Big Data Business Intelligence for Govt. Agencies
35 HoursTechnological advancements and the exponential growth of information are reshaping operational practices across numerous sectors, including government. The generation of government data and the rates of digital archiving are climbing, driven by the rapid expansion of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors and IoT devices, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information becomes more expansive and complex, the management, processing, storage, security, and disposition of this data also become more intricate. New tools for capture, search, discovery, and analysis are enabling organizations to derive meaningful insights from unstructured data. The government sector is reaching a critical juncture, recognizing information as a strategic asset. To better serve the public and fulfill mission requirements, governments must protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information. As government leaders strive to evolve their organizations into data-driven entities, they are establishing the foundation to correlate dependencies among events, personnel, processes, and information.
High-value government solutions will emerge from the integration of several disruptive technologies:
- Mobile devices and applications
- Cloud services
- Social business technologies and networking
- Big Data and analytics
Big Data represents a transformative industry solution that empowers government agencies to make superior decisions by acting on patterns revealed through the analysis of vast volumes of data—whether related or unrelated, structured or unstructured.
However, achieving these outcomes requires more than merely accumulating large amounts of data. "Making sense of these volumes of Big Data requires cutting-edge tools and technologies that can analyze and extract useful knowledge from vast and diverse streams of information," wrote Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in a post on the OSTP Blog.
The White House took a significant step toward assisting agencies in identifying these technologies by establishing the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. This initiative allocated over $200 million to maximize the potential of the Big Data explosion and the tools necessary to analyze it.
The challenges posed by Big Data are nearly as daunting as the promise it offers is encouraging. Efficient data storage is one such challenge. With budgets remaining tight, agencies must minimize the per-megabyte cost of storage while ensuring data remains easily accessible, allowing users to retrieve information when and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data further intensifies this challenge.
Effective data analysis presents another major hurdle. Many agencies utilize commercial tools to sift through vast amounts of data, identifying trends that enhance operational efficiency. (A recent study by MeriTalk revealed that federal IT executives believe Big Data could help agencies save over $500 billion while simultaneously fulfilling mission objectives.)
Custom-developed Big Data tools are also enabling agencies to meet their analytical needs. For instance, the Computational Data Analytics Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. This system has assisted medical researchers in identifying links that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they occur. It is also employed for routine tasks, such as screening resumes to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

IoT for Power Utility: Fundamentals, Frontiers and Strategy
22 HoursConnected devices are transforming numerous industries, with the power utility sector being no exception. Power utility companies currently face four primary challenges arising from the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT):
- Vendors are increasingly connecting machines, controllers, HMI systems, and SCADA to the cloud, promising enhanced analytics and insights for predictive and preventative maintenance. However, strict quarantine policies regarding critical assets prevent power companies from fully utilizing these new IoT features provided by machine and controller vendors.
- As the cost of solar and wind power microgrids continues to decrease, utility companies anticipate declining revenue from traditional power generation. To offset these losses, companies must aggressively pursue new revenue streams, such as home energy management as a service, energy storage as a service, grid services for EV charging, and grid services for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading between homes, microgrids, and batteries. These initiatives require facilitation through smart metering, smart grids, and secure transactions enabled by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) such as IOTA. Additionally, utilities are exploring opportunities to provide smart city services to local authorities.
- For critical infrastructure like dams, ICOLD (International Committee of Large Dams) mandates real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). This allows for the early detection of potential collapse risks in dams, rocks, or tunnels, enabling timely evacuation of affected populations.
- Another emerging revenue area is EV charging in parking facilities. IoT plays a crucial role in facilitating smart charging and smart parking solutions.
Over the past three years, IoT engineering has undergone massive changes, primarily driven by tech giants Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These companies have invested billions in developing IoT platforms that are easier to manage and more secure. IoT edge computing has also gained significant momentum in both research and deployment as the primary means for practical IoT implementation. The advent of 5G promises to further transform the IoT business landscape, leading to unprecedented funding for new IoT research areas. Consequently, it is essential for practicing engineers to understand the IoT platforms developed by major players like AWS, Google, and especially Microsoft.
However, none of these platforms offer a complete, exhaustive solution for scalable IoT. For instance, deploying smart meters to millions of homes requires additional technologies to secure the meters, manage radio networks, handle IoT management technology, and provide other secured services. The strategy, pricing, and security of any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given the interdisciplinary knowledge required, it is nearly impossible for any single company to assemble a team capable of meeting all these requirements.
This course aims to educate key decision-makers, developers, and security experts on the challenges, risks, and practical approaches to deploying IoT for next-generation power utility businesses.
Furthermore, with scalable deployment, managing IoT services for thousands of sensors and connections has emerged as a distinct engineering research subject. This area, formerly known as managed IoT services, is experiencing rapid growth as the challenges for scalable IoT far exceed the challenges of building them. These challenges include securing over-the-top firmware/software updates, managing sensor and system calibration, auto-diagnosing connection issues, identifying root causes of API failures, and tracking hardware and service health in distributed systems.
