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

Enormous amounts of data are already present and still rapidly growing 
due to 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. We 
view that several key themes with the Big Data trends 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’18 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-driven 
paradigm. Papers focusing on novel applications and using conceptual 
modeling approaches for any aspects of Big Data such as Hadoop and its 
ecosystems, Big Data Analytics, social networking, security and privacy, 
hybrid cloud, Big Data warehousing, data science topics, 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 2018 proceedings will be part of the ER2018 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 2018 
will be electronically only.
