Scope:


Nowadays, the abundance of data is changing from the way companies make
business to the way governments take many decisions, from the way
science is made in several knowledge areas to the way many individuals
take daily decisions such as where to go or how to buy. During the last
decade, tools and techniques emerged to support massive offline analysis
of web scale datasets on many thousands of computers working as a single
facility. However, the total amount of digital data being produced,
stored, and transmitted around the world is growing exponentially. The
wide diversity of data sources and formats (data variety) cannot be
handled by traditional systems and techniques, raising new data
management challenges. In many areas, applications need to collect data
and produce answers with high frequency or low latency, e.g. to raise
some alarm or take a decision within a few milliseconds. Furthermore, in
scalable environments with hundreds or thousands of components,
surviving to frequent failures is mandatory. Analytic processing and
knowledge discovery in such scenarios demand scalable and efficient
algorithms, able to handle the complexity and variety of data even under
specific constraints (e.g., energy consumption, available memory,
computational power, and networking capacity). Furthermore, sensor
networks and the Internet-of-Things open new perspectives in terms of
the amount and complexity of data to be managed.


Topics of interests include, but are not limited to novel techniques,
algorithms, and tools for collecting, storage, processing, mining and
analysis of low latency big data in reliable and scalable computing
environments:

  *

    Scalability and elasticity in big data environments

  *

    Fault-tolerance in big data environments

  *

    Big data tools, services, and infrastructures on clouds

  *

    HPC clouds for big data

  *

    Performance analysis of big data environments and applications

  *

    Big data benchmarks

  *

    Challenges in big data storage and processing

  *

    Scheduling and resource management in big data environments

  *

    Large data stream processing systems and infrastructures

  *

    Data-intensive computing on hybrid infrastructures (e.g., clusters,
    clouds, grids, P2P)

  *

    Implementation and optimizations for heterogeneous architectures

  *

    Implementation and optimizations for specialized architectures

  *

    Performance evaluation and optimization
