CALL FOR PAPERS

Data have become a torrent flowing in many important areas. Big data
refers to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of current
state-of-the art analytic tools. Streaming data is an specific approach
to deal with big data that is evolving and changing. Parallelization is
another scalable approach to mine large quantities of data.

This special session aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to
share their ideas and efforts in building new algorithms, methods and
software for dealing with big data, static or evolving streams.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Evolving Stream Mining
* Large-scale Machine Learning
* Distributed System Platforms: Hadoop, S4, Storm
* Evaluation Methodologies
* Visualization Techniques for Big Data
* Social Media Mining

IMPORTANT DATES
