ABDA 2015 - 2nd International Conference on Advances in Big Data Analytics (ABDA'15)

The conference is composed of a number of tracks, tutorials, sessions, workshops, poster and panel discussions; all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: July 27-30, 2015.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Prologue: Big Data is the collection and compilation of data sets that are so large that it becomes difficult and challenging to process using conventional or standard methods. Big Data is a moving target; what is Big now will not be considered Big in the future. Therefore, scalability of methods and algorithms is an important part of any solution. Note that papers that do not focus exclusively or primarily on Big Data should not be submitted to this conference. For example, papers that contribute to the areas of data mining and/or machine learning should be submitted to the DMIN'15 International Conference, ABDA'15 is not the right forum for topics in data mining). Papers that address any of the following topics in the context of Big Data are of interest.
