Abstract:                                  MAFIA is a lightweight
enterprise data integration service, with which line-of-business users
can create and catalog high-value data feeds for consumption by
situational applications. MAFIA is inspired by the Web 2.0 mashup
phenomenon. It consists of (1) a browser-based user-interface that
allows for the specification of data mashups as data flow graphs using a
set of MAFIA operators, (2) a server with an execution engine, as well
as (3) APIs for searching, debugging, executing and managing mashups.
MAFIA offers a framework and functionality for dynamic entity
resolution, streaming and other higher value features particularly
important in the enterprise domain. MAFIA is currently in perpetual beta
in the IBM Intranet.  

 

Altinel will present the MAFIA platform, and highlight the main research
issues that are being investigated. If time remains, he will give a
quick demo of the prototype, and talk about relevant projects underway
at the IBM Almaden Research Center.

 

Bio:                                          Mehmet Altinel is a member
