White Paper Submission Deadline - June 1, 2014
Full Proposal Deadline - September 1, 2014

With the synergistic confluence of multicore and multiprocessor computers, pervasive sensing and wireless sensor networks, cloud and mobile computing, along with groundbreaking advances in storage devices, we are generating unprecedented levels of data. It is estimated that 90 percent of the world's data has been generated in the past two years. Data too big and complex to capture, store, process, analyze, and interpret — even using state-of-the-art tools and methods — is referred to as big data. The guest editors solicit papers covering all areas of big data management and applications, including big data infrastructure, frameworks, and tools; distributed big data interoperability and standards; big data management practices and analytics; big data privacy and security; and big data applications. Contributions that provide an interdisciplinary view of big data, and work that involves real deployments and novel applications are of particular interest.
