[BBLISA-announce] CFP - Workshop on Data-Centric Infrastructure for Big Data Science - DIBS (with IEEE BigData) October 29th, Santa Clara, California

[Ivan Rodero]

*First Workshop on Data-Centric Infrastructure for Big Data Science (DIBS)*
*
**http://renci.org/dibs2015/**
**October 29th, 2015, Santa Clara, California**
**co-located with IEEE BigData 2015*

Today's infrastructure to support Big Data science applications follows 
traditional control-centric approach wherein behaviour, and not data and 
data operations, is the primary organizing construct of its design. This 
limits the potential data-handling capabilities of such infrastructures. 
For example, it hinders explicit handling of data at various system 
layers (e.g., network and file system) to satisfy multi-domain 
requirements, such as security, performance and resource-aware data 
management for reducing operational costs.
Central to these challenges is the fact that software tools and 
infrastructure to support collaboration have evolved in a piecemeal 
fashion.  Data management technologies such as data-grids enable 
sophisticated operations to integrate data from multiple administrative 
domains into one single abstraction. Cloud models such as Infrastructure 
as a Service (IaaS) facilitate the rapid deployment of networked virtual 
infrastructure (i.e., Clouds) and fast data transfers. On one hand, 
these technologies do not address the Big Data challenge by working 
independently. On the other hand, they present complex opaque APIs and 
use different resource abstractions that hinder their integration, thus 
preventing data from playing a central role in making decisions  in an 
automated fashion.

This workshop brings together system researchers, practitioners and 
domain scientists with expertise and interest in Big Data Science to 
explore novel data-driven approaches in developing and deploying 
software designs and infrastructure. We will focus on capturing research 
that seeks to take a holistic and integrated approach to data, 
infrastructure and resource management; domain science applications that 
can benefit from these novel data-centric software infrastructures; and 
experiences that help us navigate the problem space.

  * Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to)
    the following subject categories:
  * Novel designs approaches and software infrastructures to support Big
    Data Science
  * Networking support for Big Data Science (beyond speeding up data
    transfers)
  * Security including preservation of data privacy in distributed
    computation settings
  * Big Data Science use cases with stringent performance requirements
  * Storage infrastructure for Big Data Science
  * Resource-aware data management
  * Big Data infrastructure designs to support Big Data Science


*Venue and Date *

The workshop will be co-located with IEEE BigData 2015, the 2015 IEEE 
International Conference on BigData 
(http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2015/) in Santa Clara, California 
on October 29th, 2015. It will be a half-day or full-day event depending 
on the number of submissions.
