Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. All big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 5 keynote lectures and 23 six-hour courses, which will tackle the most lively and promising topics. The organizers believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. ADDRESSED TO: Graduate and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may be required for some of them. BigDat 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.

Re: [SIPTA] FW: International Conference on Risk Analysis of MeteorologicalDisasters
by Kreinovich 24 May '14

24 May '14

FYI, different techniques for gauging risk under uncertainty are welcome for these problems, imprecise probability techniques in particular. ***************************************************** From: Guo Wei [mailto:guo.wei(a)uncp.edu] CALL FOR PAPERS International Conference on Risk Analysis of Meteorological Disasters (RAMD'14) October 12-13, 2014, Nanjing, China http://ramd2014.nuist.edu.cn/dct/page/70033 About the Conference Since the industrial revolution in the mid-18th century, global climate has been undergoing significant changes with global warming as the main feature. Entering the 21st century, the trend of global warming is increasing (IPCC, 2013). As the climate gets warmer, various kinds of weather disasters gradually increase and result in more and more severe loss and impacts. According to the statistics of the International Committee for Disaster Reduction, meteorological disasters account for 75%-80% of all natural disasters, and the loss caused by meteorological disasters in the global world accounts for about 3%-6% of the world GDP in total. How to deal with the significant risk of meteorological disasters has become a major challenge faced by the international community today. Before the idea of meteorological disaster risk management appeared, mankind mainly defended to meteorological disasters passively. Then people started to set up the philosophy of active management to meteorological disasters and entered the stage of meteorological disasters risk management. Researches on meteorological disaster risk started since the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) programme initiated by the UN in 1989. Its focus was to explore the mechanisms and measures to reduce the loss and the impact of a variety of natural and environmental disasters on human economy, society, resources and environment; to reveal the mechanism of the formation of disasters by evaluating the danger of hazards factors, the stability of the environment and the vulnerability of the hazard bearing body, etc., and to identify the driving forces of the disasters. In 2003, the first World Conference on Risk Analysis hosted by the International Society of Risk Analysis (SRA) emphasized the important change of disaster studies from disaster analysis to disaster risk analysis and disaster risk management, etc. Since then, the concept of risk entered into the field of meteorology, and the focus of research on meteorological disasters also shifted from meteorological disaster defence to meteorological disasters risk management. Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology is one of China's key universities with meteorology as the main discipline. The discipline of "Atmospheric Sciences" ranked first in the academic ranking organized by the Chinese Ministry of Education in 2013. The university has more than 1,500 full-time faculties including the Academician of Chinese Academy of Science, Professor Shi Guangyu. In recent years, one of the main directions of the university discipline development is "meteorological disaster forecasting, warning and assessment." In order to better make use of the advantages in terms of the university discipline, personnel, facilities and other conditions, to promote academic exchange and cooperation among researchers around the world in meteorological disaster risk management, the university intends to hold an International Conference on Risk Management of Meteorological Disasters in Nanjing on October 12-13. Organizers Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology Conference Time and Venue Conference Time: October 12-13 Conference Venue: Nanjing, China Scope: RAMD'14 is soliciting papers for the following (but not limited to) topics: Theme I: Meteorological Disasters and Financial Risk Management Theme II: Meteorological Disaster Assessment and Disaster Prevention and Reduction Strategies Theme III: Dynamic Analysis, Impact Assessment and Strategies for Drought/Flood Risk Theme IV: Major Meteorological Disaster Emergency Response and Risk Management Paper Submission All papers must be unpublished and should not be under simultaneous review for any other conferences and workshops. Paper format please refer to the relevant requirements of Information Science. All papers should be submitted electronically via E-mail:2014RAMD(a)gmail.com. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the RAMD'14 program committee and selected reviewers.

[SIPTA] IPSP14: Call for Participation
by Marco Cattaneo 22 May '14

22 May '14

**************************************************** IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES IN STATISTICS AND PHILOSOPHY LMU Munich 27-28 June 2014 www.ipsp2014.philosophie.lmu.de **************************************************** The SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM is now online: www.ipsp2014.philosophie.lmu.de/program Imprecise probabilities offer a model of uncertainty that is more general, less idealised than the standard precise probability framework. Imprecise probabilities are receiving increasing attention in statistics (as well as in artificial intelligence and in economics). Recently, there has been a resurgence of philosophical interest in these generalised models of uncertainty. The aim of this workshop is to bring together philosophers and statisticians to see what we can learn from each other. We are sure that such interdisciplinary collaboration will be valuable both to philosophers and to statisticians. Topics on which we might expect fruitful discussions include: * updating imprecise probabilities and dilation; * foundations of imprecise probabilities; * procedures for eliciting imprecise probabilities; * decision making with imprecise probabilities. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Fabio Cozman (São Paulo), James M. Joyce (Michigan), and Teddy Seidenfeld (CMU) ORGANIZERS: Thomas Augustin, Seamus Bradley, Marco Cattaneo, Stephan Hartmann, and Roland Poellinger -- Marco Cattaneo, Dr. sc. math.
