What is Spark?
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
•Spark is an application framework
for doing highly iterative analysis
that scales to large volumes of
data.
•Spark provides a platform to bring
application developers, data
scientists, and data engineers
together in a unified, easy to use,
environment.*

Apache Spark™ lowers the barrier to entry to build analytics applications, by reducing the time
and complexity to develop analytic workflows.
What is the STC?
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
Bridge: STC is an interface between IBM
and the Spark community.
Contribute: We contribute to the Apache
Spark project.
Build: We build applications & experiences
on the Spark technology platform.
STC Design Mission
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
Make data available to everyone.
• We are a multi-disciplinary team of designers who
collaborate with the Spark community
• to create data experiences that benefit real people,
everywhere.
• We want to take Big Data out of the laboratory, and put it in
the hands of people who can use it to do amazing things.
Everything we do is open-source, available to the world.
How do we work?

STC Design has three primary areas of focus:
Create: Build new data science tools for
the community
Consume: Build experiences that demonstrate
the capabilities of Spark
Engage: Build experiences in collaboration
with clients & the community
Focus #1: Create
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
Current tools for data scientists are crude, difficult to use, and have a steep learning curve. It won’t always be this
way: STC Design aspires to create beautiful, powerful, easy to use tools for the community.
First project: redesign the Apache Zeppelin notebook to make it the best available for data scientists.
Focus #2: Consume
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
Data science means nothing unless “real” people can benefit from the technology. “Consume” apps are built to
place the power of data in the hands of anyone: business people, doctors, students, regular people anywhere. The
first of these apps is RedRock, a simple yet powerful Twitter analysis tool for the iPad.
Focus #3: Engage
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
STC Design is an IBM Studio, a place to collaborate with clients, partners and the open source community to
create data experiences that benefit the world.
Engage: Mission
visit www.spark.tc for more informationIBM | Spark
Engage with the open source
community and promote
technologies around big data
leveraging Spark.
We aspire to help people with great ideas, or work
together to solve problems in ways that can be
extended to people and businesses everywhere.

We would love to collaborate with
projects that are aligned with our
mission.
We could help teams with anything
regarding design thinking or design
process (from user research to ideation
sessions and visual design creation).

RedRock is an app that analyzes Twitter data to help
people understand the response to any keyword:
-what are the unique conversations on the topic?
-how do people feel about the topic?
-when and from where have tweets originated?
-what are the professions of the people involved?
-what other topics are part of the conversation?
RedRock was kicked off the week after STC Design
launched, and the app was launched within a month.

RedRock v2 built upon the RedRock foundations, but
with better visualizations, massively more data (2B
tweets), continuous data updating, and near
instantaneous performance.
RedRock was kicked off in September, and launched
mid October.

Apache Zeppelin is the open source notebook that
forms the core user experience of IOP. Alongside the
IOP work of integrating Zeppelin into the platform, the
team is working on improvements to the open-source
version of the design. As of November, we have
already committed several bug fixes, and have core
improvements to UI functionality and design language
ready to submit.
RedRock
IBM Analytics Platform
1 2A Data Scientist or Data Engineer will be able to produce data visualizations directly from a notebook, and share these visualizations with stakeholders, in standard formats (i.e. .pdf, .exl, .html).
Data Scientists and Data Engineers will be able to actively collaborate,using their language of choice, in the same notebook, in real-time.
A member of the open source community will see IBM Design directly contributing assets to the Apache Zeppelin project and think of IBM Design as a leader in open source design.
