Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the 9th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2014). ARES Conference 08th - 12th September 2014 University of Fribourg, Switzerland www.ares-conference.eu ARES will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability. ARES will highlight the various aspects of security - with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security. ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of security as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security in the different fields of applications. ARES will emphasize the interplay between foundations and practical issues of security in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc. ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Secure and Dependable Computing and the definition of a future road map. Selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference will be published, after further revision, in special issues of international journals. The acceptance rate of the ARES 2013 conference was 24%. The ARES conferences have been published by IEEE CPS. ***ARES Important Dates*** Submission Deadline: March 7th, 2014 Author Notification: May 19th, 2014 Author Registration: June 10th, 2014 Proceedings Version: June 20th, 2014 Conference: September 8th - 12th, 2014 - Fribourg, Switzerland ***Conference Officers*** General Chair Prof. Dr. Stephanie Teufel, Dean of the faculty of economics & social sciences, University of Fribourg, Switzerland Program Committee Co-Chairs Dr. Edgar Weippl, Vienna University of Technology and SBA Research, Austria Dr.-Ing.

Call for papers: The 3rd *IEEE International Conference *on Big Data Science and Engineering(BDSE2014), 24-26 September 2014, *Tsinghua University*, Beijing, China. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdse2014/ Important dates: Submission Deadline: 11:59PM (UTC/GMT+8 hours) May 5, 2014 Authors Notification: June 30, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: July 20, 2014 Submissions: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdse2014/submission.htm Publications All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society (EI indexed). Selected papers will be recommended to special issues of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Journal of Network and Computer Applications; Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing. ------------ 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). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). 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. Big data is more than simply a matter of size; it is an opportunity to find insights in new and emerging types of data and content, to make business more agile, and to answer questions that were previously considered beyond our reach. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technologies, distributed systems research keeps going with new innovative outcomes from both industry and academia. For example, wide deployment of MapReduce is a distributed programming paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed computing over large datasets on cloud. BDSE (Big Data Science and Engineering) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data and broadly related areas. BDSE 2014 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences, previously held as BDSE2013 (Sydney Australia), BigDataMR-12 (Xiangtan, China November 2012), AHPCN-12 (Bradford, UK, June 2012), AHPCN-11 (Banff, Canada, September 2011), AHPCN-10 (Melbourne, Australia, September 2010), AHPCN-09 (Seoul, Korea, June 2009), AHPCN-08 (Dalian, China, September 2008). Scope and Topics The objective of the conference is to invite authors to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate and explore current advances in all aspects of big data and distributed computing. The symposium 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 Infrastructure and Cloud Computing · 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 · 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, resource scheduling and SLA · MapReduce on heterogeneous distributed environments · Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization · Simulation and debugging of MapReduce and Big Data systems and tools · Volume, Velocity, Variety, Value and Veracity of Big Data · Multiple source data processing and integration with MapReduce · Storage and computation management of Big Data · Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data processing · Algorithms and theory for distributed systems · Data management and distributed data systems · Security, privacy, fault tolerance and reliability in distributed systems · Mobile systems and development for handheld devices such as mobile phones · Big data applications Submission Guidelines Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the BDSE2014 submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdse2014/submission.htm.
