Abstract：
Graph data are of growing importance in many applications, including the semantic web (i.e., RDF), social network analysis,bioinformatics, software engineering, e-commerce, finance and trading, fraud detection, and recommendation systems, because they model complicated structures and relationships well. The size and complexity of these graphs raise significant data management and data analysis challenges. This has led to a number of different algorithms and approaches to graph processing as well as systems that are based on these algorithms. In this presentation, I will focus on the platforms that have been developed to facilitate graph analytics. I will start with a classification of various approaches and systems, and then discuss the systems that have been developed to facilitate graph analytics.

Bio：
M. Tamer Özsu is a Professor of Computer Science in David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. He was the Director of the Cheriton School of Computer Science from January 2007 to June 2010, and the Associate Dean of Research of the Faculty of Mathematics from January 2014 to June 2016.
Dr. Özsu's research is on data management following two threads: large-scale data distribution, and management of non-traditional data (i.e., non-relational data). Currently, his research focus is on graph data and RDF data. Previously his research focus was on object systems, image, video, XML data, and their management in a distributed environment.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an elected member of the Science Academy of Turkey, and a member of Sigma Xi. He has been an ACM Distinguished Lecturer since 2007. He has held a Cheriton Faculty Fellowship (2013-2016), a University Research Chair (2004-2011), and a Faculty Research Fellowship (2000 - 2003) at the University of Waterloo, and a McCalla Research Professorship (1993-1994) at the University of Alberta. He was awarded the ACM SIGMOD Test-of-Time Award in 2015, the ACM SIGMOD Contributions Award in 2006, and The Ohio State University College of Engineering Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2008. He has received Outstanding Performance Award at the University of Waterloo in 2004, 2009, and in 2014.
