报告摘要：
In an increasingly digitized world data become the utmost important power in triggering ICT technology innovations. The big data era is here. Vast amounts of data have been producing new and insightful information, and that of technology has started to impact our day-to-day lives. In handling big data, it is always interesting to discover what we, both the public and private sector, can do now in maximizing the benefits of big data. This talk shares understanding on Big Data concepts, examines opportunities and challenges in using big data from the ICT industry to complement existing ICT indicators, discusses research entries into big data, software hardware infrastructure, and importantly the role of different players including governments, enterprises and public individuals. In particular, I will introduce our ongoing cloud data resilience project, and future urban environmental big data project that is in collaboration with Auckland city council.
