The Third International Conference on Big Data,
Small Data, Linked Data and Open Data

ALLDATA 2017
April 23 - 27, 2017 - Venice, Italy


Call for Papers

The volume and the complexity of available information overwhelm human and computing resources. Several approaches, technologies and tools are dealing with different types of data when searching, mining, learning and managing existing and increasingly growing information.  From understanding Small data, the academia and industry recently embraced Big data, Linked data, and Open data. Each of these concepts carries specific foundations, algorithms and techniques, and is suitable and successful for different kinds of application. While approaching each concept from a silo point of view allows a better understanding (and potential optimization), no application or service can be developed without considering all data types mentioned above.

ALLDATA 2017, The International Conference on Big Data, Small Data, Linked Data and Open Data, follows a series of events bridging the concepts and the communities devoted to each of data categories for a better understanding of data semantics and their use, by taking advantage from the development of Semantic Web, Deep Web, Internet, non-SQL and SQL structures, progresses in data processing, and the new tendency for acceptance of open environments.

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions.

Challenges in processing Big Data and applications
Data classification: small/big/huge, volume, velocity, veridicity, value, etc.
Data properties: syntax, semantics, sensitivity, similarity, scarcity, spacial/temporal, completeness, accuracy, compactness, etc.
Data processing: mining, searching, feature extraction, clustering, aggregating, rating, filtering, etc.
Data relationships: linked data, open data, linked open data, etc.
Exploiting big/linked data: upgrading legacy open data, integrating probabilist models, spam detection, datasets for noise corrections, predicting reliability, pattern mining, linking heterogeneous dataset collections, exploring type-specific topic profiles of datasets, efficient large-scale ontology matching etc.
Applications: event-based linked data, large scale multi-dimensional network analysis, error detection of atmospheric data,  exploring urban data in smart cities, studying health fatalities,  estimating the energy demand at real-time in cellular networks, multilingual word sense disambiguation, creating open source tool for semantically enriching data, etc.
