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.
