Track 14: Call for Paper

Big Data has recently become a novel ubiquitous term to describe large datasets that are quite challenging to store, search, share, visualize, and analyze. Effective management and analysis of the Big Data should bring great benefits and unique opportunities in different domains. In this context, discovering, extracting, and analyzing vast amounts of geological data is a big challenge. BDDG 2015 is to promote research works in this emerging area of Big Data-inspired computing, systems, and applications in the field of digital geology. In this special track, we invite authors to submit original unpublished works on big data in geological systems, focusing on following topics (but not limited to):
- Complex Big Data Applications in Geoscientific Information Systems
- Big Data Analytics in Digital Geology
- Real-life Case Studies of Value Creation through Big Data Analytics
- Visualization Analytics for Big Data
- Geological Theoretical and Computational Models for Big Data
- Algorithms and Architectures for Big Data Mining
- Geological Development with Big Data Systems
- Cloud/Grid/Stream Computing for Big Data
- Compression, Storage and Retrieval in Geological Data Systems
- Forecast Models for Big Data Analytics
- Privacy Preserving Big Data Analytics
- Quality Management for Big Data
- Geological Data Acquisition, Integration, Cleaning and Best Practices
