*2^nd INTERNATIONAL WINTER SCHOOL ON BIG DATA*

*BigDat 201**6*
*Bilbao**, Spain***
*February 8-12, 2016***
Organized by:

********************************************************
*AIM:*
BigDat 2016 will be a research training event addressed to graduates and
postgraduates in the first steps of their academic career. With a global
scope, it aims at updating them about the most recent advances in the
critical and fast developing area of big data, which covers a large
spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation with an
extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries,
medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned
academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with
the audience.
Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations,
infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and
applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of
big data will be identified through 5 keynote lectures, 16 six-hour
courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active and
promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers
will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will
be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants
the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes.
*ADDRESSED TO:*
Graduates and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal
pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will
be differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may
be assumed for some of them. BigDat 2016 is also appropriate for more
senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments
and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and
discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
*REGIME:*
In addition to keynotes, at least 2 courses will run in parallel during
the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses
they will be willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.
*VENUE:*
BigDat 2016 will take place in Bilbao, the capital of the Basque Country
region, famous for its gastronomy and the seat of the Guggenheim Museum.
