Proteins and their intricate network of interactions are the mainstay of any cellular process. Dissecting these networks at atomic detail is invaluable, as this paves the route to a mechanistic understanding of biological function and provides the first essential step toward the development of new drugs. Because of the challenges associated with experimental techniques, structural biologists have to resort more and more these days to complementary computational methods.

Big Data systems are computer systems that are based on similar design plans to all the others. We can therefore talk about the management of data in Big Data systems (Big Data Management) and using these data to extract knowledge relevant to the organization with Data Mining and Machine Learning algorithms (Big Data Analytics). Unlike traditional systems, however, there is not so much justification to separate the data exploitation management part, as there is no universal solution for storing data and exploiting them in a Big Data environment. Instead, the architectural solution depends on the specific case of use (exploitation) being considered. This Postgraduate programme provides an overview of Big Data ecosystem and considers both aspects in depth: management (Big Data Management) and exploitation of data (Big Data Analytics), while providing applicability and a business vision within this system.

This SIESTA school, organized within the European Centre of Excellence MaX, is a four-day hands-on tutorial on the use of the SIESTA code for users and those who would like to learn how to use it.
