DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The aim of this talk is to introduce students to the
  type of work that many of the world's largest companies spend most of the
 ir IT budgets doing.  We'll introduce a simple "Internet of Things" data p
 rocessing pipeline (along with two white cats) and then discuss the challe
 nges involved in designing a more complex\, elastic solution that's capabl
 e of processing billions of transactions every hour.\n\nSpeaker details: \
 nJames Wyper studied Mathematics at Sidney Sussex from 1989-92.  He spent 
 the first 20 years of his career at Waitrose with projects ranging from cr
 awling competitor websites to get data for price comparison\, to fixing th
 e Fruit and Vegetable Warehousing system whenever it crashed (which was us
 ually at 2 a.m.).  He now works for Ab Initio helping current and potentia
 l customers understand the value of their software and how to get the most
  out of it.\n\nPlease register to attend by emailing JoinUs@abinitio.com.
