MT4BD 2014 Call For Papers

Workshop on New Methods and Tools for Big Data (MT4BD-2014)

http://mt4bd2014.ceid.upatras.gr

Island of Rhodes, Greece, September 19-21, 2014

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to

MT4BD 2014 – held as a part of the 10th International Conference on Artificial

Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI 2014).

The provision of large amount of data from various sources (Internet, Social Media,

Application Logs, Data Warehouses, Sensors, Mobiles, Open Data, etc.) is now emerging

the collection and processing of “Big Data”. While Big Data notion is adopted from both

academic and enterprise communities, there is currently a wide gap between its potential

and its realization. Variety, velocity, scale, complexity, interpretation and security

problems with Big Data raise challenges at all phases of the pipeline that can extract

information and knowledge from it. Thus, there is a natural interest in using these data

asset to improve a variety of applications. It is very interesting to explore how the

researchers utilize data-driven strategies and discover what disciplines will charge because

of the advent of data. With the vast amount of data now available modern business are facing

with the challenges of storage, management, analysis, privacy, visualization, security and

data integration.

The aim of this workshop is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for bringing together

specialists from the scientific areas of Computer Engineering, Finance and Operational Research.

The focus of this workshop is on current technological advances and challenges about the development

of big data-driven algorithms and methods and tools. Furthermore, it would be very interesting

to investigate if the use of a vast amount of data leads to more accurate models or not.
