Call for papers: The 2016 IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Systems (DSS 2016), 12-14 Dec. 2016, Sydney, Australia. Website: www.swinflow.org/confs/2016/dss/ Key dates: Submission Deadline: July 25, 2016 Notification: September 25, 2016 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2016 Submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2016/dss/submission.htm Publication: Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press. Special issues: Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues in Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Future Generation Computer Systems, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing =========== Introduction In parallel with Petrol as a driving resource in this world, Data is becoming an increasingly decisive resource in modern societies, economies, and governmental organizations. Gradually and steadily, it is being world-wide recognised that data and talents are playing key roles in modern businesses. As an interdisciplinary area, Data Science draws scientific inquiry from a broad range of subject areas such as statistics, mathematics, computer science, machine learning, optimization, signal processing, information retrieval, databases, cloud computing, computer vision, natural language processing and etc. Data Science is on the essence of deriving valuable insights from data. It is emerging to meet the challenges of processing very large datasets, i.e. Big Data, with the explosion of new data continuously generated from various channels such as smart devices, web, mobile and social media. Data systems are posing many challenges in exploiting parallelism of current and upcoming computer architectures. Data volumes of applications in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous computing power. The importance of data intensive systems has been raising and will continue to be the foremost fields of research. This raise brings up many research issues, in forms of capturing and accessing data effectively and fast, processing it while still achieving high performance and high throughput, and storing it efficiently for future use. Innovative programming models, high performance scalable computing platforms, efficient storage systems and expression of data requirements are at immediate need. DSS (Data Science and Systems) was created to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the latest advances in Data Science and Data Systems as well as their synergy.

International Cross Domain Conference and Workshop (CD-ARES 2016) - CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************************************** International Cross Domain Conference and Workshop (CD-ARES 2016) August 31 – September 2, 2016, Salzburg, Austria http://cd-ares-conference.eu/ ****************************************************************************************** *********** CD-ARES 2016 ************ Today’s highly interconnected and interdependent information systems are used in many different ways in order to perform and improve business operations. Thus, a multidisciplinary view on information systems is of great importance to meet future research challenges. This IFIP supported conference therefore is focused on multidisciplinary aspects across the breadth of Business and Enterprise Information Systems. The aim of this conference is to foster a forum for researchers and practitioners for discussing and resenting recent research ideas and results across the multiple research domains. The conference will be held in conjunction with the ARES conference. Therefore authors of papers with security and dependability focus are also encouraged to contribute to this workshop. As a multidisciplinary platform this conference will also provide the possibility of discussing addional interactions between elements that extend beyond technology such as organisational issues to include environmental factors (e.g. location based aspects, national and international payment mechanisms, …) CD-ARES will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2016) and is supported by IFIP TC 8 (WG 8.4, WG 8.9). ************ CONFERENCE OFFICERS ************ General Chairpersons Edgar Weippl, SBA Research, Austria IFIP WG 8.4 Chair A Min Tjoa, TU Vienna, Austria, IFIP WG 8.9.
