Special Session 2: Systems and Services with/for Data-Intensive Approach
Topic Description:
The emerging technologies of IoT, BigData, Cloud Computing, and AI enable data-intensive approaches to real-life challenges. In modern software systems and services, the data is extensively used for monitoring, operation, and prediction, achieved by sophisticated algorithms of data processing, context reasoning, and machine learning. This special session aims to bring together researchers, professors and practitioners who are working for such data-intensive approach to implement smart software systems and services. The session welcomes papers related to software systems and services using any data-intensive approach. We also welcome fundamental technologies for achieving the data-intensive approach,
