*** ABOUT ***
The Italian Conference on Big Data and Data Science (ITADATA2024), at 
its third edition, is the annual event supported by the CINI Data 
Science National Laboratory that aims to put together Italian 
researchers and professionals from academia, industry, government, and 
public administration working in the field of big data and data science, 
as well as related fields (e.g., security and privacy, HPC, Cloud). This 
year the conference is supported also by SoBigData RI (www.sobigdata.eu) 
which is a multi-disciplinary European research infrastructure aimed at 
using social mining and big data to understand the complexity of 
society. The conference will be structured into a main research track on 
big data and data science and complemented with tutorials/demos on 
specific solutions and prototypes developed by industries, research 
centers and universities, and thematic workshops on specific verticals 
of big data and data science. The conference will also feature selected 
distinguished keynote speeches and some panels.

ITADATA2024 aims to discuss and shape the future of Big Data and Data 
Science in Italy and abroad, considering the multidisciplinary, complex, 
heterogeneous, and data-centric environment in which modern distributed 
systems are operating. The ability to timely manage and analyze large 
amounts of data, and to guarantee low-latency access to the data 
themselves increasingly become critical requirements and are at the 
heart of modern business processes. In this context, data science, as 
the foundation of today's data-driven society, plays the role of 
developing and defining all the technologies needed to support 
construction of value on data in multidisciplinary areas at increasing 
complexity. ITADATA2024 covers theoretical and practical research and 
application pertaining to data, from data governance to data processing 
and analysis. It also covers research and application in related domains 
where data and data science technologies are key, such as cloud, edge 
and IoT, intelligent and high-performance computing, blockchain, 
security and privacy, assurance and certification. It finally considers 
and analyzes the evolution of big data and data science at EU and 
national level, trying to map current activities in the context of data 
spaces and relevant organizations/associations such as, for instance, 
the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), as well as policy development, 
laws, and regulations.
