DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will explore the core components of Apache Sp
 ark and examine what makes it a powerful and efficient engine for large-sc
 ale data processing. We&#39;ll discuss how Spark achieves performance through 
 in-memory computing\, DAG execution\, and parallelism\, while also highlig
 hting common challenges related to scalability and resource optimization i
 n big data environments. Finally\, we&#39;ll introduce how AI techniques—suc
 h as intelligent workload management and adaptive query optimization—can
  be leveraged to enhance performance and efficiency in Spark-based archite
 ctures.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Fairleigh Dickinson University\n\nSpeaker(s):
