Event Info Please register at eventbrite: http://graphdatabases-lessonslearned.eventbrite.com to get your ticket! Graph Databases have many use cases in many industries, but one of the most interesting ones that are emerging is in the Gaming industry. Because of its real-time nature, games are a perfect environment to make use of graph-based queries that are the basis for in-game recommendations. Another interesting use case is the use of graph databases in the media industry. After an introduction to graph databases, Swedish based Ozma Games and Danish based Historyline will share their experiences with the use of the graph database. Agenda * Introduction to the Neo4j graph databases * Presentations by Historyline and Ozma Games * Introduction * Demo * Lessons learned * Questions and answers * Networking The event is free, but sign-up is required. If you do not show up - without cancelling your order - you have to pay a fee of 250 DKK/ticket. The fee will be donated to an open source or open data project of your choice. Sandwiches and drinks will be served. About the speakers Historyline Knowledge first becomes really interesting when looking at it in agreater perspective. Although historic events happen over time and are interrelated it has not been possible to observe and research them this way. With traditional historic sites and encyclopedias, historic events has to be queried one at a time, and to explore them you must read in-depth articles. Due to the format, relationships and dependencies to other historic events are typically not clear and often diminished to links where you can read more. Historyline is a graphical timeline of history. The timeline shows events in the order they happened and makes it possible also to include other historic events happening at the same time that could be affecting each other. Neo Technology Graphs are everywhere. From websites adding social capabilities to Telco’s providing personalized customer services to innovative bioinformatics research, organizations are adopting graph databases as the best way to model and query connected data. Neo Technology researchers have pioneered graph databases since 2000 and have been instrumental in bringing the power of the graph to numerous organizations worldwide, including 25 Global 2000 customers, such as Cisco, HP, Accenture, Deutsche Telekom, and Telenor. Serving customers in production for over a decade, Neo4j is the world’s leading graph database with the largest ecosystem of partners and tens of thousands of successful deployments. Ozma Games Ozma develops beautiful, playful and creative games and apps for tablets.

Event Info The focus of this new workshop is to elicit discussion and description of application areas and open challenges in managing large-scale graph-shaped data. Experiences including use-case descriptions, war stories and benchmarks as well as system descriptions are important ingredients of the meeting. The workshop is co-chaired by Thomas Neumann (TUM) and Peter Boncz (CWI).

Event Info La prochaine session est animée par Stefan à été consultant indépendant pendant 15 ans, principalement sur des applications Web (Ex. Grails), il a passé les 3 dernières années avec Neo4j. En plus de graviter dans l’écosystème Java, il est un vétéran Linux depuis le noyau 1.0.x. et il est pompier volontaire instructeur et chef d’équipe dans la région de Munich. Présentation Graph databases are a powerful member of the NOSQL family. For highly connected data, graph databases can be thousands of times faster than relational databases, making Neo4j popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to social, and telecoms to geospatial. Objectifs Each session (apart from the fundamentals and architecture) will be a mixture of a small amount of theory combined with a set of practical exercises designed to reinforce how to achieve sophisticated goals with Neo4j. The practical parts of the tutorial consist of Koan-style lessons where a specific aspect of the Neo4j stack is presented as a set of failing unit tests which participants will work to fix, gradually becoming more challenging until the attendees are capable of implementing sophisticated graph operations against Neo4j. Répartition : 0% Théorie, 100% Pratique Public : Architect, Developer Pré-requis : Attendees won't need any previous experience with Neo4j or NOSQL databases, but will require some fluency in Java, a little familiarity with a modern IDE, and a basic understanding of JUnit to help complete the lab tasks. Programme NoSQL and Graph Database overview Neo4j Fundamentals and Architecture The Neo4j Core API Indexing Neo4j Traverser APIs Declarative querying with Cypher Graph algorithms Solutions architecture: using Neo4j in large systems

