[AISWorld] HICSS 2013 Call for Papers:BigData: Scalable Representations and Analytcis for Data Science

[Alberto Espinosa]

Hawaii International Conference on System Science (HICSS), 
Call for Papers: BigData:  Scalable Representations and Analytcis for Data 
Science minitrack, 
January 7 - 10, 2013, Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii

Big Data focuses on databases and files with volumes in the tera- (1012) 
to exabytes (1015) currently, but trending towards zettabytes (1018). Big 
data databases and files have scaled beyond the capacities and 
capabilities of commercial database management systems. Structured 
representations become a bottleneck to efficient data storage and 
retrieval. Gartner has noted three major challenges (the three Vs): 
increasing volume of data, increasing velocity (e.g., in/out and change of 
data), and increasing variety of data types and structures. Add to these 
the increasing number of disciplines and problem domains where big data is 
having an impact and one sees an increase in the number of problems and 
associated analytics to process the data. 

We are soliciting paper submissions that: advance our knowledge of Big 
Data storage and structure; help us learn about effective processes and 
approaches to effectively manage Big Data and the analytics; and begin to 
identify ways to measure the organizational benefits derived from using 
and analyzing Big Data. Papers will be solicited in several areas, 
including, but not limited to the following: 

•       Innovative structures for big data representation (including RDF, 
RDFS, audio, image, video, etc.)
•       Graph analytics – both syntactic and semantic
•       Advanced analytics, including applications of the MapReduce/MPI 
paradigms for analytics
•       Scalable semantic reasoning across big data stores
•       Challenges in using and analyzing big data
•       Case Studies of big data implementations
•       Recognizing Black Swan events from big data
•       Innovative visualization algorithms and techniques for big data

Please direct questions to the primary contact given below.

Important 2012 Deadlines for Authors

June 15         Submit full manuscripts for review as instructed. The 
review is double-blind; therefore, this initial submission must be without 
author names.

Aug 15          Review System emails Acceptance Notices to authors. It is 
very important that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the 
conference. Therefore, all travel guarantees – including visa or your 
organization’s fiscal funding procedures – should begin immediately. Make 
sure your server accepts the review system address 
https://precisionconference.com/~hicss.

Sept 15         SUBMIT FINAL PAPER.  Add author names to your paper, and 
submit your Final Paper for Publication to the site provided in your 
Acceptance Notice.  (This URL is not public knowledge.) 

Oct 1           Early Registration fee deadline. At least one author of 
each paper should register by this date in order secure publication in the 
Proceedings.  Fees will increase on Oct 2 and Dec 2.

Oct 15                  Papers without at least one paid-in-full 
registered author may be deleted from the Proceedings and not scheduled 
for presentation; authors will be so notified by the Conference Office.
