Big Data Analytics
Panning for Gold in Big Data Streams
“Data is knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power is money.” A new project at SICS leads national mobilization in Big Data Analytics, an area which will have a large...
Dr. Jim Dowling is a distributed systems researcher at RISE SICS and an Associate Professor (docent) at KTH ICT School. He has a strong interest in applying mechanisms from complex systems and self-organization to build better computer systems. In general, his research has concerned improving fundamental properties of software systems, including reliability, availability, persistence, security, scalability and performance.
