Call For Papers | |||||||||||
The ability to collect, integrate, and analyze data from large number of diverse data sources has increased the amount of data collected and processed by individual organizations on the order of several tens to hundreds of TB. This data can be efficiently utilized for better decision making, improved business intelligence, as well as for enabling new knowledge and services.
Collaborative generation and utilization of large quantities of data, either through crowdsourcing or through efforts of different organizations and groups creates notable research opportunities. The potential benefits of Collaborative Big Data, as well as new and unexpected challenges are still emerging. Managing, processing, and making sense of this data pose new challenges in storage, networking, database management, data mining, knowledge discovery, information security and privacy. C-Big 2012 brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their experiences on creating, managing, and handling Collaborative Big Data and its benefits. The authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit extended versions of the papers to a special issue in Elsevier's Information Systems journal. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): •Challenges for collaboration in Big Data utilization •Network architectures and optimization for Big Data applications •Collaborative Big Data storage and management in the cloud •Collaborative Big Data reliability assessment •Crowdsourcing of the Big Data utilization task •Large-scale collective intelligence for data integration and data fusion •Human-centered information fusion and sense-making •Large-scale process monitoring for handling high data rates •Big Data for network management •Big Data and mobile networks including challenges in spectrum management and sensing •Scalable collaborative graph data processing •Big Data and social networking including location based social networks •Security and privacy in Collaborative Big Data •Applications of Collaborative Big Data Important Dates Paper Submission deadline: August 1, 2012 Notification to authors: September 1, 2012 Camera-ready submission deadline: September 10, 2012 Paper Submission Submitted manuscripts should closely reflect the final papers as they will appear in the Proceedings, and should not exceed 8 pages in two-column IEEE proceeding format. We urge the authors to prepare their papers according to the Latex or Microsoft Word templates found at IEEE Author Digital Tool Box, under the "Template for Transactions" section. All papers are refereed through a single blind process. All papers must be submitted online. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbig2012 All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed. All accepted papers will be made available in IEEE Xplore and external indexing services (DBLP database, ZB1Math/CompuServe, IO-Port, EI, Scopus, INSPEC, ISI proceeding - pending approval).
