Focus Areas

Big Data presents unprecedented opportunities for improving the understanding about natural environment and human activities to make smarter decisions. The aim of this workshop is to bring together signal and information processing researchers, applied mathematicians and statisticians and systems engineers to determine the role that analytical and experimental engineering has to play in Big Data research and development. It is anticipated that meetings organized by this working group provide forums that will inspire the advancement of scientific and technological means in managing, analyzing, visualizing and extracting useful information from large, diverse, distributed and heterogeneous data sets.
