of Big Data Big data is all the rage. Computer scientists in databases, distributed systems,
machine learning and visualization have all trumpeted the challenge and opportunities of our
unprecedented—and exponentially increasing—access to data. Across academia, many
have heralded the dawn of a “fourth paradigm” of data-driven scientific research [1]. Industrial
observers see a growing demand for “data scientists” skilled in making sense of everything …
