AIMS

-------

The focus of BDSDST 2015 will be on potential of Big Data, Smart Data and
semantic technologies in different application areas.

 

Growing technical possibilities to gather and aggregate multi-modal data
from sensors, mobile devices, social media, log files, cameras, microphones
etc. provide useful information about the state and the environment of the
data sources, but also result in large and complex data sets, which today
are known as Big Data. When processed properly by right predictive and
prescriptive analytic approaches, Big Data might carry huge amounts of
useful information, which was not accessible before and allow for
better-founded, more robust predictions and better decision-making. Combined
with semantic technologies, which enable machines and people likewise to
understand and share data and facilitate the interrelation and integration
of data, content and processes in meaningful ways, the maximum potential of
the gathered data can be exploited.

 

Using Big/Smart Data as well as methods and tools based on semantic
technologies can provide more transparency, enable precise and well-founded
decisions and improve planning processes, particularly with regard to
environmental and energy aspects, which will result in more sustainable and
efficient processes and systems, especially in areas such as logistics,
mobility and the Smart Grid.

 

The BDSDST 2015 workshop shall bring together researchers and practitioners
who use Big and Smart Data, preferably in combination with semantic
technologies and shall support technology transfer from foundational
research into practice. We also welcome sole contributions from Big Data,
Smart Data or semantic Web research as those might stimulate the development
of proper solutions for nowadays challenges.  

 

 

TOPICS

---------

The workshop covers diverse application areas of Big Data, Smart Data and
semantic technologies including, but not limited to:

 

* Transport logistics

* Green logistics

* Production planning control and scheduling

* Process planning and monitoring

* Maintenance logistics

* Service parts demand analytics

* Supply Chain Management

* Green Supply Chains

* Smart Factory

* Integration and visualization of sensor and mobility data

* Data-driven supply chain and traffic optimization

* Risk and congestion management 

* Disruption management

* Mobility service analytics

* Traffic flow modelling and analytics

* Emission modelling, analytics, simulation and visualization 

* Public transportation

* Prescriptive analytics

* Complex Event Processing

* Ambient Intelligence

* Cognitive Systems

* Information Integration

* eHealth

 

In addition to general usage of Big Data and semantic technologies, a
special focus will be given to using Big Data, Smart Data and semantic
technologies to improve the sustainability and energy efficiency of
processes and systems. We explicitly encourage contributions tackling this
challenge.
