1st IEEE International Conference on Big Data 2013

Big Data is one of the most talked about topics of today across industry, government and research. It is becoming the center of Investments, Innovations and Improvization‎s (3I’s), and no exaggeration to say that Big Data is Transforming the World. Considering it’s potential the IEEE Computer Society is conducting the IEEE International Conference on Big Data 2013, a premier forum to disseminate and exchange the latest and greatest in Big Data. The main theme of the conference will be the 5V’s: Volume, Velocity, Variety, Value and Veracity aspects. The conference will take place in Santa Clara, CA from October 6th to 9th. I have the great privilege to co-chair the Industry and Government Program with my distinguished colleagues: Rayid Ghani (Obama Campaign), Wei Han (Noah’s Ark Lab) and Ronny Lempel (Yahoo! Labs) along with Xiaohua Tony Hu (Drexel University) who is chairing the Steering Committee. The 4-day program includes about 50 presentations selected from over 300 paper submissions from more than 1000 authors from 40 countries, four keynotes (Amr Awadallah, Mike Franklin, Hector Garcia-Molina and Roger Schell), 12 workshops, and two tutorials. I have the great pleasure to deliver the opening and welcoming speech on behalf of the industry and government committee. I am also chairing Amr Awadallah’s keynote session on Key Usage Patterns for Apache Hadoop in the Enterprise and co-presenting a paper titled A Look at Challenges and Opportunities of Big Data Analytics in Healthcare at the workshop on Big Data in Bioinformatics and Healthcare Informatics. This workshop will be very interesting with sessions like Big Data Solutions for Predicting Risk‐of‐Readmission for Congestive Heart Failure Patients, Colon cancer survival prediction using ensemble data mining on SEER Data etc.

Cisco is a proud sponsor of the conference. Additional Information:
