The missions and data of governments make the government sector one of particular importance for Big Data solutions.
The missions and data of governments make the government sector one of particular importance for Big Data solutions. The government has special abilities to focus research in areas like Health Sciences, Economics, Law Enforcement, Defense, Geographic Studies, Environmental Studies, Bioinformatics, and Computer Security. Government-Industry teams are working to field Big Data solutions in all these fields. We are looking for examples of solutions in these areas worthy of national recognition.

The Government Big Data Solutions Award was established to help facilitate the exchange of best practices, lessons learned and creative ideas for solutions to hard data challenges. We are seeking nominations which highlight best practices in solving big data challenges, especially those built around the Apache Hadoop framework.
Award winners will be written up in our online technology reviews. A presentation of awards will also be made at Hadoop World 2011.
You may nominate industry solution providers with proven capabilities, government organizations who have built or implemented Big Data solutions or individuals who have played a direct role in establishing capability. The key criteria we are evaluating is the utility of the solution to serve government missions.
Our judges include: Doug Cutting (creator of Lucene and Hadoop), Alan Wade (former CIA and IC CIO), Ryan Lasalle (Accenture Cyber R&D), Ed Granstedt (QinetiQ Strategic Solution Center) and Chris Dorobek (Founder, editor and publisher of DorobekInsider.com).
