Beschreibung
This book contains eight chapters, where five are the summary of the tutorials and workshops organized as a part of the Summer School of the cHiPSet. The authors strongly believe that this book delivers the solid backgrounds for the development of new-generation data-intensive intelligent systems. (High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications Cost Action on "New Trends in Modeling and Simulation in HPC Systems" was held in Bucharest (Romania) on September 21-23, 2016.) Modelling and Simulation (MS) in the Big Data era is widely considered the essential tool in Science and Engineering to substantiate the prediction and analysis of complex systems and natural phenomena. MS offers suitable abstractions to manage the complexity of analyzing Big Data in various scientific and engineering domains. Unfortunately, Big Data problems are not always easily amenable to efficient MS over HPC (High Performance Computing). Also, MS communities may lack the detailed expertise required to exploit the full potential of HPC solutions, and HPC architects may not be fully aware of specific MS requirements The main goal of the Summer School was to improve the participants' practical skills and knowledge of the novel HPC-driven models and technologies for Big Data applications. The trainers, who are also the authors of the chapters of this book, explained how to design, construct, and utilize the complex MS tools that capture many of the HPC modeling needs, from scalability to fault tolerance and beyond. The remaining three chapters present the first results of the school: new ideas and novel results of the research on security aspects in clouds, first prototypes of the complex virtual models of data in Big Data streams and data-intensive computing framework for Opportunistic Networks. All that work was realized by the trainees in their research teams. It is a good reference book for those who want to start their work in HPC and Big Data systems, as well as for advanced researchers and practitioners.
