The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics for Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE’18) provides a forum on the use of ontologies, rules and data semantics in novel applications. Of particular relevance to ODBASE are papers that bridge traditional boundaries between disciplines such as artificial intelligence and Semantic Web, databases, data science, data analytics and machine learning, human-computer interaction, social networks, distributed and mobile systems, data and information retrieval, knowledge discovery, and computational linguistics.

The IoT Solutions World Congress is where real digital transformation happens. A unique event dedicated exclusively to joining IoT providers with industry in order to help the latter increase productivity via this disruptive technology.After three editions, the event has grown to become the global reference for industrial IoT, and the annual meeting for industry stakeholders to establish new partnerships.More information at https://www.iotsworldcongress.com/

The 12th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing will take place in Bilbao from the 15th to the 17th October 2018. 

Introduction
Software architecture is a critical cornerstone of the current complex software systems. This workshop aims at discuss on advanced solutions for systems involving one or several of the following technological paradigms: big data, or big data integration with cloud computing / IOT / HPC / artificial intelligence. Industrial case studies including demonstrations and applied research experiences reports for novel contributions as well as visionary papers are welcome. Overall design and performance issues and challenges are expected to be addressed. Moreover, solutions to enforce both security, transparency and ethics by design are also expected.

Venue
SACBD is co-located with ECSA2018, all information can be found here. Notice that in order to attend the workshop you will have to register. 

Agenda

Call for papers (closed)
Short papers (2-3 pages average length. 4 pages max. length) are requested. It is estimated to accept 3 papers per thematic slot, which means a maximum of 12 papers. This is a forum for discussing the different architectural challenges related to big data. Envisaged thematic slots are the following:

• software architectures in genuine big data scenarios (big data)
• combining big data and IoT and/or exploiting big data with HPC (big data integration with cloud computing / IOT / HPC)
• applying machine learning to big data scenarios (big data integration with artificial intelligence)
• fostering businesses with big data through cloud and analytics (industrial case studies, demonstrations and applied research experiences reports, visionary papers)

Submitted papers will be ranked according to the established selection criteria by the Workshop Committee. At least one author of each accepted paper must register at ECSA2018. 

Important dates

• Papers submission: June 21 (Extension of deadline!)
• Acceptance notification: July 3
• Camera ready: July 12

Organisation Committee 

Building on current European, cross-border, national and private initiatives, this joint workshop focuses on identifying the main challenges ahead to develop the so-called European Data Space, essential for the development of AI, and to identify potential paths for the future.

The workshop is organised jointly by the European Commission (DG CNECT), the Big Data Value Association, and the euRobotics Association.

By invitation only. If you are interested in contributing to this workshop please contact Data4AI@core.bdav.eu

ESOCC 2018 will include a special track entirely devoted to presenting results and perspectives of EU research projects on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing. This session features a good opportunity for presenters to disseminate the results of their project and for participants to get an updated view of the ongoing research on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing.

Take the opportunity to attend the workshop “Transforming Decision and Policy Making through Big Data” and share your perspective on how big data driven modernisation in decision and policy making will come into effect. Four EU funded projects (Big Policy Canvas, PoliVisu, BigDataOcean, Aegis) that target big data exploitation in different domains of policy, join forces to organise a worskhop  This workshop will be active, fast-paced, structured and fun and will provide a forum to exchange experiences, best practices and ideas among all the participants.The workshop takes place on September 4th in Krems, Austria.For more information, please contact: nuria.rodriguez@atos.net Find the full invitation here. 

The 44th Euromicro Conference on SEAA will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from August 29 to August 31, 2018. 

IJCAI-ECAI 2018, the 27th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 23rd European Conference on Artificial Intelligence is the premier international gathering of researchers in AI.IJCAI-ECAI-18 is part of the Federated AI Meeting (FAIM) that takes place at Stockholmsmässan in Stockholm July 9-19.
