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). 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. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technolog!
ies, 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, Distributed Systems and broadly related areas.
BDSE 2013 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences, previously held as 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 Infrastructure and Cloud Computing
- 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
- 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
- Distributed ad hoc, ubiquitous and pervasive systems
- Mobile systems and development for handheld devices such as mobile phones
- Distributed system architectures and software such as runtime systems, multicore programming languages, performance modelling and evaluation, programming environments and tools, and etc.
- Distributed computing applications such as management of big data, scientific applications, social media applications, web applications and mobile computing
Submission Guidelines
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the BDSE2013 submission site:
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdds2013/submission.htm. Papers should be limited up to 8 pages in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All papers will be peer reviewed by two or three pc members. Submitting a paper to the symposium means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author should register to BDSE2013 and attend the conference to present the paper.
