THEME OF THE CONFERENCE
Big Data: problems solved and remaining challenges


The amount of data available for analysis, especially economy-related data, is increasing rapidly. According to MGI and McKinsey's Business Technology Group, Big Data is becoming a key basis of competition, important factor of productivity growth, innovation, consumer surplus as well as organizational effectiveness. Currently, Big Data is one of the hottest trends in the areas like recommendation engines, network monitoring, sentiment analysis, fraud detection, risk modeling, marketing campaign analysis, and social graph analysis. However, there is a need to remodel technologies, applications, infrastructure, and business processes in order to take full advantage of the possibilities offered by Big Data.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to BIS 2014 conference. The BIS conference is a well-respected event joining international researchers to discuss the wide range of the development, implementation, application and improvement of business applications and systems. It is addressed to the scientific community, people involved in the development of business computer applications, consultants helping to properly implement computer technology and applications in the industry.
