Poster submission deadline: September 7, 2019
Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: September 14, 2019
SUBMISSION
Please submit a .pdf abstract through:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=slsp2019
It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words.
PRESENTATION
Posters will be allocated 10 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging out during the whole conference for discussion.
PUBLICATION
Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNAI proceedings volume of SLSP 2019. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue in Computer Speech and Language (JCR 2018 impact factor: 1.776).
REGISTRATION
At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference by September 30, 2019. The registration fare is reduced: 285 Euro.

********************************************************
SCOPE:
BigDat 2020 will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at updating participants on the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of big data, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, 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, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications (to biological and health sciences, to business, finance and transportation, to online social networks, etc.). Major challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 2 keynote lectures and 24 four-hour and a half courses, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event.
An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special sessions with industrial and recruitment profiles.
ADDRESSED TO:
Master's students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. Overall, BigDat 2020 is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
STRUCTURE:
3 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 from one to another.
