BigData 2013 - The 2013 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2013)

As cloud computing turning computing and software into commodity services, everything as a service in other words, it leads to not only a technology revolution but also a business revolution. Insights and impacts of various types of services (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service, business process as a service) have to be reexamined. The IEEE International Conference on Big Data (BigData) aims to provide an international forum that formally explores various business insights of all kinds of "services" in the field of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. Big Data is a key enabler of exploring business insights and economics of services, which was addressed in the first version of this conference (i.e. The 2012 International Conference on Services Economics (SE 2012)). In July 2012, the committee has decided to focus on the key enabler of business insights: Big Data. BigData 2013's major topics include but not limited to: Big Data Architecture, Big Data Modeling, Big Data As A Service, Big Data for Vertical Industries (Government, Healthcare, etc.), Big Data Analytics, Big Data Toolkits, Big Data Open Platforms, Economic Analysis, Big Data for Enterprise Transformation, Big Data in Business Performance Management, Big Data for Business Model Innovations and Analytics, Big Data in Enterprise Management Models and Practices, Big Data in Government Management Models and Practices, and Big Data in Smart Planet Solutions.
