On October 29, 2018 at UBITECH’s premises in Athens, partners of the Horizon 2020 co-funded research projects I-BiDaaS and PrEstoCloud will meet at a joint technical workshop to explore, discuss and promote coexistence and synergies in the area of Big Data and Cloud technologies and applications. On the one hand, PrEstoCloud (prestocloud-project.eu) focuses on the research of cloud computing and real-time big data technologies, providing a dynamic, distributed architecture that enables proactive cloud resource management reaching the extreme edge of the network for efficient data processing. On the other hand, I-BiDaaS (www.ibidaas.eu/) constitutes a self-service solution, aiming to empower users to easily utilize and interact with big data technologies by designing, building and demonstrating a unified framework that significantly increases the speed of data analysis while coping with the rate of data asset growth and facilitates cross-domain data-flow towards a thriving data-driven EU economy. Participants of the workshop will use the opportunity to identify common challenges, create synergies and optimize the research activities of both projects dealing with similar topics.