Event Info Dieser Neo4j Workshop führt in die Funktionsweise und Nutzung der Neo4j Graphendatenbank ein. Durch eine Mischung aus Theorie und praktischen Übungen können die Teilnehmer schnell erlernen, wie einfach es ist, eine auf Neo4j basierende Applikation zu erstellen. Die Themen im Einzelnen: - Einführung in Neo4j - Überblick über die Abfragesprache Cypher - Darstellung eines Anwendungsfalls: Soziales Netzwerk, inklusive Freundes-Empfehlung - praktische Modellierung von Zugriffsrechten - Modellierung weiterer Anwendungsfälle in verschiedenen Gebieten - Diskussion von Fragen zu bestehenden Projekten, mögliche Implementierungsstrategien, Evaluations-Ansätze Die Teilnehmer benötigen keinerlei Erfahrung mit Neo4j, mit NOSQL Datenbanken oder spezifischen Programmiersprachen. Erfahrung mit Datenbanken im Allgemeinen sind hilfreich. Sie benötigen aber eigene Laptops für eine Installation von Neo4j. USB-Sticks mit den notwendigen Daten werden bereitgestellt. Für das leibliche Wohl ist gesorgt!

Event Info Um die Diskussionen des Neo4j Tutorials fortzusetzen, aber auch ein paar neue, interessante Themen zu beleuchten, findet am Abend des 25. Juni ein Neo4j Meetup bei buschmais in Dresden statt. Der erste Vortrag von Michael Hunger stellt die Neuerungen in Neo4j 2.0 vor, besonders die Erweiterung des Graphenmodells um Labels und Indizes aber auch neue Möglichkeiten in der Graphenabfragesprache Cypher und Interaktionsmöglichkeiten mit dem Neo4j-Server werden gezeigt. Eine Verbindung zur Softwareanalyse wird im 2. Vortrag gezogen. Das Graphenmodell eignet sich sehr gut, um Strukturen von Programmen und Projekten abzubilden. Mit einer Graphendatenbank wie Neo4j kann man dieses dann nutzen, um interessante Fragen zu stellen und zu beantworten, z.B. die Anwendung von Architektur-Constraints oder auch die Suche nach verbesserungswürdigen Codestellen im Projekt. An zwei praktischen Beispiel-Tools wird gezeigt, wie das ganz einfach selbst umzusetzen ist.

Event Info As we have noticed that many of our meetup group members are looking for introductory type information on what graph databases are, how they can be used, what purposes that they serve, we would like to organise a short, two hour meeting (followed by a light lunch) to give you exactly that information. Participation is free but seats are limited. During this 1.5 hour session we will present, explain and discuss introductory topics that require no prior knowledge on graph databases at all. After the presentation, there will be plenty of time to discuss and network, and share a drink with us if you like.

Event Info Note: please register on the SkillsMatter site for this event as well so that we can guarantee speedy access to the venue when you get there... We all know that graph traversals can be fantastic for recommendations in online applications. But what if we would be able to use some more sophisticated recommendation technology, social and other algorithms to power our applications? That's what reco4j - the recommendation framework on top of neo4j - provides. During this meetup, we want to discuss and explore this framework together. Speakers: Rik Van Bruggen, Neo Technology Alessandro Negro, Reco4j

Event Info During this Summer Special we will give you a short introduction about Hadoop and Neo4J. You will learn the basics of Hive (SQl on a Hadoop Cluster) and Cypher (Query language for Neo4J) Programme and Course Overview: We start this class with a short introduction about Hadoop and Neo4J. Participants will learn the basics of Hive (SQL on a Hadoop cluster) and Cypher (Query language of Neo4J). After the introductions we’ll start analysing a large dataset (+/- 250.000 emails). During the course students will be able to work on a Hadoop Cluster. With the help of the Hive Query language we'll prepare this data into a format suited to build a Neo4J database. After this step we'll build up a Neo4J database with the help of a few prepared Map/Reduce jobs. With these jobs the underlying filestructure of Neo4J will be created on the Hadoop Cluster after which the dataset will be available as a Neo4J database. The last step involves the Cypher Query Language and a basic visualization tool to query and explore several parts of the dataset in Neo4J. Target Group & Prerequisites: This course is suitable for developers, data analysts and business analysts. Experience with SQL and scripting languages is recommended, but is not required. No pre-existing knowledge of Hadoop or Neo4J is required.

