SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Overview: The growth in scale, diversity, and complexity of data has increased the demand for understanding large amounts of heterogeneous data. This presents new challenges to the way data and information are used and managed. A need exists to understand ways to design systems for processing big data, develop sophisticated analytics using large-scale data, consider privacy issues arising from use of this massive data, and determine ways to teach big data analytics across disciplines. This workshop will bring together academic and industry leaders across disciplines to further inform the development of an effective Federal Big Data Research Agenda. Background: Given the large number of overlapping data challenges many federal agencies are facing, a National Big Data R&D Initiative was launched in March 2012. As part of this Initiative, a Federal Big Data Research Agenda is under development. This workshop is part of the process to collect input from those in academia and industry that are working on big data research and new technologies. The purpose of drafting a Federal Big Data Research Agenda is to assist Federal Agencies in planning their individual Big Data R&D programs and initiatives. The Agenda is expected to be released in late 2015. Submitted by the National Science Foundation for the National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) on January 22, 2015. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
