IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management
Special Issue on Advances in Big Data Analytics for Management
http://www.comsoc.org/tnsm/cfp/si-bdm
(Submissions due: 3 May 2017)
===========================================================================
Cloud and network analytics can harness the immense stream of
operational data from clouds and networks, and can perform analytics
processing to improve reliability, configuration, performance, and
security management. In particular, we see a growing trend towards
using statistical analysis and machine learning to improve operations
and management of IT systems and networks.
Research is therefore needed to understand and improve the potential
and suitability of Big Data analytics in the context of systems and
network management. This will not only provide deeper understanding
and better decision making based on largely collected and available
operational data, but present opportunities for improving data
analysis algorithms and methods on aspects such as accuracy and
scalability. Moreover, there is an opportunity to define novel
platforms that can harness the vast operational data and advanced data
analysis algorithms to drive management decisions in networks, data
centers, and clouds.
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (IEEE TNSM) is a
premier journal for timely publication of archival research on the
management of networks, systems, services and applications. Following
the success of TNSM special issue on Big Data Analytics for Management
(September 2016), this special issue of TNSM will focus on "Advances
in Big Data Analytics for Management," presenting recent, emerging
approaches and technical solutions that can exploit Big Data and
analytics in management solutions. We welcome submissions addressing
the underlying challenges of Big Data Analytics for Management and
presenting novel theoretical or experimentation results. Survey papers
that offer a perspective on related work and identify key challenges
for future research will be considered as well.

Paper Submission and Publication
----------------------------------------
SISAP 2017 allows for three forms of submissions: long research papers
(from 9 to 14 pages), short research papers (of up to 8 pages) and
demo papers (of up to 8 pages). Full papers are expected to be descriptions
of complete technical work, whereas short papers can describe innovative
approaches or preliminary results which may nevertheless require more work
to mature. Vision papers and other position papers should be submitted as
short research papers.
Demo submissions should provide the motivation for the demonstrated concepts,
the information about the technology and the system to be demonstrated
(including a system description, functionality and figures when applicable),
and should state the significance of the contribution. The scenarios within
which the demonstration applies should also be explained. Evaluation criteria
for the demonstration proposals include: novelty, technical advances and
challenges, and the overall practical attractiveness of the demonstrated
system.
By submitting a paper, its authors commit to its presentation at the
conference in the event that the paper is accepted. For an accepted paper
to be included in the proceedings, at least one of its authors must register
for the conference. At SISAP 2017, all research papers will be presented
both orally and in a poster session. The demos will also be presented in
the poster session - posters should be prepared for these as well.
All research and demo papers will be given an entry in the conference
proceedings.
Papers submitted to SISAP 2017 must be written in English and formatted
according to the LNCS guidelines. Papers will be submitted in PDF format
through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sisap2017).
If you experience any problems during the submission, please contact the
Program Committee Co-Chairs at sisap2017(a)easychair.org.
The proceedings of SISAP will be published by Springer as a volume in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For SISAP 2016, as in
previous years, extended versions of 5 excellent papers will be invited
for publication in a special issue of the journal Information Systems.
The conference will also confer a Best Paper Award, as judged by the
Program Committee Co-Chairs and Steering Committee.
----------------------------------------
Special Session for Industry

*CALL FOR PAPERS*
*8th International Workshop on*
*Biological **Knowledge Discovery from Big Data **(BIOKDD'17)*
Held in parallel with
*28th International Conference on Database and *
*Expert Systems Applications **(**DEXA’17**)*
*www.dexa.org/biokdd2017 <http://www.dexa.org/biokdd2017>*
Lyon, France
August 28 - 31, 2017
In the recent years, there has been a rapid development of biological
technologies producing more and more *biological data*, i.e., data related
to biological macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins). The rise of *Next
Generation Sequencing* (NGS) technologies, also known as *high-throughput
sequencing* technologies, has contributed actively to the deluge of these
data. In general, these data are big, heterogeneous, complex, and distributed
in all over the world in databases. Analyzing biological big data is a
challenging task, not only, because of its complexity and its multiple and
numerous correlated factors, but also, because of the continuous evolution
of our understanding of the biological mechanisms. Classical approaches of
biological data analysis are no longer efficient and produce only a very
limited amount of information, compared to the numerous and complex
biological mechanisms under study. From here comes the necessity to adopt
new computer tools and develop new *in silico* high performance approaches
to support us in the analysis of biological big data and, hence, to help us
in our understanding of the correlations that exist between, on one hand,
structures and functional patterns in biological macromolecules and, on the
other hand, genetic and biochemical mechanisms. *Biological **Knowledge
Discovery from Big Data* (BIOKDD) is a response to these new trends.
Topics of BIOKDD’17 workshop include, but not limited to:
*Data Preprocessing: *Biological Big Data Storage*, *Representation
and Management
(data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks
and pathways, …), Biological Big Data Cleaning (errors removal, redundant
data removal, completion of missing data, …), Feature Extraction
(motifs, subgraphs,
…), Feature Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid
approaches, embedded approaches, …).
*Data Mining: *Biological Big Data Regression (regression of biological
sequences…), Biological Big Data Clustering/Biclustering (microarray data
biclustering, clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, …),
Biological Big Data Classification (classification of biological sequences…),
Association Rules Learning from Biological Big Data, Text mining and
Application to Biological Sequences, Web mining and Application to
Biological Big Data, Parallel, Cloud and Grid Computing for Biological Big
Data Mining.
*Data Postprocessing:* Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering,
Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization,
Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the
classification error rate, evaluation of the association rules *via*
numerical indicators, e.g. *measurements of interest*, … ), Biological
Nuggets of Knowledge Integration
*PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: *
Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in
English. Submitted papers should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE CSP
