Special Session on HPC, Data Lakes, and Computing Continuum
(HPC-ComCon 2024)
Modern computing techniques can store, process, and analyse large amounts of and diversity of data. These techniques could correlate a variety of datasets to gain insight and offer new services and applications. Among others, technologies that are playing a major role in gaining these capabilities are the Internet of Things, Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, High Performance Computing and High Performance Data Analytics. Although developed independently, the integration and interconnection of these technologies, referred to as Computing Continuum, has accelerated the growth of data-driven applications and unleashed numerous opportunities for industry, science, individuals, and society at large. This system of systems can execute complex tasks across multiple systems and multiple technologies. At the same time, numerous challenges are associated. Big data lakes are the inevitable progression of data warehouse technologies that many industries have started to adopt as data management systems. Recently, various research works have arisen on big data lakes under the three research axes, i.e., models, frameworks, and techniques. Also, other research has targeted the marketplace and data pricing problems with all their associated difficulties.
