Hi all, since this list has many members working with what we now call "Big Data" infrastructures and there's also a healthy amount of scientific members, I figured the following CfP might be of interest. I am in the PC and the program chair is my former PhD advisor, so it's not completely unrelated spam. ;) BR, --ck ---8<---- snip ------------------------------ Call for Papers 2013 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2013) http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2013/index.htm October 6-9, 2013, Silicon Valley, CA, USA, In recent years, “Big Data” has become a new ubiquitous term.
