Introduction to Workshop

Advances in big data technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have created so many success stories in a wide range of areas, especially in industry. These success stories have been motivating scientists, who study physics, chemistry, materials, medicine and many more, to explore a new pathway of utilizing big data tools for their scientific activities.

However, there are barriers to overcome. Most existing big data tools, systems, and methodologies have been developed without considering scientific purposes or scientists’ specific requirements. They are not originally developed for scientists who have no or little knowledge of programming or computer science. On the other hand, for computer scientists, understanding the domain problem is often very challenging due to the lack of enough background knowledge.

We expect that big data technologies can play a great role in contributing to scientific innovation in many ways. There are already a lot of ongoing scientific projects around the world that aim to discover novel hypotheses, analyze big multidimensional data which couldn’t be handled by manually, and reduce the time required by complex calculations via machine. This workshop intends to bring domain scientists and computer scientists together while exploring and extending opportunities in the development of big data tools, systems, and methodologies for scientific discovery, to share success stories and lessons learned, and discuss challenges, which if overcome would enable successful collaboration across different domains, especially domain scientists and computer/data scientists.

In this workshop, we discuss the following questions:
- What makes big data tools for scientists different from the existing tools?
- What specific needs and challenges do domain scientists face when they try to adopt big data tools?
- How can computer scientists and domain scientists communicate to define a feasible problem together?
- What are the barriers of using big data for scientific discovery and how do these barriers differ in different science domains?
