In February, the High-Assurance Software (HASLab), INESC TEC’s Privileged Partner, will start working on the European project LeanBigData (Ultra-Scalable and Ultra-Efficient Integrated and Visual Big Data Analytics). The main goal is to solve three great challenges of analytical processing in Big Data: the cost, in terms of resources, of scaling big data analytics for streaming and static data sources; the lack of integration of the existing technologies to manipulate Big Data and high response times; and the insufficient end-user support leading to extremely lengthy big data analysis cycles. INESC TEC’s Information and Computer Graphics Systems Unit (USIG) is also participating in this project.
