Data continue a massive expansion in scale, diversity, and complexity. Data
underpins activities in all sectors of society. As informatics is the
science of information, analytics is the science of data analysis.
Achieving the full transformative potential of big data in this
increasingly digital world requires both new data analysis algorithms and a
new class of systems and distributed computing environments to handle the
dramatic data growth, the lack of structure for much of it and the
increasing computational needs of massive-scale analytics.

We are pleased to request papers for presentation at the upcoming First
Workshop on Architectures and Systems for Big Data (ASBD 2011) held in
conjunction with PACT 2011. The workshop will provide a forum for the
exchange of research ideas related to all critical aspects of emerging
analytics systems including data management software, operating systems,
architecture support, and benchmarks and metrics. We hope to attract a
broad mix of researchers from academia, industry and funding agencies. To
encourage discussion between participants, the workshop will include
significant time for interactions between presenters and the audience. We
also plan to have a keynote speaker and/or panel session.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Scalable system and network designs for capturing large numbers of
concurrent data streams or high bandwidth data streaming
• Data management for vast amounts of unstructured data
• OS, distributed systems and system management support for very
large-scale analytics
• Debugging and performance analysis tools for analytics and data-intensive
computing
• Programming systems and language support for deep analytics
• Map/reduce and other processing paradigms for analytics
• Processor, memory and system architectures for data analytics
• Benchmarks, metrics and workload characterization for analytics and
data-intensive computing
• Accelerators for analytics and data-intensive computing
• Implications of data analytics to mobile and embedded systems
• Energy-efficiency and energy-efficient designs for analytics
• Availability, fault tolerance and data recovery in large-scale
data-oriented environments

We encourage both industry and academic researchers to submit their
research. Preliminary results of interesting ideas and work-in-progress are
welcome. Submissions that are likely to generate vigorous discussion will
be favored!

Cheers,
Anthony
