Submission site and requirements: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bigdatamr2012.
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file. Papers should be limited up to 8
pages in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be
downloaded from the workshop website. All papers will be peer
reviewed by two or three pc members. Submitting a paper to the
workshop means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author
should register to CGC2012 and attend the conference to present the
paper.
Publications:
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE
Computer Society (EI indexed). Selected papers will be invited to
special issues of CGC2012 in Concurrency and Computation: Practice
and Experience, Future Generation Computer Systems and International
Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.
Introduction:
Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is
beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture,
manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such
datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured
such as social media, sensors, scientific applications,
surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and
documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business
transactions and web logs;and are of large size (Volume) with fast
data in/out (Velocity). Various technologies are being discussed to
support the handling of big data such as massively parallel
processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing
platforms, and MapReduce. MapReduce is a distributed programming
paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed
computing over large datasets on cloud. This workshop aims at
providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from
different background areas such as cloud computing, distributed
computing and database area to exchange the latest experience,
research ideas and synergic research and development on fundamental
issues and applications about big data and MapReduce in cloud
environments. The workshop solicits high quality research results in
all related areas.
Topics:
The objective of the workshop is to invite authors to submit
original manuscripts that demonstrate and explore current advances
in all aspects of big data and MapReduce. The workshop solicits
novel papers on a broad range of topics, including but not limited
to:
· Big Data theory, applications and challenges
· Recent development in Big Data and MapReduce
· Big Data mining and analytics
· Big Data visualization
· Large data stream processing on cloud
· Large incremental datasets on cloud
· Distributed and federated datasets
· NoSQL data stores and DB scalability
· Big Data sharing and privacy preserving on cloud
· Security, trust and risk in Big Data
· Big Data placement, scheduling, and optimization
· Extension of the MapReduce programming model
· Distributed file systems for Big Data
· MapReduce for Big Data processing
· MapReduce on hybrid cloud
· MapReduce on heterogeneous distributed environments
· Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization
· Simulation and debugging of MapReduce and Big Data systems
and tools
· Security, privacy, reliability, trust and privacy in
MapReduce
· Volume, Velocity and Variety of Big Data on Cloud
· Multiple source data processing and integration with
MapReduce
· Resource scheduling and SLA for MapReduce
· Big Data processing tools based on MapReduce
· Storage and computation management of Big Data
· Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data
processing on Cloud
