Introduction
----------------

Due to the enormous amount of data present and growing in the Web and other data sources such as sensors and social networks, there has been an increasing interest in incorporating this huge enormous of external and unstructured data, normally referred as "Big Data", into traditional applications. This necessity has made that traditional database systems and processing need to evolve and accommodate them to this new situation. We view that several key themes with the Big Data trend include (i) using a cloud for large-scale external and internal data; (ii) providing an easy-to-use but powerful services to access/manage/analyze the big data in the cloud; (iii) defining a problem-solving space and developing an architecture for a big data environment to conceptualize goals, tasks, and problem-solving methods to apply to domains; and (iv) managing big data and analyzing them to discover business values.

Therefore, this new era of cloud environment and Big Data requires conceptualization and methods to effectively manage big data and accomplish intended business goals. Thus, the objective of MoBiD'14 is to be an international forum for exchanging ideas on the latest and best proposals for modeling and managing big data in this new data-drive paradigm. Papers focusing on novel applications and using conceptual modeling approaches for any aspects of Big Data such as MapReduce, Hadoop and its ecosystems, Big Data Analytics, social networking, security and privacy, data science approaches, etc. are highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in the different facets related to the use of the conceptual modeling approaches for the development of next generation applications based on Big Data.

Submission Guidelines
--------------------------------

Formatting instructions
MoBiD 2014 proceedings will be part of the ER2014 Workshop volume published by Springer in the LNCS series. The authors must submit manuscripts using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
See the page http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages.

The organizers will oversee a peer-review process for the submitted papers. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Submission to MoBiD 2014 will be electronically only.

Submission instructions
All workshop abstracts and papers should be uploaded by using the EasyChair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mobid2014

Special issue in a journal listed in JCR (Impact Factor = 1,864)
Best selected papers of MoBiD 2013 will be invited to submit an extended version in a special issue of the Future Generation Computer Systems journal
