IIIT Hyderabad to host Big Data Analytics (BDA) conference on Dec 12

Hyderabad, Dec 11: The Telangana's IIIT-Hyderabad will host the fifth edition of big data analytics (BDA) conference at its campus from 12-15 December.

The conference is an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their original research results, practical experiences and thoughts on big data from different perspectives including storage models, data access, computing paradigms, analytics, information sharing and privacy, redesigning mining algorithms, open issues, and future research trends.

It will include 10 research papers (selected out of 80 submissions), three keynote talks, five invited talks, seven tutorials, one-panel discussion and a workshop.

Streaming data, social media content, electronic medical records, astronomy surveys, genomic and proteomic studies and similar areas generate data at a scale that is becoming increasingly difficult to manage using traditional database technologies.

Besides volume, analytics has to face challenges such as heterogeneity, timeliness, and complexity, velocity and privacy issues.
