2014 Data Teaching Workshop – 1st IEEE STC CC and RDA Workshop on Curricula and Teaching Methods in Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data Science

2014 Data Teaching Workshop – 1st IEEE STC CC and RDA Workshop on Curricula and Teaching Methods in Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data Science
as part of CloudCom 2014 (http://2014.cloudcom.org/), Singapore, 15-18 December, 2014.

Scope
The emergence of Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data (Intensive) Science as specialized fields in computing is motivating development of new books and courses to provide education in the techniques and technologies needed to extract knowledge from large datasets in virtualized environment. In current literature there is a lack of centralized learning resource for beginners that would integrate administrative, programing, and algorithm design aspects of other related domains. We believe it is important to allow students, researchers, and professionals to understand cross-domain aspects of these challenges before they embark on further exploration of these fields.

The IEEE CS Special Technical Community on Cloud Computing and the Research Data Alliance hope this workshop will serve as a meeting point for all working on or interested in this area.

We plan to accept a small number of high quality contributions for extended presentations including tutorial elements. At the end of the workshop a forum discussion is planned to debate on future directions of curricula and teaching methods in Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data Science

Topics
include but are not limited to the following areas applied to one of the fields (Cloud Computing, Big Data, Data Science) or closely related to them:
- novel or updated curricula;
- novel or existing teaching methods;
- review and presentation of novel teaching materials;
- review of methodologies;
- characterization of domain knowledge (Body of Knowledge);
- adoption as a part of institutional strategies;
- review and analysis of existing practices in the design, implementation, and evaluation;
- implementation reports and lessons learnt;
- future trends and issues.

Paper submission: Aug 31st, 2014
Notification of acceptance: September 5th, 2014
Camera-ready version: September 16th, 2014 (please refer to main CloudCom 2014 website)
