Several CUHK research students will present this workshop together. By hands-on exercising 3 currently widely used platform, we give the audience a deeper understanding of de facto standard massive data processing frameworks. Participants are required to have mastering knowledge of Unix/Linux; general understanding of programming and algorithm; better to know basics of Docker (used to distribute OS images). We plan to take the whole afternoon.
