8th Annual GSTF International Conference on ICT: Big Data, Cloud and Security (ICT-BDCS) 2017 Singapore

Big Data is a key enabler of explor­ing busi­ness insights and eco­nom­ics of ser­vices and is already mak­ing large impacts in finance, man­u­fac­tur­ing, retail, and social net­works. BDCS 2017’s include but not lim­ited to: Big Data Archi­tec­ture, Big Data Mod­el­ing, Big Data As A Ser­vice, Big Data for Ver­ti­cal Indus­tries (Gov­ern­ment, Health­care, etc.), Big Data Ana­lyt­ics, Big Data Toolk­its, Big Data Open Plat­forms, Eco­nomic Analy­sis, Big Data for Enter­prise Trans­for­ma­tion, Big Data in Busi­ness Per­for­mance Man­age­ment, Big Data for Busi­ness Model Inno­va­tions and Ana­lyt­ics, Big Data in Enter­prise Man­age­ment Mod­els and Prac­tices, Big Data in Gov­ern­ment Man­age­ment Mod­els and Prac­tices, and Big Data in Smart Planet Solutions.

Com­put­ing in its purest form has changed a lot of times. From the early stages of the main­frames where larger and more expen­sive, to smaller and more afford­able per­sonal com­put­ers and servers to a newer, emerg­ing tech­nol­ogy, cloud com­put­ing. It is an emerg­ing research topic widely dis­cussed within the com­mu­nity of dis­trib­uted sys­tems and Grid com­put­ing experts. It promises to vastly change how we use, man­age and imple­ment the com­put­ing sys­tems both in the pub­lic and pri­vate sec­tor. We are accept­ing papers with top­ics but not lim­ited to new appli­ca­tions for clouds, mobile clouds, cloud man­age­ment and con­fig­u­ra­tion, cloud eco­nom­ics, core cloud ser­vices, cloud tech­nolo­gies and vir­tu­al­iza­tion platforms.

In IT Secu­rity, we con­stantly hear infor­ma­tion how hack­ers find new and scary ways to access – and mis­use — priv­i­leged infor­ma­tion for unscrupu­lous or ques­tion­able pur­poses. The con­fer­ence hopes to address these con­cerns as you learn all about actual and impor­tant IT-​Security trends, tech­nolo­gies and solu­tions to get real answers of your ques­tions and prac­ti­cal ben­e­fits to meet today´s and tomorrow’s threats. Pos­si­ble top­ics include, but are not lim­ited to: access con­trol, account­abil­ity, anonymity, authen­ti­ca­tion, crit­i­cal infra­struc­ture secu­rity, data and sys­tem integrity, data­base secu­rity, exe­cutable con­tent, for­mal meth­ods and ver­i­fi­ca­tion, game the­ory and deci­sion the­ory, hard­ware– based secu­rity, humans and com­puter secu­rity, intru­sion detec­tion, language-​based secu­rity, net­work secu­rity, pri­vacy, prove­nance, resource usage con­trol, secu­rity for mobile com­put­ing, secu­rity mod­els, secu­rity pro­to­cols, soft­ware secu­rity, socio-​technical secu­rity, trust man­age­ment, usable secu­rity and web security.

The con­fer­ence seeks sub­mis­sions from acad­e­mia, gov­ern­ment, and indus­try pre­sent­ing novel research on all prac­ti­cal and the­o­ret­i­cal aspects in the field of cloud com­put­ing, big data and IT secu­rity. It pro­vides a key forum for researchers and indus­try prac­ti­tion­ers to exchange infor­ma­tion regard­ing advance­ments in the state of art and prac­tice of these fields in today’s ubiq­ui­tous and vir­tual environment.

On com­plet­ing this work­shop, you will be able to: Eval­u­ate the oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges of dif­fer­ent dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies namely, cloud com­put­ing, big data and ana­lyt­ics, mobile net­works, social media, and the Inter­net of Things in dri­ving transformation

Analyse dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion case stud­ies to explain how an orga­ni­za­tion can:

• Dig­i­tally enhance operations
• Engage bet­ter with their customers
• Cre­ate a dig­i­tal vision
• Gov­ern their dig­i­tal activities

Ideate how an exist­ing orga­ni­za­tion can become dig­i­tal and for­mu­late a dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion strategy
