As promised in the New Year’s post this year there are a lot of activities related to sublinear algorithms and big data. On behalf of their organizers (Alex, Ashish, Muthu, Sergei and myself) I would like to invite the readers of this blog to attend them and spread the word.

On June 14, FCRC 2015 will hold a workshop “Algorithmic Frontiers of Modern Massively Parallel Computation”.
The program is available here.
We are very excited to have a great lineup of speakers including:
- Nina Balcan (CMU)
- Paul Beame (University of Washington)
- Ravi Kumar (Google Research, CA)
- Vahab Mirrokni (Google Research, NYC)
- Ben Moseley (Washington University, St. Louis)
- Krzysztof Onak (IBM Research, NY)
- On August 27-28 DIMACS at Rutgers will host a 2-day workshop on massively parallel and sublinear algorithms.
This workshop will feature keynote talks by:
- Ashish Goel (Stanford)
- Piotr Indyk (MIT)
- John Langford (Microsoft Research, NYC)
- Sergei Vassilvitskii (Google Research, NYC)
- David Woodruff (IBM Research, Almaden)
I might be forgetting to mention some other events that I haven't been directly involved in, so please comment if there is anything else coming up.
Also, as a flashback I would like to mention the second “Sublinear Algorithms and Big Data Day” that took place at MIT on April 10. One of the highlights of the event was the poster session which featured a large number of exciting new results in the field. The full list is available here. This was probably the most successful poster session I have ever been to and we plan to continue this tradition next year. Thanks again to Gautam, Costis and Piotr for organization and support!
