Dear colleagues, We invite you to submit papers for Big Data Innovators Gathering, co-located with WWW 2014, in April 2014 in Seoul, Korea.
Many of today's most successful enterprises science - in business and in science - are built on the collection and analysis of data. The sheer volume and richness of these data sets has stimulated a massive wave of innovation. In addition, this revolution has also sparked important debate on data privacy policies, ethics and governance. The BigData Innovators Gathering (BIG) will bring together academic and industry leaders in the big data space to share the state of the art and its successful application in business. The two-day gathering will consist of keynotes from visionaries in the field, panels on hot topics, contributed talks on successes and best practices, and will reveal the winners of a data science competition. Call for Panel, Presentation and Demonstration Proposals We invite proposals for contributed talks, demonstrations and panels that highlight novel developments in the foundations, infrastructure, applications and implications of big data. Proposals should be limited to two pages and will be judged on the basis of thought leadership, technical novelty and application potential; pure corporate or product marketing is discouraged. Speculative work or significant works in progress are acceptable, but should be grounded in an important application and should specifically address the challenges associated with the large data sets of today. Accepted presentations are to be delivered in person by one of the authors of the proposal, at the WWW 2014 conference in Seoul, April 7-8, 2014. Big Data Challenge: Call for Proposals & Participation BIG 2014 will also host a Big Data competition. We are soliciting data challenge proposals consisting of a problem definition along with a large data set. Upon selecting a challenge, we will invite Big Data Scientists from largecorporations to small startups to demonstrate innovative Big Data skills by competing to provide the best solution to the selected problem. Awards will be presented to the best Big Data innovators that meet the challenge during theBIG 2014 gathering.
