On 15 and 16 November 2018, the Embassy of Netherlands will organize in Paris the Erasme-Descartes conference, in collaboration with the French Embassy in Netherlands and under the auspices of the Franco-Dutch Initiative (IFN).Held alternately in Paris and Amsterdam since 2002, this conference aims to stimulate dialogue between France and the Netherlands and is a flagship event in bilateral Franco-Dutch cooperation.This year, 150 experts from the world of business, civil society and the public sector are invited to participate in the conference. Following the big data theme in 2017, this year's theme is artificial intelligence. More info at: https://www.paysbasetvous.nl/votre-pays-et-les-pays-bas/france/erasmus-d... 

The European Commission in collaboration with BDVA (and in particular with TF1.SG4, I-Spaces subgroup), organises a meeting on Digital Innovation Hubs on Big Data next November 7th in Brussels.

This meeting of the DIH Working Group will focus in particular on the Big Data sector, exploring how Digital Innovation Hubs can help boost the uptake of this technology by SMEs and contribute to the European data economy.

The meeting aims in particular to:

• Collect input for the definition of the Big Data Innovation Hubs in the upcoming open call DT-ICT-05 of Horizon 2020 (work programme for the year 2020).
• Contribute to the definition, role and implementation of the DIH concept in the upcoming EU programmes Digital Europe and Horizon Europe proposed from 2021.
• Collect input and contributions for the DIHs on AI.

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

Submission
Papers must follow the ACM formatting instructions:http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacbdecsa2018.

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
