CALL FOR PAPERS

2014 Data Teaching Workshop – 1st IEEE STC CC and RDA Workshop on 
Curricula and Teaching Methods in Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data 
Science
as part of CloudCom 2014 (http://2014.cloudcom.org/), Singapore, 15-18 
December, 2014.

Scope
The emergence of Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data (Intensive) Science 
as specialized fields in computing is motivating development of new 
books and courses to provide education in the techniques and 
technologies needed to extract knowledge from large datasets in 
virtualized environment. In current literature there is a lack of 
centralized learning resource for beginners that would integrate 
administrative, programing, and algorithm design aspects of other 
related domains. We believe it is important to allow students, 
researchers, and professionals to understand cross-domain aspects of 
these challenges before they embark on further exploration of these fields.

The IEEE CS Special Technical Community on Cloud Computing and the 
Research Data Alliance hope this workshop will serve as a meeting point 
for all working on or interested in this area.

We plan to accept a small number of high quality contributions for 
extended presentations including tutorial elements. At the end of the 
workshop a forum discussion is planned to debate on future directions of 
curricula and teaching methods in Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Data 
Science

Topics
include but are not limited to the following areas applied to one of the 
fields (Cloud Computing, Big Data, Data Science) or closely related to them:
- novel or updated curricula;
- novel or existing teaching methods;
- review and presentation of novel teaching materials;
- review of methodologies;
- characterization of domain knowledge (Body of Knowledge);
- adoption as a part of institutional strategies;
- review and analysis of existing practices in the design, 
implementation, and evaluation;
- implementation reports and lessons learnt;
- future trends and issues.
