MT4BD 2016 Call For Papers ===================================================== 3nd Workshop on New Methods and Tools for Big Data (MT4BD-2016) http://mt4bd.ceid.upatras.gr/ 16-18 September 2016, Thessaloniki - Greece SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE: April 20th, 2016 =====================================================
We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to the 3nd Workshop on "New Methods and Tools for Big Data (MT4BD-20165)" - held as a part of the 12th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI 2016) https://conferences.cwa.gr/aiai2016/.
The provision of 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 by 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 assets to improve a variety of applications. It is very interesting to explore how researchers utilize data-driven strategies and discover what disciplines will change because of the advent of data. With the vast amount of data now available, modern businesses are facing 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, Bioinformatics-Personalized Medicine, 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 previous two MT4BD (MT4BD2014 and MT4BD2015) 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:
