Call for Papers (Deadline Over)

Streaming data, social media data, content, electronic medical records, astronomy surveys, genomic and proteomic studies result into repositories of terabytes/petabytes/exabytes scale and pose significant challenges in analysis, which can be transformed to opportunities in Data Science. Recent meetings (KDCloud10, KDCloud11, PDAC10) have generated interest in adopting cloud and distributed computing resources for large scale data management, data mining and knowledge discovery tasks. The First International Conference on Big Data Analytics (BDA 2012) is set in this backdrop. The goal of the conference is to generate interest among researchers by exposing them to ground breaking opportunities that arise during analysis and processing of massive volumes of distributed data stored across clusters of networked computers. We invite researchers, developers, and users to participate in this event to share and discuss the emerging challenges in developing data management and data mining solutions, and frameworks around cloud and distributed computing platforms.

Original and high-quality papers addressing these and closely related issues are invited. We strongly encourage papers that report experimental work and results.

Major topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to send PDF or Postscript files (using standard compression and encoding, with details). For preparing the manuscript, please see instructions for authors by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Each paper should contain a cover page with a short abstract of approximately 200 words. The submissions must be less than 16 pages The submissions will be accepted through EasyChair.
Proceedings: The conference plans to publish its proceedings in the Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Selected manuscripts will be considered for publications in a special issue of the journal IJCSE published by InderScience.
