Challenges in Big Data Analytics
• Big data limits human performance in analysis and decision
making • High-performance information technologies for massive analytics
enables the journey from big data to information, knowledge and
wisdom.
• R&D needed to achieve trusted autonomous systems that are capable
of learning, reasoning, inferencing and interacting with human.
• Advantage in labor power could convert into global
competitive advantages • Ability to “do more, do better” with more intelligent power, less
labor power, would be a “force multiplier”
• Computing hardware technologies reach physical limits in
area, power and performance • Three-dimensional integrated circuits and systems with optimized
performance under size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints.
• RDT&E for nano/quantum/neuro device and system technologies.
