The Fifth Elephant 2012

Finding the elephant in the data.

What are your users doing on your website or in your store? How do you turn the piles of data your organization generates into actionable information? Where do you get complementary data to make yours more comprehensive? What tech, and what techniques?

The Fifth Elephant is a two day conference on big data.

Early Geek tickets are available from fifthelephant.doattend.com.

The proposal funnel below will enable you to submit a session and vote on proposed sessions. It is a good practice introduce yourself and share details about your work as well as the subject of your talk while proposing a session.

Each community member can vote for or against a talk. A vote from each member of the Editorial Panel is equivalent to two community votes. Both types of votes will be considered for final speaker selection.

It’s useful to keep a few guidelines in mind while submitting proposals:

  1. Describe how to use something that is available under a liberal open source license. Participants can use this without having to pay you anything.

  2. Tell a story of how you did something. If it involves commercial tools, please explain why they made sense.

  3. Buy a slot to pitch whatever commercial tool you are backing.

Speakers will get a free ticket to both days of the event. Proposers whose talks are not on the final schedule will be able to purchase tickets at the Early Geek price of Rs. 1800.

Analytics Platform - Experience and evolution

Submitted Jun 22, 2012

With the growth of video on the web & the explosion of social networks, analytics around media consumption is a prime field of late. In this talk, we explore Akamai’s offering for analytics, the media context, the needs thereof, the technology & its evolution. Not to mention, the challenges of doing at at internet scale!

Outline

Analytics is an involving ask; the challenges are multi-fold. On one side, the technology required to handle huge data volumes, & on the other side, needs of the customer & domain which constantly evolve. Add to that, the demands of instantaneous data availability. In the course of developing an analytics solution for media consumption & then extending it to other domains (ex. security), we learnt a lot & this talk is all about sharing the same.

Here is how we will go about that talk -

  • An introduction to Akamai Media Analytics, the product & the domain

  • The technology infrastructure that runs it for us - at an architectural level. The nuances of delayed reporting & near real time reporting

  • The data & reporting flexibility that empowers our customers; how the platform makes it happen

  • Q&A
