Integrative Analysis and Computation of Life Data for Smart Ecosystems
(INCLuDE 2016)
******************************************************************

Submission deadline: May, 22, 2016

The progress in information technologies (IT), in circuit miniaturization as
well as the immense efforts in the investigation of biomedical and
ecological systems builds a strong basis to realize a healthy as well as
economically efficient environment. However, the data flow, coming from
sensors, business processes, enquiries, social networks and other manifold
sources is extremely complex and dynamic. Therefore, sufficient analysis
methods and corresponding IT solutions are crucial for the extraction and
handling of the information embedded in the data. The data generating
systems need to be investigated separately. However, these systems function
or exist in continuous interaction among one another. The content as well as
the influence of these relations is only partly investigated yet, and poses
a significant challenge on innovative concepts, methodologies, models and
IT-architectures. New paradigms of thought are needed for empowering
science, society and business to understand, design and optimize
high-dimensional, spatio-temporally interacting systems and processes. This
workshop provides the opportunity for interdisciplinary discussions of
problems and potential solutions as well as for cooperation on the
fascinating new world of complex life data. Competences from the fields of
Information Systems, Data Science, Environmental Science, Computer Science,
Mathematics, Medicine, Psychology, Philosophy and Business are required to
elaborate new promising ideas contributing to the investigation of life data
determined ecosystems.
