Abstract

Most recently (2008 to now) I have created numerous streaming big data applications for real time marketing analytics, hotel management, political campaign monitoring, medical sensors and real time surveys tools. I expect to be able to contribute substantially to the panel discussion on Big Data/IoT to which I have been invited to participate.
