CALL FOR PAPERSWith the increasing success of cloud computing, cloud business intelligence "as a service" offerings have sparkled widely, both from cloud start-ups and major BI industry vendors. Beyond porting BI features into the cloud, which already implies numerous issues (e.g., BigData/NoSQL database modeling and storage, data localization, security and privacy, performance, cost and usage models...), this trend also poses new, broader challenges for making data analytics available to small and middle-size enterprises (SMEs), non-governmental organizations, web communities (e.g., supported by social networks), and even the average citizen; this vision presumably requiring a mixture of both private and open data.
The aim of the Cloud-I workshop is to become an interdisciplinary, regular exchange forum for researchers, industry and practitioners, as well as all potential users of Cloud Intelligence. The submission of research, industrial, position, visionary and student papers are encouraged to fuel up the discussion.
The 1st International Workshop on Cloud Intelligence (Cloud-I 2012) will be collocated with the 38th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2012). Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of a leading database journal (pending negotiation).
The topics of the Cloud-I workshop include, but are not limited to, the following list. - Accessibility of Cloud Intelligence - Analytics for complex data - Analytics for social networks - Analytics for temporal, spatial, spatio-temporal and mobile data - Benchmarking Cloud Intelligence applications - Cloud data warehouse design and architectures - Cloud infrastructure for analytics applications - Cloud Intelligence on linked data - Collaborative Cloud Intelligence - Cooperative Cloud Intelligence - Crowd intelligence - Data analytics as a service - Data mining over the cloud - Economic/payment models for cloud intelligence - Extracting, Transforming and Loading data over the cloud - Human-Computer interaction for Cloud Intelligence - Massive data analytics: algorithms, techniques and systems - OLAP over the cloud - Open and private data cross-integration - Personal intelligence - Privacy and security in Cloud Intelligence - Real-time/right-time and event-based analytics, performance issues - Reliability and fault tolerance in Cloud Intelligence - Scalability and parallelization for Cloud Intelligence: MapReduce and beyond - Semantic Web intelligence - Sharing and reusing Cloud Intelligence results
