3rd ITALIAN CONFERENCE ON BIG DATA AND DATA SCIENCE (ITADATA2024) September 17-19, 2024, Pisa, Italy https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fitadata.i… <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itada…> ***ABOUT*** The Italian Conference on Big Data and Data Science (ITADATA2024), at its third edition, is the annual event supported by the CINI Data ScienceNational Laboratory that aims to put together Italian researchers and professionals from academia, industry, government, and public administration working in the field of big data and data science, as well as related fields (e.g., security and privacy, HPC, Cloud). This year the conference is supported also by SoBigDataRI (https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sobigd… <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sobigd…>) which is a multi-disciplinary European research infrastructure aimed at using social mining and big data to understand the complexity of society. The conference will be structured into a main research track on big data and data science and complemented with tutorials/demos on specific solutions and prototypes developed by industries, research centers and universities, and thematic workshops on specific verticals of big data and data science. The conference will also feature selected distinguished keynote speeches and some panels. ITADATA2024 aims to discuss and shape the future of Big Data and Data Science in Italy and abroad, considering the multidisciplinary, complex, heterogeneous, and data-centric environment in which modern distributed systems are operating. The ability to timelymanage and analyze large amountsof data, and to guarantee low-latency access to the data themselves increasingly become critical requirements and are at the heart of modern business processes. In this context, data science, as the foundation of today's data-driven society, plays the role of developing and defining all the technologies needed to support construction of value on data in multidisciplinary areas at increasing complexity. ITADATA2024 covers theoretical and practical research and application pertaining todata, from data governance to data processing and analysis. It also covers research and application in related domains where data and data science technologies are key, such as cloud, edge and IoT, intelligent and high-performancecomputing, blockchain, security and privacy, assuranceand certification. It finally considers and analyzes the evolution of big data and data science at EU and national level, trying to map current activities in the context of data spaces and relevant organizations/associations such as, for instance, the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), as well as policy development, laws, and regulations. ***IMPORTANT DATES*** Research Paper/Presentation submissions due: June 2nd, 2024 Final notification to authors: July 2nd, 2024 Camera-ready paper and registration due: July 15th, 2024 Tutorial/Demo/Workshop/Panel submissions due: May 15th, 2024 Final notifications to proposers: June 3rd, 2024 ***CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS*** ITADATA2024 welcomes original papers from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of Big Data and data science including data governance, data processing, data analysis, data reporting, data protection, as well as experimental studies and lessons learned.

MUSA: Plenaria WP1 21/2 annullata => sostituita con incontro coi pilot
by Francesco Zavatarelli 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Buongiorno a tutti In considerazione del fatto che abbiamo appena spedito la rendicontazione scientifica per il periodo novembre 2023 – febbraio 2024 riteniamo di dover annullare la call “Plenaria WP1” programmata per il giorno 21/2. Riteniamo però utile fare un veloce aggiornamento sui due prossimi due pilot dalle h14 alle h15: · 1.2.2: Pilot Exploiting Genomic Data for Drug Design (gruppo Norata) · 1.2.3: Fusion of image-tabular data for federated learning of diagnostic models (gruppo Gianini / Bracco) Seguirà quindi una mail agli utenti coinvolti nei due pilot. Per tutti gli altri l’appuntamento è per la plenaria WP1 del 21 marzo h 9 - h 13. *PS: c'è qualche problema sulle mailing-list. Questo messaggio potrebbe risultare duplicato* Grazie Cordiali saluti Francesco Zavatarelli -- Francesco Zavatarelli
