Statistical Analysis of Massive Data Streams: Proceedings of a Workshop (2004)
Chapter: TRANSCRIPT OF PRESENTATION
Transcript of Presentation
MR. SCOTT: This is a very statistically oriented committee, but we were very much interested in bringing in research scientists to help us understand the data opportunities out there, and to bring a good description of problems that might be available for research.
Certainly, our second topic today falls into this category in a nice way. It deals with high-energy physics. We have three outstanding speakers, two physicists and a computer scientist, to lead us in the discussion.
We want to remind everybody that we intend, in some sense, to have a question or two during the talks, if possible, as long as it is for clarification and hopefully in the discussion at the end, when we come back together, you will have a chance to sort of express your ideas as well. We would like to capture those.
I am editor of JCGS and again, I would like to extend an invitation to the speakers to consider talking with me about putting together a small research article for the journal, a special issue of the journal, later this year—next year.
With that, I would like to turn it over to our first speaker, who tells me that, as all physicists, he has traveled all around the world. He is now at Berkeley.
