Bigdata 2017 - International Workshop on Managing and Mining Heterogeneous Big Mobile Data from Smart Devices

The international Workshop on Managing and Mining Heterogeneous Big Mobile Data from Smart Devices
Organizer : Vincent W. Zheng, Bin Guo, Defu Lian and Hong Cao
Date : TBD
Website : TBD
With the proliferation of smart devices, we are generating big mobile data every day. According to CISCO’s report, in year 2015 the smart devices have already accounted for 89% of the global mobile data traffic; besides, the mobile data traffic will continue to grow quickly by 53% per year from 2015 to 2020. Such big mobile data is precious, as they naturally carry a lot of useful information about the environments and the mobile users. It is important for us to be able to parse, understand and derive useful insights from the big mobile data.
The theme of this workshop is how to manage the heterogeneity of big mobile data. Heterogeneity naturally exists in big mobile data, because there are many different kinds of smart devices (e.g., smartphones, smart watches, fitness wristband, augmented reality and virtual reality head mounted devices, etc.) and different kinds of sensors (e.g., GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, cell tower, gyroscope, compass, camera and so on) to generate various kinds of information. The resulting data can be either time series of sensor readings, text, images and even multimedia.
