Big Data concern large-volume, complex, growing data sets with multiple, autonomous sources. With the fast development of networking, data storage, and the data collection capacity, Big Data are now rapidly expanding in all science and engineering domains, including physical, biological and biomedical sciences. With the advances of information communication technologies, it is critical to improve the efficiency and accuracy of modern data processing techniques. The past decade has witnessed the tremendous technical advances in Sensor Networks, Internet/Web of Things, Cloud Computing, Mobile/Embedded Computing, Spatial/Temporal Data Processing, and Big Data, and these technologies have provided new opportunities and solutions to data processing techniques. Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity).
This special session wants to demonstrate the emerging issues in the research of Big Data and approaches towards the knowledge engineering. Original and research articles are solicited in all aspects including theoretical studies, practical applications, and experimental prototypes.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and selected on the basis of both their quality and their relevance to the theme of this special issue. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
The title of your paper should have (BDKE) at the end, for example, "Comparative Study of Knowledge Visualization Tools (BDKE)".
Papers accepted by SEKE2018 must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. This is a pre-condition for your paper to be further considered for publication in a special issue in IJSEKE on BDKE. The revised version must have about 40% additional content compared to the conference paper.
