Register today to attend the Institute for Data-Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES) for a full day of big-data themed talks and project updates.
The IDIES Annual Symposium aims to bring together experts in the theoretical foundations, development, and application of data-intensive technologies and analysis to share discoveries, practical ideas, and insights as they relate to big data research.
In our effort to promote interdisciplinary collaborations, we invite anyone—from our JHU affiliates, to governmental agencies, local organizations, non-profits, and beyond—with an interest in data science and big data, especially as they pertain to one’s current or prospective research, to attend this symposium.
To learn more about IDIES and our resources, or to register to attend the symposium, please be sure to visit our website at idies.jhu.edu.
