Shay Banon, GigaSpaces' Director of Technology will talk at the upcoming QCon event on March 11.

 QCon is a well known enterprise software development conference designed for team leads, architects and project management. QCon provides opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the Java, .NET, Ruby, SOA, Agile, and architecture communities.

 Shay will give his presentation "Beyond the Data Grid - Designing for Actor Model, Social Networks, Scalable Search" on 4:30pm at the Wordsworth Room. In this session, Shay will discuss what's next for systems based on data grid technology. Data grids are most commonly used for pure data caching, but data grid solutions have made substantial progress and are capable of delivering much more. Shay will explore major advancements in this area and will provide design principles for implementing an Erlang-style Actor model, a scalable search engine (using Lucene), and complex data retrieval for social networks (e.g. finding friends of friends on Facebook).

Shay will also participate in the Performance and Scalability panel discussion that will take place On March 11, 10:30am at the Wordsworth Room
