Computational Aspects of Big Data Analysis (CABDA 2015)

Introduction

The Big Data paradigm is one of the main science and technology challenges of today. Big data includes various data sets that are too large or too complex for efficient processing and analysis using traditional as well as unconventional algorithms and tools. The challenge is to derive value from signals buried in an avalanche of noise arising from challenging data volume, flow and validity. The cybernetics challenges are as varied as they are important. Whether searching for influential nodes in huge networks, segmenting graphs into meaningful communities, modelling uncertainties in health trends for individual patients, controlling of complex systems, linking data bases with different levels of granularity in space and time, unbiased sampling, connecting with infrastructure involving sensors, privacy protection and high performance computing, answers to these questions are the key to competitiveness and leadership in this field. This event will highlight current challenges in cybernetics methodology alongside new problems arising from Big Data applications.

This session, organized by IEEE SMC TC on Big Data Computing, aims at disseminating the latest results in the overlapping fields of big data processing, analysis, and mining. It will bring together big data researchers and practitioners to discuss theoretical and practical aspects of latest advances, algorithms, and applications in this field.
