“Matt is wonderful to work with (and for). He's enthusiastic, empathic, and creative, with a fine-tuned sense of process and organization. He's highly aware of others' needs as both a team lead and coworker, and is great at thinking strategically and creatively to come up with new and wonderful ways to solve problems. He excels at building communities, working across channels and mediums to amplify brand voice and get the word out. Any organization would be lucky to have him on board.”

I've acted as the liaison sponsor of the research project of Professors Eoin Whelan of National University of Ireland and Salvatore Parise of Babson College to create a correlative analysis between innovation and diversity in one's social community. The research resulted in this article: http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/how-twitter-users-can-generate-better-ideas/

The research resulted in this article: http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/how-twitter-users-can-generate-better-ideas/
Here's some of the proposal:
There is a long history of social network research which empirically demonstrates that the structure and patterns of interactions between knowledge workers has a direct bearing on individual, group, and organizational innovation. Before the advent of Web technologies, the social network of a typical employee tended to be limited to those with whom they could interact regularly on a face-to-face basis. However, with the explosion of social media and social technologies in recent years, workers are interacting with far greater numbers of internal and external contacts, across temporal and geographic boundaries. Our social networks today are now partly or fully digitized yet we know very little about how this digitization has impacted the innovativeness of knowledge workers. Twitter is one such social media platform heavily used by development groups in EMC as a source of work related information. Using advanced social network analysis techniques, we are proposing to analyze how EMC developers are using Twitter, with the objective of determining whether there is a relationship between the structure of their Twitter network and the quality/quantity of ideas they generate. Our theory is that if the people an employee follows on Twitter already follow each other, then over time a groupthink situation emerges which is not good for generating novel ideas. On the other hand, if the people an employee follows on Twitter all move in different circles, then the employee is constantly getting access to novel information which should be good for ideation. -

Snap is a powerful telemetry framework pioneered by Intel (github.com/intelsdi-x/snap) that lets users define telemetry workflows and run them on a schedule.
It makes use of a transparent API that exposes all states and commands and an open plugin model decoupling actions in the workflow from running the workflow. The three types of plugins (collectors, processors, and publishers) allow snap to mix and match functionality based on user need.

Matt Brender from Intel will provide an in-depth look at Snap, what it does, and how it came to be. In the process, he'll discuss reasons why these chose Golang and the resource investments Intel is making with the language.

Your software architecture tells a story of what is important to you. Each focus leads to drastically different layering of systems. There is much to be discovered in the details of where NoSQL databases like Riak are placed in a design.
Some sub-topics of interest:
The need for master and masterless systems working together
Synchronization between components
Failure conditions within the distributed system platform
In this session, we will explore what factors affect when and where you include each technology and focus, in particular, on how to prioritize the choice in core architectural underpinnings present in NoSQL designs. We will also explore what these technologies solve and suggestions for how to align them with your application’s objectives for data insights.
Technologies we are likely to discuss:
NoSQL databases like Redis, Cassandra and Riak
Queues like RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ and Apache Kafka
Data warehousing with Hadoop
Compute engines like Apache Spark

SQL, NoSQL, NewSQL. Not every application needs the same database and not every database is clearly defined in relation to the others. There’s a lot of fun to be had as we walk through the differences.
We’ve broken this training into modules that will bring you from an introduction to database concepts, from SQL to Spanner, down to hands-on coding experience with Riak, Basho’s distributed open source NoSQL database. We finish the day discussing real-world customer use cases.
Module 1 covers:
- Demystify the NoSQL landscape
- Learn how relational and NoSQL databases are both relevant
- Dig into the differentiation of Riak from other NoSQL solutions
Module 2 covers:
- Quick hands-on OS X installation, and then store and retrieve data in Riak
- Discuss active and passive workloads, the operational complexity associated with managing these, and what that means to application architecture
- Discuss where analytics and monitoring fit into an application architecture
Module 3 covers:
- Discuss specific implementations of NoSQL use cases, showing the challenges and advantages and how unstructured data is changing web development.
