DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to attend the ACM Distinguished Speaker Program @ Large Auditorium (Men) and Small Auditorium (Women)\, Prince Sultan University.\n\n \nSDMA2016 REGISTRATION (Please take a minute to register for the Symposium)\n \n\nKey Note Title: Thinking Differently about Data\, Data Careers\, and Data Research in the Post Big Data Era\nAbstract: It is a good time to pause and reflect on three items that current research indicates are still problematic for most organizations.  First\, is the growing understanding that data as an asset has certain characteristics that argue for better treatment.  Second\, the way in which data is taught should be reconsidered.  Teaching future researchers and business leaders that data is solely a technical skill leads to directly to its poor treatment within organizations.  Third data research would benefit from a more socio-technical focus.  Applying these in concert will help organizations to recognize that we need to think differently about our organization's sole non-depletable\, non-degrading\, durable strategic asset.\n Key Note Speaker\nDr.Peter Aiken is acknowledged to be a top data management (DM) authority.
