CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Big Data Driven Risk and Contingency Management (BRCM 2018) in International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management
The International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management (ISSN: 2160-9624 e-ISSN: 2160-9632) ( http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-risk-contingency-man...) is covered in risk and contingency management, and is abstracted and indexed in ACM Digital, INSPEC, Bacon's Media Directory, Cabell's Directories, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, (SCOPUS is in progress).
Risk is the effect of uncertainty on goals. Where there is uncertainty, there is risk. Where there is risk, there should have contingency management. Therefore, uncertainty, risk and contingency are ubiquitous, and are always a topic for our research and development. However, the dramatic development of the Internet leads to global uncertainty in economy, military, industry, etc. Big data intensifies global uncertainty and risk in many areas including management decision making, healthcare, finance, banking, privacy and security.
Big data has become a strategic asset for industry, business, and national security. Big Data is also a key enabler of exploring business insights and economics of services. Big Data is characterized with at least six bigs: big volume, big velocity, big variety, big value, big veracity, and big market. Big data has brought about big challenge for risk and contingency management. For example, what big data driven approach can improve risk and contingency management in the age of big data? How can we manage big data driven risk and contingency in industry, finance, business and other sectors.
