Big Data Application Round Table
ROUND TABLE OBJECTIVES
B/HERT’s round table program is a forum for dialogue and engagement between universities and business to promote effective
and productive working relationships among the sectors.
As part of this, B/HERT is hosting a round table on Analysing Big Data - one of the most important areas for innovation across the
government, business, research and higher education sectors in Australia, as well as regionally and globally.
There is no bigger ‘big data application’ than proposed for ‘The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) program’, a global next-generation radio
telescope project involving institutions from over 20 countries, reflecting an Internet of Everything (IoE) model that will operate at
the Exabyte scale, and will be capable of downloading the equivalent of the global internet within its first five minutes of operation.
Australia is a key host and leader for this program, involving CSIRO, Curtin University, UWA, Cisco, along with the Federal and
WA Governments.
We are now in period where there are more things connected to the Internet than there are people in the world with this new phase
of the evolution of the Internet, the Internet of Everything (IoE), changing the way industries and countries compete. IoE is bringing
together people, process, data, and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before, turning
information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity for businesses,
individuals, and countries.
The scale and scope of the SKA exemplifies the necessity of genuine stakeholder collaboration in undertaking a project that is
designed to expand understanding of the universe. As the largest and most capable radio telescope ever constructed, the SKA will
during its 50+ year lifetime drive technological development worldwide. Industry, government and university investment in the
SKA project is an investment in Australia’s future because the skills, capabilities and institutions necessary to make it a success are
increasingly the same skills, capabilities and institutions necessary to fuel the next phase of innovation in virtually every dimension of
Australia’s economic, social and environmental performance. This would include programs such as Woodside’s ‘Plant of the Future’
in accelerating innovations in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production.
B/HERT is partnering with Curtin University, an integral player in the development of the SKA project; Cisco Systems Pty Ltd, one of the
primary industry partners developing opportunities beyond the SKA through the Internet of Things (IoT) initiative; and Woodside as a
major industry partner that could leverage advances through the SKA program.
At the heart of the SKA’s success will be the ability to:
i) excel in the four key elements of data, analytics, networks and innovation;
ii) design and manage their interaction and interdependence, and
iii) position these elements as a ‘competitive diamond’ at the heart of national aspirations for innovation.
Transformation in promoting collaboration of government, universities, large and small private sector organisations and the looser
networks of entrepreneurs and digital innovators is critical and urgent to Australia’s competitive advantage in research and science
leading to sustainable prosperity in the digital economy.
Speakers and round table participants from the business, government and education sectors will contribute to •
•
•
•

progressing the translation of research for application in industry;
building capability in big data and data analytics;
applying effective collaboration models between higher education and industry;
review commercialisation of research opportunities.
Big Data Application Round Table
ADDITIONAL SKA BACKGROUND & APPLICATION TO WIDER INDUSTRIES
As telescopes become larger and more complex over the next decade, they will generate orders of magnitude more data than telescopes of
the past. The raw data rates produced by the emerging generation of astronomy facilities are pushing technology and techniques as hard as
or harder than any other application. Industry sees this as an opportunity, driving the development of products that can be applied in a
wide variety of markets. Astronomers recognise that data intensive research will be an important theme in the next decade and beyond.
This Decadal Plan reflects this recognition through community support for initiatives such as the All-Sky Virtual Observatory (ASVO).
The development and effective utilisation of the ASVO and other data related initiatives will require the astronomy community to foster a
new type of scientist, dedicated to data intensive activities - managing, curating, manipulating, processing vast volumes of data, extracting
information from it and making data and information available and accessible to other scientists. Currently these scientists are largely
missing from the community and a challenge for the next decade will be to train such scientists and create career paths for them. These data
experts will be critically important for the SKA and its precursor instruments in Australia.
Data intensive scientists are likely to be multi-disciplinary and will likely have to move between academia and industry in order to bring
solutions from outside astronomy. This need is an opportunity for astronomy to embrace industry/academic engagements, as industry has
similar requirements across a range of different markets.
Embryonic work in this direction is already underway. An example of an initiative that may grow to meet astronomy and industry
requirements is the Exascale Data Alliance (EDA). The EDA is industry-led (CISCO) and is bringing together academia, industry, and
government agencies to explore the development of a centre motivated by the grand challenges of the SKA that will link academia with
industry via physical co-location and shared challenges, encouraging mixing across the range of industry and academic experiences.
A central theme of the EDA will be the training of undergraduate and graduate researchers, broadening their skills and encouraging careers
that move back and forth between the academic and industry worlds. The benefit will be innovative and effective solutions to problems of
importance to industry and the research community.

Museum Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Support of Defence or National Security.
This technology is now being developed for real-time analysis of soil properties for agriculture,
as well as applications in food science, defence and medicine.
John has a strong commitment to research and teaching and believes strongly that the nexus
between the two is essential, particularly in developing new ways to inspire and educate future
engineers. He is particularly interested in developing leadership in students and graduates, and
an understanding that solutions are not only technical but have social, economic and cultural
dimensions that need to be taken into account.
