Hwang Seoung-ku, Director of ETRI gives a speech at IT 21 Conference.

SEOUL, KOREA - "Big Data is expected to become a tool which will ultimately lead to a smart revolution," Hwang Seung-ku, director of Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), stated.

Delivering a lecture at the 2012 IT 21 Global Conference held at COEX in Seoul on June 11-12 under the topic of "Industrial survival strategy for next generation information technology," Hwang said, "Big Data is an indispensable core factor to complete the smart revolution and advance into intellectual era."

Noting that Big Data has recently been attracting keen attention from all over the world, he said, "Big Data is no longer merely a fad. It has been bringing about drastic reform in all industrial sectors, which has subsequently been titled the Big Data Revolution. In terms of technology and usage, particularly, it has demonstrated a rapid development pace."

"Under the future competition environment," Hwang continued to say, "The ability to secure good-quality Big Data, analyze them, deduce their value and lead them into implementation will be a core of superior competition."

Meanwhile, Prof. Andrew McCulloch of the University of California San Diego, said, "The Cardiac Physiome is an ambitious project to develop multi-scale computational models of the heart that integrate a wide range from molecular function to whole organ system scales."

In a speech on the "Cardiac Physiome Project: Multi-Scale Modeling of the Heart from Molecule to Patient," Prof. McCulloch said, "I will focus on models of cardiac electromechanical function and its regulation. At the molecular scale, protein kinetics are modeled using Markov state-transition models.

"These are incorporated into systems models of cellular excitation-contraction coupling and its regulation by biochemical signaling pathways."

He said, "Microstructural constitutive models are used to represent the three-dimensional anisotropic multi-cellular properties of cardiac tissue. Medical imaging modelities such as MRI are used to reconstructed detailed three-dimensional anatomic models of whole organ physiology. Models are validated using experimental measurements, especially in genetically-engineered mice, and are being applied in the clinic to improve patient outcomes in congestive heart failure."

IT social service and Big Data

Oh Kyong-soo, Chairman of Korea Information Processing Society

In the meantime, Oh Kyong-soo, chairman of the Korea Information Processing Society (KIPS) said in a welcoming speech, "More than 400 industrial and academic IT experts are participating in the 17th IT 21 Global Conference to learn about enterprises' growth engines and illuminate the trend of IT changes.

"Under the subject of 'IT social service and Big Data,' experts from the IT industry, academic circles, research centers and universities have gathered here to seek the future direction of the IT industry and understand the flow of technology." He also said, "In particular, KIPS invited experts in the field of data analysis method & technology, which is called 'Data Science' along with mobile clouding and social marketing technology, to the 2012 IT conference in an effort to deal with real IT-related issues."

On the establishment of KIPS, Oh explained, "As information processing has rapidly become one of the most important industries in the nation, computing professionals have encountered a growing number of challenges. Along with scholars and colleagues in IT-related fields, they have gathered in a variety of forums and meetings over the last few decades to share their knowledge, experiences and the outcome of their research. These exchanges have led to the founding of KIPS on January 15, 1993.

"KIPS was registered as an incorporated association under the Ministry of Information and Communications. The main purpose of the organization is to improve our society by achieving the highest capability possible in the field of information technology." The KIPS chairman also said that the KIPS organization focuses on close collaboration with industry, academic, and research communities in order to foster technological innovation, to enhance members' careers, as well as promote advanced information-processing industry.

The major activities supported by KIPS are designed to organize a variety of conferences, symposiums, and exhibitions, supporting a propagation of knowledge and technology in information processing, and promote collaborations to share and exchange knowledge regarding information processing technology.

“KIPS also strives to define the standardization of information processing technology, support international collaboration and knowledge exchange for both academic and industry partners and provide a venue for publications in the area of information processing,” he explained.

Network traffic trends

IT 21 Global Conference on 11~12

Delivering a lecture under the topic of "Big Data: Network traffic trends and policy exchanges in Broadband deployment," Goe Seow Hiong, executive director of Cisco Systems in the U.S., said, "The findings from the latest Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update are generated from an ongoing initiative to track and forecast the impact of visual networking applications on global networks."

He said, "I hope to share and discuss some of Cisco's major global mobile data traffic projections and growth trends, highlighting cloud computing as a continuing evolution away from decentralized ICT systems throughout the last decade."

His presentation focused on addressing the importance of broadband to a country's economic and social development, the challenges facing broadband deployment, national approaches to developing nationwide broadband plans, technology options and steps the government can take to facilitate a conducive policy environment that will spur and sustain the growth of broadband.

"There should be flexibility to permit and encourage the private sector to develop and evolve new business models to sustain innovation and growth, and operators should have the ability to manage their networks to effectively deliver the appropriate quality of service required by their customers," he added.

Science Big Data: Grand Challenges

In a speech titled "Science Big Data: Grand Challenges," Han Sun-Hwa, senior research manager of KISTI, said that the U.S. government announced the "Big Data" initiative in March this year, whereby they wil pour some $200 million annually over the coming years to jack up the nation's core ability based on Big Data in such sectors as science, the environment, health, medial service, education and national security.

"It indicates that general companies and IT firms are concentrating on the use of Big Data to innovate the value of enterprises and markets. It also implies that a country should use Big Data to improve the level of the state itself, its citizens, and solve global problems," she explained.

"In line with this, Big Data within a country must garner interest not from social network service (SNS), financial transactions or commercial trade, but from such scientific studies on genes, climate and other censors," she noted.

Development direction of Big Data

Lee Sang-ho, managing director of IBM, said that the data surge these days is owed to the concurrent emergence of mobile and social media, beyond existing web environment, and people's interest in Big Data & Deep Analytics is heightening. "In the near future, attaining Big Data from the Internet sea and subsequently analyzing, using and predicting them will be enterprises' new competitive power. To do business utilizing the Big Data technology, an integrated platform solution is necessary which corporate customers can easily adopt.

"Some companies have already introduced high-level data analysis methods and reformed their business models for sustainable growth. They are utilizing Big Data technology in the smart transportation, smart grid and smart healthcare sectors to make the globe increasingly clever," he stressed.
