HiPC 2016 Workshop 1: International Workshop on Foundations of Big Data Computing (BigDF)

Description What constitutes a “Big Data” problem? What application domains are best suited to benefit from Big Data analytics and computing? What are the traits and characteristics of an application that make it suited to exploit Big Data analytics? How can Big Data systems and frameworks be designed to allow the integration and analysis of complex data sets? How can research in Big Data Analytics benefit from the latest advances in supercomputing and High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures? The goal of this workshop is to address questions like these that are fundamental to the advancement of Big Data computing, and in the process, build a diverse research community that has a shared vision to advance the state of knowledge and discovery through Big Data computing.
