Call for Papers: IEEE Big Data 2014 Workshop on Enterprise Big Data Semantics and Analytics Modeling (EBDSAM 2014)

Workshop on Enterprise Big Data Semantics and Analytics Modeling (EBDSAM
2014),
Co-located with the IEEE BigData 2014 conference in Oct 27-30, Washington
DC, USA.

========== CALL FOR PAPERS ==============

Objectives

While big data has been a topic of research and industry activity, much of
it has been focused on unstructured data such as web logs, web crawl data,
and social media data. One area which has received less attention but
offers significant opportunities is that of “enterprise big data†. As
enterprises drive towards leveraging analytics to create new value, they
are faced with one of the most daunting challenges post the enterprise data
warehousing era, “How can we link data from 100’s of business
processes, tens of businesses, and combine relevant enterprise data with
external data to enable novel analytical insights?† Consequently,
Enterprise Big Data Semantics, Analytics and Modeling (EBDSAM) is an
emerging area of research. It involves developing a new paradigm and
technologies for handling of enterprise data which also face volume,
variety, velocity, and veracity to create value through contextual process
and analytics to create novel insights and enable improve!
 d decisions.
This workshop will bring together academic researchers, technology company
researchers, and industry practitioners from multiple industries, including
Retail, Banking, Travel and Transportation, Government, etc. The goal of
the workshop will be to share key challenges in EBDSAM, novel approaches to
solutions, key business challenges that can be addressed by EBDSAM.
Participants are encouraged to start with specific business scenarios and
demonstrate research prototypes they have created in the EBDSAM area.

Topics of Interest

Workshop papers can fall into any of the following categories involving
exploiting of enterprise bid data and/or enterprise applications:
Solution / applications and industry scenarios for EBDSAM
Semantic Domain Models and Ontologies
Dynamic and configurable data linking and data extractors mechanisms
Analytics driven auto generated data models / linkers
