International conference on Big Data & Knowledge Discovery
Date: 9th to 11th March 2016

Hosted By
Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC),
Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Bangalore, India

Much of the research generates, analyses data making it ubiquitous
especially in applied sciences whether it is natural, physical and
social.  Worldwide there has been keen interest in Big Data
applications in many a domain.  We foresee at least four key players
in the emerging Data Science - Library and Information Professionals
(involved in acquisition, curation and publishing big data), computer
science professionals (creating plat forms for big data like hadoop
eco-system), statisticians (analytics and visualization) and domain
experts.

The situation opens up new and interesting opportunities for
professionals to explore and learn all aspects of what has taken the
shape, holistically, of DATA SCIENCE.  In view of the developments in
data, Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical
Institute announces International Conference on Big Data and Knowledge
Discovery (ICBK). The objective of the conference is to offer a
platform for exchange of ideas of the international community related
to all aspects of data science.  The conference offers the opportunity
to explore the main theme of Big Data and Knowledge discovery under
