Today ISC 2017 announced that it’s Distinguished Talk series will focus on Data Analytics in manufacturing and scientific applications. One of the Distinguished Talks will be given by Dr. Sabina Jeschke from the Cybernetics Lab at the RWTH Aachen University on the topic of, “Robots in Crowds – Robots and Clouds.” Jeschke’s presentation will be followed by one from physicist Kerstin Tackmann, from the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) research center, who will discuss big data and machine learning techniques used for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.

DESY Powers Science with Elastic Storage from IBM
Today IBM announced a collaboration with Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Germany to speed access to 20 GB of data/second flowing from its PETRA III accelerator, which is used by 2000 global scientists to explore the building blocks of matter. Based on the IBM Elastic Storage that powered Watson in its historic win on Jeopardy!, this Big Data architecture will speed up analysis of massive volumes of x-ray images of atom-sized particles, and can aid variety of research projects ranging from semiconductor designs to cancer therapies.
