Workshop on Performance and Reliability (WOPR)
Denver, CO
There is a subtle and often overlooked distinction between Data and Information. All of us consume copious amounts of data so frequently and rapidly, that we sometimes (albeit unconsciously) think of data as information, applying context from how we gathered the data and from our own personal experiences.
Data by itself is relatively meaningless. The number 72 has little meaning on its own. However, if we apply the context of age, weight, price, or miles per hour (through a speed trap), we see how context produces greater meaning.
As performance and reliability engineers, we have a tendency to surround ourselves with data, amassing large databases and spreadsheets of data related to system utilization levels, application logs and output, user behaviors, and so forth. From that we might make all sorts of colorful charts, graphs, plots, and documents. The question to be asked is, for what purpose? For this WOPR, the focus is on data visualization, data interpretation, and how we take data and apply analysis to derive meaning.

Internet Retailer Conference & Expo 2012
Mentora Booth #639
Welcome to 21st Century retailing, where customers are not just always right, they also wield total control. They shop at any time of day or night, from any device with an Internet connection. They research products online, exchange shopping practices on social networks, and are often more knowledgeable about merchandise than store associates. They demand and expect high performance e-commerce sites and quickly abandon those that fall short. To serve this shopper, Mentora is helping today's e-retailers keep pace with the rapidly changing trends of their business. Look for Mentora's booth (639) at this year's conference on June 5-8 in Chicago, IL.
The 8th annual Internet Retailer Conference and Exhibition, by far the world's largest e-commerce event, is where an expected 7,500 e-retailing executives will go to learn the latest practices and tools for connecting with consumer via in-depth examinations of such topics as social media, mobile commerce, e-marketing, web merchandising, improving back-end operations, boosting conversions and profitability, and much more.
