[Rdap] [ESIP-all] Call for papers: Springer Journal of Big Data (JOBD) (fwd)

[Joe Hourcle]

I know that not everyone on here deals with 'big data', but I thought this 
might be of interest to some of the people on the list.

(and they *do* define 'big data' in terms of variety / volume / volume, so 
'small science' with a lot of variety would still fit in their call)

-Joe H.

ps.  Yes, I know some people are boycotting all of the big science
      publishers; if this had been for an Elsevier journal, I'd not have
      bothered forwarding it along.

Aim
===
In light of the dramatic growth of Big Data analytics and data intensive 
computing and relating technologies, the aim of the Journal is to publish 
state-of-the-art articles in this field. The Journal is intended for a 
wide variety of readers including academicians, developers, educators, 
engineers, practitioners, researchers, and graduate students.

Description of the field
========================
Big Data Analytics is no longer a specialized solution for cutting-edge 
technology companies; it refers to a cost-effective way to store and 
analyze large volume of data across many industries. The applications of 
Big Data include health care and life sciences; supply chain, logistics, 
and manufacturing; online services and Web analytics; financial services; 
energy and utilities; media and telecommunications; and retail and 
consumer products. Big Data can be defined via three Vs: volume, velocity, 
and variety. Volume refers to the raw scale of records, transactions, 
tables, and files; velocity includes batch processing, near time, 
real-time, and streaming; while variety includes structured, unstructured, 
and semi-structured data. The Journal will focus on articles discussing 
Big Data challenges including data capture and storage; search, sharing, 
and analytics; Big Data technologies; and data visualization. A special 
focus will be given to Big Data technologies including architectures for 
massively parallel processing, data mining tools and techniques, machine 
learning algorithms for Big Data, distributed file systems and databases, 
cloud computing platforms, and scalable storage systems.
