BDSDST 2015 - 2015 Workshop on Big Data, Smart Data and Semantic Technologies

The focus of BDSDST 2015 will be on potential of Big Data, Smart Data and semantic technologies in different
application areas.
Growing technical possibilities to gather and aggregate multi-modal data from sensors, mobile devices,
social media, log files, cameras, microphones etc. provide useful information about the state and the
environment of the data sources, but also result in large and complex data sets, which today are known as
Big Data. When processed properly by right predictive and prescriptive analytic approaches, Big Data
might carry huge amounts of useful information, which was not accessible before and allow for
better-founded, more robust predictions and better decision-making. Combined with semantic
technologies, which enable machines and people likewise to understand and share data and facilitate the
interrelation and integration of data, content and processes in meaningful ways, the maximum potential
of the gathered data can be exploited.
Using Big/Smart Data as well as methods and tools based on semantic technologies can provide more
transparency, enable precise and well-founded decisions and improve planning processes,
particularly with regard to environmental and energy aspects, which will result in more sustainable and
efficient processes and systems, especially in areas such as logistics, mobility and the Smart Grid.
The BDSDST 2015 workshop shall bring together researchers and practitioners who use Big and Smart Data,
preferably in combination with semantic technologies and shall support technology transfer from
foundational research into practice. We also welcome sole contributions from Big Data, Smart Data or
semantic Web research as those might stimulate the development of proper solutions for nowadays
challenges.
