data & Algorithms  Mike Franklin, UC Berkeley Kirk Borne, George Mason University - The Tonnabytes Big Data Challenge: Transforming Science and Education Milton Halem, CHMPRSession 2: Analytics I  Bob Grossman, Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology Harry Greenspun, Deloitte Center for Health Solutions Jack Jones, Booz-AllenBig Data Programs Panel  Peter Highnam, IARPA Howard Wactlar, NSF - Big Data R&D Initiative Tsengdar Lee, NASA - From Data Curation to Data Analytics: A Big Data Experiment in NASA Earth Science Lucy Nowell, DOE Peter Lyster, NIH Frederica Darema, Air Force Office of Scientific Research Chris White, DARPA Daniel Starosta, NOAA - Data Processing , Product Generation and Distribution at the NWS National Centers for Environmental Prediction**June 14, 2012**Session 3: Analytics II  Artur Barczyk, CalTech - LHC Data Analytics Arie Shoshani, DOE Data Initiative - Big Data in Scientific Domains Peter Fox, Virtual Observatory - The Role of Virtual Observatories and Data Frameworks in an Era of Big Data Peter Bajcsy, NIST - Grand Challenges of Measurement Sciences with Big DataSession 4: Big Data Platforms  Dennis Gannon, Microsoft - Sustaining Big Data Joseph Hellerstein, Google Mark Ryland, Amazon Charles Kaminski, LexisNexis - HPCC Systems Ed Pednault, IBM - Big Data Platforms, Tools, and Research at IBM Robert Stackowiak, Oracle - An Integrated Big Data & Analytics Infrastructure
