AIM:


BigDat 2017 will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of big data, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience.


Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications (to biological and health sciences, to business, finance and transportation, to online social networks, etc.). Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 4 keynote lectures, 24 six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes.


ADDRESSED TO:


In principle, graduate students, PhD students and postdocs from around the world will be the most typical profiles. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for participation in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be differences in level, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. BigDat 2017 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.


REGIME:


In addition to keynotes, 2-3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.


VENUE:


BigDat 2017 will take place in Bari, a lively university city on the Adriatic Sea in Southern Italy. The venue will be:


Department of Computer Science

University of Bari "Aldo Moro"

via Orabona, 4

70125 Bari, Italy
