Title:
Toward Model-based Big Data-as-a-Service: The TOREADOR Approach
Abstract:
Big Data applications are complex systems whose design and deployment poses challenges at multiple levels, ranging from data representation and storage issues to choice and adaptation of analytics, parallelisation and deployment strategies as well as display and interpretation of results.
Having to solve these challenges each time can be a waste of resources or, worse, an entry barrier for small organisations that cannot access the data sense and data technology competence pools.
This talk presents TOREADOR, a model-based approach for fast specification and roll-out of Big Data applications, fostering reuse via a Software Product Line approach.
The TOREADOR toolkit supports collecting user requirements and preferences in a declarative format, converting them into a procedural model of the Big Data computation, and compiling the latter into low-level specification directly deployable on a number of execution platforms and technologies.
