MT4BD 2015 Call For Papers (EXTENDED DEADLINE)
===================================================== 2nd Workshop on New Methods and Tools for Big Data (MT4BD-2015) http://prlab.ceid.upatras.gr/mt4bd2015 14-17 September 2015, Bayonne/Biarritz - France SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE: April 26th, 2015 =====================================================
We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to the 2nd Workshop on “New Methods and Tools for Big Data (MT4BD-2015)” - held as a part of the 11th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI 2015) http://aiai2015.sigappfr.org.
The provision of a large amount of data from various sources (Internet, Social Media, Application Logs, Data Warehouses, Sensors, Mobiles, Open Data, etc.) is now emerging into the collection and processing of “Big Data”. While Big Data notion is adopted from both academic and enterprise communities, there is currently a wide gap between its potential and its realization. Variety, velocity, scale, complexity, interpretation and security problems with Big Data raise challenges at all phases of the pipeline that can extract information and knowledge from it. Thus, there is a natural interest in using these data asset to improve a variety of applications. It is very interesting to explore how the researchers utilize data-driven strategies and discover what disciplines will charge because of the advent of data. With the vast amount of data now available modern business are facing with the challenges of storage, management, analysis, privacy, visualization, security and data integration.
The aim of this workshop is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for bringing together specialists from the scientific areas of Computer Engineering, Finance and Operational Research. The focus of this workshop is on current technological advances and challenges about the development of big data-driven algorithms and methods and tools. Furthermore, it would be very interesting to investigate if the use of a vast amount of data leads to more accurate models or not.
Following the success of the 1st MT4BD workshop held last year in Rhodes, Greece, MT4BD 2015 aims to further promote the formation of a community around the topic and gather an increased number of researchers and practitioners.
TOPICS ===================================================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following new techniques and applications relevant to the big data topic:
- Big Data Analytics: Business intelligence and analytics Interactive Visualisation Technologies and Visual Analytics Personalization Semantics Knowledge representation and reasoning Data mining Human Collaboration (crowdsourcing)
- Tools and Applications: E-commerce E-learning Smart Health and Wellbeing Smart Cities Ontologies for Big Data Sensors Networks Industrial Automation Systems Biology and Bioinformatics Geoinformatics Financial Forecasting and Trading Security
- Big Data Architectures and Frameworks: Cloud computing Grid computing Linked Data Data storage and processing frameworks Security and privacy
Keynote Speech ===================================================== A special key-note speech entitled “How to Use Large Computers to Process Really Big Sequences and Graphs” by Prof. Panos Kalnis (KAUST) will be held in the framework of MT4BD-2015.
SUBMISSION ===================================================== Authors are invited to submit original, English-language research contributions or experience reports. Papers should be no longer than 10 pages formatted according to the well-known LNCS Springer style (http://www.springer.com/lncs) and in PDF format. All papers should be submitted through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiai2015 selecting track "2nd Workshop on New Methods and Tools for Big Data" .
PUBLICATION ===================================================== Submitted papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published in the Proceedings of the main event (by Springer).