Event Info Spring Data Neo4j in its 2.x version is a mature implementation of an object graph mapping framework, that both closely integrates with the Spring Framework and also offers unique modeling and querying opportunities by having chosen the property graph data model. This talk presents how several Neo Technology customers already put Spring Data Neo4j into production. They stem from a variety of domains – gaming, server center monitoring, education, appliance management, energy market simulation and more. Based on those use-cases we discuss how to implement real-world applications with Spring Data Neo4j and the Spring Framework. First we want to discuss the business problems they had to solve and why a graph database was a good fit for them. After a quick intro to Spring Data Neo4j and Neo4j, we will talk about modeling choices and the benefits and implications of choosing a rich data model. We'll follow the example domains into code, from annotated domain entities, to the usage of the powerful repository abstractions. Showing how to use Neo4jTemplate to implement some lower level functionality will round off the core library usage. Building on this, we look into the integration aspects, how Spring Data Neo4j can be combined with other Spring projects, like Spring Data MongoDB, Spring Data REST, and Spring Batch. A quick demonstration shows on how to access Spring Data Neo4j from the (Web)-UI layer. The talk will close of with a glimpse into the future: Neo4j added some very interesting features in its 2.0 release. From node labels, automatic indexes and constraints to a transactional http endpoint for Cypher. These changes make it possible to rethink some aspects of Spring Data Neo4j, like type representation and indexing. But also some bigger ideas for changes ahead like basing the object graph mapping completely on Neo4j's Cypher Graph Query Language will be touched. SPEAKER: Michael Hunger, Head of Spring Integration, Neo Technology

Event Info Agenda 18:30 - 19:00 Uhr Türen auf, Networking 19:00 - 19:15 Uhr Ansage, Kurzvortrag 19:15 - 20:30 Uhr Fachvortrag (je nach Vortrag) 20:30 - ??? Uhr Diskussion, Wissensaustausch Beschreibung Wenn man unsere Welt mit offenen Augen betrachtet, sieht man schnell, dass in vielen Bereichen des öffentlichen und privaten Lebens Verbindungen zwischen Personen, Dingen, Orten und Ereignissen eine herausragende Rolle spielen. Leider war es bisher schwierig dieses reichhaltige Netz in unsere Anwendungen und Systeme zu überführen da die meisten Datenbanken mit eine Vielzahl von Beziehungen zwischen stark normalisierten Objekten so ihre Probleme haben. Graphendatenbanken nehmen sich dieser Herausforderung an und behandeln Beziehungen als integralen Bestandteil ihres Datenmodells um eine flexible Abbildung wenig strukturierter und stark vernetzter Daten einfach möglich zu machen und auch bei komplexen Abfragen mit vielen "JOINs" nicht in Performance-Probleme zu laufen. Neo4j ist so eine (die) open-source Graphendatenbank, die schon seit 10 Jahren aktiv entwickelt wird. Im Vortrag werde ich auf diverse Aspekte von Graphen, Graphendatenbanken, der Datenmodellierung und unserer Abfragesprache Cypher eingehen, die sowohl für Graphen als auch für Menschen besonders geeignet ist. Sprecher Stefan Armbruster, Field Engineer, Neo Technology Stefan war knapp 15 Jahre lang freiberuflicher Consultant im Bereich Webapplications (inbes. Java und Grails) und arbeitet seit über 3 Jahren mit Neo4j. Neben der Entwicklertätigkeit im Java-Umfeld setzt er Linux seit den Tagen des 1.0.x Kernels ein. Aktuell ist er für Neo Technology als Presales-Engineer für den europäischen Raum tätig. Ort: In den Räumen der SHI Elektronische Medien GmbH, Curt-Frenzel-Str. 12, 86167 Augsburg Am Gebäudeeingang befindet sich dann ein Wegweiser.
