General Information
On March 29, 2012, the White House announced the Big Data Research and
Development Initiative to mobilize the research and development
enterprise towards Big Data analytics for solving some of the nation's
most pressing challenges. Many agencies are involved, spanning from
National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health to
the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. Signal
processing and systems engineering communities can be important
contributors to Big Data research and development, complementing
computer and information science-based efforts in this direction. Big
Data analytics entail high-dimensional, decentralized, online, and
robust statistical signal processing, as well as large, distributed,
fault-tolerant, and intelligent systems engineering. There is a need and
opportunity for the signals and systems communities to jointly pursue
Big Data research and development.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together signal processing
scientists and engineers, computer and information scientists, applied
mathematicians and statisticians, as well as systems engineers to carve
out the role that analytical and experimental engineering has to play in
Big Data research and development. This workshop will emphasize signal
analytics and systems engineering aspects of Big Data. Time is of
essence, as the premise is to engage the engineering community and help
shape up research directions for the next few years.
