BIDMA 2018


Data Mining & Analysis Databases & Information Systems Artificial Intelligence



BIDMA organizing committee invites you to participate in the third International Symposium on Big Data Management and Analytics (BIDMA 2018), to be held on April 24-25, in Calgary, Canada. The theme topics of the symposium include the technology aspect of Big Data management, as well as business and application aspects of different services (web-based services, cloud-based services, business services, mobile services, and Big Data services).
Papers can be submitted to one of the following tracks:
a) Academic Track
The objective of the Academic Track at BIDMA 2018 is to provide a strong basis for collaboration among researchers to conduct research in the field of data management and data analytics. BIDMA 2018 strives to offer papers which describe various tools, techniques, and methodologies which explore the contemporary challenges with data management, processing, and analytics.
b) Industry Track
The objective of the Industry Track at BIDMA 2018 is to establish dialogue and encourage collaboration among practitioners and researchers in the data analytics community. The industry track papers will address the application of data management and data analytics to a specific problem domain.
c) Education Track
This track explores research questions surrounding the role of data in education. Topics such as data-driven education as well as Big Data in curricula are addressed.
d) Thesis Track
This track is intended for students at any stage of their Ph.D. work. The selected students will be requested to present their work in a special session of the BIDMA 2018 Symposium. These Students will be given an opportunity to get feedback and advice on how to improve their Ph.D. thesis research.
