Rick Rashid: A data driven world
On Tuesday 18 May 2010, Mr. Richard F. Rashid -Senior Vice President at Microsoft- has visited the library and gave a lecture titled “A data driven world”. The lecture tackled the idea of how the ability to collect, store and process large amounts of data, has initiated new paradigms for solving problems. Additionally, he has discussed the significant shift in the way problems are being solved specifically in computer science and generally in other sciences, and the implications of this shift for Microsoft.
