FRAMEWORK:
BigDat 2023 Summer is part of a multi-event called Deep&Big 2023 consisting=
also of DeepLearn 2023 Summer. BigDat 2023 Summer participants will have t=
he opportunity to attend lectures in the program of DeepLearn 2023 Summer a=
s well if they are interested.
SCOPE:
BigDat 2023 Summer will be a research training event with a global scope ai=
ming at updating participants on the most recent advances in the critical a=
nd fast developing area of big data. Previous events were held in Tarragona=
, Bilbao, Bari, Timisoara, Cambridge and Ancona.
Big data is a broad field covering a large spectrum of current exciting res=
earch and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge =
impact on scientific discoveries, health, engineering, business models, and=
society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and =
share their views with the audience.
Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely foundations, infrastructur=
e, management, search and mining, analytics, security and privacy, as well =
as applications to biology and medicine, business, finance, transportation,=
online social networks, etc. Major challenges of analytics, management and=
storage of big data will be identified through 14 four-hour and a half cou=
rses and 2 keynote lectures, which will tackle the most active and promisin=
g topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attra=
ct the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and =
networking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible =
to fully participate in vivo remotely.
An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own=
work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special session=
s with industrial and employment profiles.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be=
typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisi=
tes for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more adv=
anced in their career will be welcome as well. Since there will be a variet=
y of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the c=
ourses. Overall, BigDat 2023 Summer is addressed to students, researchers a=
nd practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developme=
nts and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and di=
scuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
VENUE:
BigDat 2023 Summer will take place in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the At=
lantic Ocean, with a mild climate throughout the year, sandy beaches and a =
renowned carnival. The venue will be:
Instituci=C3=B3n Ferial de Canarias

STRUCTURE:
2 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be=
able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move f=
rom one to another.
Also, if interested, participants will be able to attend courses developed =
in DeepLearn 2023 Summer, which will be held in parallel and at the same ve=
nue.
Full live online participation will be possible. The organizers highlight, =
however, the importance of face to face interaction and networking in this =
kind of research training event.
