December 2016: Federal Big Data Summit Report
Abstract
During the most recent Advanced Technology Academic Research Center (ATARC) Federal Big Data Summit, held on December 13, 2016, five MITRE-ATARC collaboration sessions gave representatives of industry, academia, government, and MITRE the opportunity to discuss challenges the government faces in big data. Experts who would not otherwise meet or interact used these sessions to identify challenges, best practices, recommendations, success stories, and requirements to advance the state of big data technologies and research in the government. The MITRE Corporation is a not-for-profit company that operates multiple Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). ATARC is a non-profit organization that leverages academia to bridge between government and corporate participation in technology. MITRE worked in partnership with ATARC to host these collaborative sessions as part of the Federal Big Data Summit. The invited collaboration session participants across government, industry, and academia worked together to address challenge areas in big data, as well as identify courses of action to be taken to enable government and industry collaboration with academic institutions. Academic participants used the discussions as a way to help guide research efforts, curricula development, and to help produce graduates ready to join the work force and advance the state of big data research and work in the government.
