8 Mobile Devices & Cellular Networks are Pervasive The number of mobile-connected devices will soon exceed the number of people on earth. vs Mobile data traffic will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 66 percent from 2012 to 2017, reaching 11.2 exabytes per month by 2017.

9 Mobility and Data Growth Pervasiveness and Connectedness: Mobile devices have eclipsed traditional computers as points of entry for the Internet always-on always connected Mobile Data Services and Applications: Smartphones able to access data in a wide variety of forms from text messaging and web browsing to apps for everything and steaming services Contextual Computing: Apps that take advantage of a user s presence in time and space, combined w/ other relevant data, to deliver targeted and tailored content and services FUTURE: SMART EVERTHING and CONNECTED CHRISTOPHER SURDAK DATA CRUSH How the Informa.on Tidal Wave Is Driving New Business Opportuni.es

11 Networked Society Computing technologies and human societies co-evolve, transforming each other in the process We are increasingly becoming a networked society. Access to technology and information is enhancing our cognitive and physical capabilities. This trend will be accelerated by advances in: social informatics assistive technologies augmented reality robotics crowd sourcing learning technologies natural language understanding vision and perception artificial intelligence machine learning information retrieval

12 Social Media and Data Growth How could companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, that provide free service, be worth billions of dollars? Monetizing User Data Selling data to third parties: Targeted advertising; detailed profiling of customers behaviors, opinions, and preferences; predictive analysis OLD vs. NEW marketing: This level of intimacy is potentially intrusive but highly valuable OLD CRM systems vs. NEW customer engagement: Consumers expectations are changing, expecting much deeper engagement with companies and personalized service New business models enabled by online transactions and predictive data analysis: e.g., ebay, Amazon, Groupon, Bonobos, Target

13 From Hypothesis-driven to Data-driven Discovery The Economist, The data deluge and how to handle it: A 14- page special report (Feb 25, 2010). The Fourth Paradigm: Data- Intensive Scien:fic Discovery (2009, MicrosoD Corpora.on) collaboration/fourthparadigm/ Data are motivating a profound transformation in the culture and conduct of scientific research.

14 Conceptualizing Big Data for Science Science gathers data at an ever-increasing rate across all scales and complexities of natural phenomena Sloan Digital Sky Survey in 2000, collected more data in its 1 st few weeks than had been amassed in the entire history of astronomy Within a decade, over 140 terabytes of information collected The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope due in Chile in 2016 will amass double that quantity of data every week Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope.

18 Wireless and Cellular Networks, Mobile Devices and Pervasive Computing Mobile phones are the only digital system accessible to the majority of the planet. 6.8 billion mobile phone connections globally. 85% of new handsets will be able to access the mobile web: 1 in 5 has access to fast service, 3G or better. IM, MMS, SMS expected to exceed 10 trillion message by Growing ecosystem of tools and applications: Banking, commerce, healthcare, social networking: over 1M distinct active apps just in App Store. Mobile browsers can now display much of the content available to their desktop counterparts. Mobile payment systems are now common in the developing world.
