Dr. *Tony Hey*, Vice President of Microsoft Inc., will highlight in his
keynote speech the major issues that e-science scholars and researchers are
faced with when working with large and distributed data sets, processing
and visualizing them using advanced technologies and software packages.  He
will share his views on some of the challenges that both scholars and
information professionals have to tackle (e.g., gathering, curating,
organizing, storing, and managing large amount of data, and providing
perpetual access to them over the Internet). Mr. *Serkan Orçan*, Deputy
Director of TUBITAK's National Academic Network and Information Center
(ULAKBIM) will review in his keynote speech the state of the art of
e-science and e-infrastructures in Turkey and evaluate them from technical
and administrative viewpoints.  Keynote speeches will be followed by a
panel on "*Big Data and E-Science*" in which the challenges of using big
data in various scientific disciplines such as medicine, climatology,
geology, and information science will be discussed.



On Friday, September 21, 2012, Dr. *Buğra Karabey*,  National Technology
Officer of Microsoft Turkey, will address in his keynote speech the issues
of privacy and big data.
