CS585/DS503: Big Data Management

Project Teams:

For most projects, the students will be assigned into teams to work in a project by the instructor based on several criteria. The objective here is for you to experience team partners with different skills, learning styles, and skill sets, practice different team roles from colleague to leader, and to give everyone a chance at success by composing heterogeneous teams. For this reason, team partners are switched for each project. There will also be an opportunity to choose your own project partners, namely, for the final course project.
Projects Infrastructures:
The systems used are open-source; and thus available via download to you via the internet. We strongly encourage you to install the software on your own labtop, when possible.
