This, among many other drivers, is fueling the assimilation of business intelligence and business analytics approaches within organizations across various industries as more and more data becomes available allowing for more detailed analyses. Business Analytics Management research explores organizational and technological advances to improve business performance in a continuous and iterative way. Business intelligence and business analytics approaches typically include ETL, OLAP as well as exploratory data analysis techniques to provide historical, current, and predictive views of the business. However, limited attention has been given to the individual’s perspective focusing on personal objectives and characteristics as enabling or suppressing factors to business intelligence and business analytics use. The big data challenge, fueled by increasing variety, volume, velocity, and veracity of data, bares large potential for research and practice by extending existing analytics beyond the traditional organizational borders. New phenomena or paradigm changes from the use of analytics approaches emerge the same way as other business models do. Furthermore, the availability of seemingly endless computing and cheaper storage capabilities available through the cloud computing enables new opportunities in providing a global gateway to information as a service. Motivated by the explosion of interest in these emerging fields, the Business Analytics Management and Applications track promotes multidisciplinary contributions dealing with managerial, economic, cultural, architectural, and technological perspectives on the management of business intelligence and business analytics technology as well as applications. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral research are encouraged. We welcome full research papers, research in progress papers, and prototype papers. The track’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Management of Business Intelligence and Business Analytics (BI&A) and Big Data * Strategic and change management issues stemming from BI&A and big data * Business value and success of BI&A and big data * Big data driven business model innovation * Organizational issues in BI&A and big data implementation and operations * Adoption, routinization, maturity, and use of BI&A and big data * Data quality, data governance * Conceptual modeling of BI&A and big data * Societal impact of BI&A and big data * Emerging trends in BI&A and big data Applications of Business Intelligence and Business Analytics (BI&A) and Big Data * BI&A in the cloud, BI&A as a service * Real-time analytics and operational BI, event-driven BA * Business activity monitoring and process analytics * Use cases and innovative applications of BI&A and big data * BI&A and big data’s new frontiers in, e.g., social (media), sports, education, healthcare * Digital manufacturing and the Internet of Things * Data visualization, visual analytics We are looking forward to seeing you in Portsmouth 2018!

Fwd: [computational.science] [DEADLINE EXTENSION] Special Issue on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Nov '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] [DEADLINE EXTENSION] Special Issue on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining Datum: Thu, 16 Nov 2017 16:45:27 +0100 Von: Massimo Cafaro <massimo.cafaro(a)unisalento.it> An: Jianying Zhou via computational.science <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Special Issue on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining Information Sciences, Elsevier Submission deadline: February 1th, 2018 The sheer volume of new data, which is being generated at an increasingly fast pace, has already produced an anticipated data deluge that is difficult to challenge. We are in the presence of an overwhelming vast quantity of data, owing to how easy is to produce or derive digital data. Even the storage of this massive amount of data is becoming a highly demanding task, outpacing the current development of hardware and software infrastructure. Nonetheless, this effort must be undertaken now for the preservation, organization and long-term maintenance of these precious data. However, the collected data is useless without our ability fully understand and make use of it. Therefore, we need new algorithms to address this challenge. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. This Special Issue takes into account the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. Parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators available on parallel computers. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. Moreover, increasingly the data is spread among different geographically distributed sites. Centralized processing of this data is very inefficient and expensive. In some cases, it may even be impractical and subject to security risks. Therefore, processing the data minimizing the amount of data being exchanged whilst guaranteeing at the same time correctness and efficiency is an extremely important challenge. Distributed data mining performs data analysis and mining in a fundamentally distributed manner paying careful attention to resource constraints, in particular bandwidth limitation, privacy concerns and computing power. The focus of this Special Issue is on all forms of advances in high-performance and distributed data mining algorithms and applications. The topics relevant to the Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following. TOPICS OF INTEREST Scalable parallel data mining algorithms using message-passing, shared-memory or hybrid programming paradigms Exploiting modern parallel architectures including FPGA, GPU and many-core accelerators for parallel data mining applications Middleware for high-performance data mining on grid and cloud environments Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining Map-reduce based parallel data mining algorithms Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining Novel distributed data mining algorithms SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted electronically through Elsevier Editorial System (EES) at http://ees.elsevier.com/ins (http://ees.elsevier.com/ins).
