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 these huge amounts of external and
unstructured data, normally referred to 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) managing
big data projects to discover business values; (ii) developing an
architecture for a big data environment to conceptualize goals, tasks, and
problem-solving methods to apply to domains;  (iii) exploring
problem-solving methods for big data; (iv) using a cloud for managing
large-scale external and internal data; and (v) providing an easy-to-use
but powerful services to access/manage/analyze the big data in the cloud.

Therefore, this new era of Big Data and cloud environment requires
conceptualization and methods to effectively manage big data and accomplish
intended business goals. Thus, the objective of MoBiD’16 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 2016 proceedings will be part of the ER2016 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 2016 will be
electronically only.
