DSI 2014 Big Data for Intelligence Symposium

DSI’s Big Data for Intelligence Symposium is designed as an educational and training “Town Hall” forum, where thought leaders and key policy-makers across military and civilian organizations can come together for actionable discussions and debate. The symposium will focus on data analysis to support time-sensitive decision-making.

The Symposium will focus on the following topics:

Utilizing the IC Cloud to Improve Intelligence Data Sharing
Improving data management through efficient representation
Integrating data to support effective operations
Advances in activity based intelligence
Managing time and volume to achieve mission success
Adopting the IC Information Technology Enterprise

Attendees will include senior leaders from the Intelligence Community as well as the IT Community.

About the Event:

The past ten years of war have dramatically improved the IC’s ability to collect intelligence. With ever increasing technology and sophistication of sensors, the amount of information being collected has overwhelmed analysis systems and current processes. Today the Armed Services and Defense Agencies must accelerate the development and fielding of initiatives focused on the optimization of processing, exploitation and dissemination of capabilities to achieve greater automation of intelligence and data.

Intelligence organizations across government have an opportunity to exploit large data sets in order to produce actionable intelligence. The technology to visualize and exploit large, unstructured data sets provides the IC with a unique opportunity to dramatically improve their effectiveness and efficiency.
