Big data initiatives are cropping up across every industry and market sector. Where are the information layers and synergies to bring this information together so it can be put to meaningful use? Major themes of this conference include Big Data, data analytics, information layers, monetizing Big Data, and Big Data infrastructure.

At this conference, MIT research leaders will present emerging technologies and new applications from MIT including the Auto-ID Laboratory, the SENSEable City Laboratory, CSAIL, the MIT Sloan School and related companies. This event brings together an impressive roster of industry leaders, MIT faculty and standards data organization (SDO) representatives for a one and a half-day conference October 9-10 on, “Big Data: Big, Cloudy and Mobile – applications in retail supply chain, transportation logistics and mobile retail commerce.”

This event builds on Massachusetts’ Big Data Initiative and the Auto-ID Lab’s mission to create an Internet of Things using RFID and Wireless Sensor Networks using a single numbering system called the Electronic Product Code. MIT Auto-ID Labs is uniquely positioned to build momentum behind game changing standards/specifications/industry best practices.
