June 2015 Federal Big Data Summit Report

The most recent installment of the Federal Big Data Summit, held on June 18, 2015, included five MITRE-ATARC (Advanced Technology Academic Research Center) Collaboration Sessions. These collaboration sessions allowed industry, academic, government, and MITRE representatives the opportunity to collaborate and discuss challenges the government faces in big data. The goal of these sessions is to create a forum to exchange ideas and develop recommendations to further the adoption and advancement of big data techniques and best practices within the government.

This white paper summarizes the discussions in the collaboration sessions and presents recommendations for government and academia while identifying orthogonal points between challenge areas.
