Our Digital Future - Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Long Term Data Preservation and Access

Dr Rip Sohan (Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge)

Big data could mean big problems if results are outdated, wrong or inaccurate.  In this talk I will outline the problems of, and principles required to support guaranteed or reliable computing in future computation systems operating on big data with emphasis on reproducibility and verification.  I will also outline some of the work being carried out at the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory focused on providing support for guaranteed computing.
