Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.

On October 14, 2015, Michael Gill gave a presentation entitled "The Process of Communication, A Practical Guide for Project Managers." Communication is not about knowing the process. Communication is about managing the process. A successful project manager communicates effectively by setting and managing expectations throughout the lifecycle of a project and, by doing so, creates redundancy in a fluid industry. The importance of a simple and redundant communication framework cannot be overstated. Referencing my book, The Process of Communication, I will focus on the role of pre-production and the importance of Requirements Gathering, establishing a teams Level of Effort, communicating Assumptions and through the development of these tools establishing a realistic Timeline. I will speak about how all of these deliverables are used to manage clients expectations as obstacles arise and requirements change.

Big Data : From HindSight to Insight to ForesightSunil Ranka
When it comes to Analytics and Reporting , There is a fine line between HindSight to Insight to Foresight . With the evolution of BigData technology, there is a need in deriving value out of the larger datasets, not available in the past. Even before we can start using the new shiny technologies, there is a need of understanding what is categorized as reporting or business intelligence or Big Data and Analytics. Based on my experience, people struggle to distinguish between reporting, Analytics, and Business Intelligence.
Why Everything You Know About bigdata Is A LieSunil Ranka
As a big data technologist, you can bet that you have heard it all: every crazy claim, myth, and outright lie about what big data is and what it isn't that you can imagine, and probably a few that you can't.If your company has a big data initiative or is considering one, you should be aware of these false statements and the reasons why they are wrong.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
