11 Feb '14

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 discipline of Software Engineering has already established itself as a prime contributor towards sustenance and accelerated growth of infrastructural development process. It is further recognized that traditional software engineering approaches require extensions in the context of revolving computing paradigms like service oriented computing, cloud computing, grid computing etc. Service-oriented computing is considered today a key technology for the development of robust and high quality intelligent distributed applications. Moreover, service-oriented applications play an important role in enterprise computing including mobile enterprise systems and more recently in the field of cloud computing. While there is an agreement about the main principles for designing and developing such applications, methodologies and tools that support the development of service-oriented applications are still a subject of intensive research. The goal of this workshop is to address these gaps by strengthening the cross-fertilization of advances from software engineering methodologies and service oriented computing for effectively managing the ever-increasing complexity of applications development. TOPICS ======================================= Submissions are expected from, but not limited to the following topics: - Architectural styles, Reference models and standards for Service Oriented systems - Case Studies and best practices of Service Oriented development - Cloud Services and service applications in the cloud - Cost modeling of Service Oriented System - Design methodologies for Service Oriented system development - Distributed and collaborative software service development - Engineering Service Oriented applications in social network contexts - Engineering Service Oriented database applications - Management and governance of service engineering projects - Mobile Service Engineering and Applications - Model-driven SOA and service systems development - Models, languages and methods for service-oriented analysis and design - Quality Evaluation for Service Oriented Systems development - Requirements Engineering for Service Oriented System - Service Oriented business process modeling - Service Oriented System development lifecycle methodologies and processes - Security in Service Oriented System - Service Information Technology and Decision Making - Tool support for software service engineering - Validation, verification and testing of Service Oriented Applications - Web-services PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ======================================= Papers should be submitted by April 11, 2014.
