The 'Digital Readiness' webcast series is a collaboration between the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and the System Engineering Research Center (SERC). Each webcast was headlined by various SERC researchers throughout our network of collaborators. This webcast was the the kick off to the entire 9-part webcast series, which were centered around the following three themes: 

1. DIGITAL ENGINEERING
2. DATA ANALYTICS
3. AI &  MACHINE LEARNING

The DAU Webcast "Digital Readiness: The World of Data" presented by Dr. Carlo Lipizzi, Stevens Institute of Technology, is the second of the three webcasts focused on Data Analytics in this "Digital Readiness" series. The whole webcast series can be viewed HERE.

Webcast Abstract: Data science is becoming an integral part of everything we do each day. Initially an exclusive domain of large corporation, data science is now at the personal level, with applications from domotics to wearables. What is adding value to our activities and what is just subtracting time? What are the technologies and approaches behind the most valuable solutions?

Data is market per se. Companies are investing in harvesting, curate, tag data, generating a huge market, serving sectors from marketing to security to intelligence. How can we benefit from the current increasing data availability and from the synergies between the different sources?

This presentation addresses the above questions, providing a picture of the general state of practice.
