In this video from The Digital Future conference in Berlin, Tony Hey, Chief Data Scientist of the Science and Technology Facilities Council of the UK presents: The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery.
“Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud computing technologies. In Tony Hey’s book, The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery, a collection of essays expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized.”
