International Workshop on Big Web Data (BigWebData2013)
******
The Web Information and System Engineering conference series has established itself as the major annual event for the discussion on the novel challenges related to the efficient data storing and processing. Big data offers a lot of opportunities in terms of the increasing business value, efficiency, and productivity of the data processing platforms, but also introduces a lot of challenges that are related to the amount, heterogeneous structure, and the generating frequency of the data on the Web.
Along with the traditional problems related to the amount and frequency of new data generation, the newly-appearing challenges are related to the heterogeneous nature of data and the impact of data volumes on the value of applications using those data. From the technological perspective, the age of big data presents a variety of challenges in how to store, access, handle, stream, process, and analyze massive amounts of structured and unstructured data effectively. Using high performance computing and cloud infrastructures is essential in dealing with these issues. In the near term, the major issue with the big data oriented applications will be to find new ways to leverage the technology available today to improve the performance and scalability, reduce response time, figure out more efficient ways to deliver services to end-users, and meet the growing demand for virtualized (web and cloud) big data services.
The workshop will serve as a discussion forum on the web-scale data applications, as well as the technologies that enable scaling up the current data processing techniques to the size that is envisioned by the future Web. The workshop will look for applications with challenging requirements to processing and storing frameworks and infrastructures, as well as for the technologies addressing those requirements. Owing to our previous experience of organizing such workshops in collocation with WISE conference, we expect a successful (in terms of participation auditory and quality of presentations) event.
The workshop addresses the current and future challenges related to the development of web-scale data-centric applications. The main topics of interest for the workshop are grouped in four main tracks (web-scale application scenarios, databases and storage technologies, big data analytics integrated solutions, parallelization and scaleup techniques), as follows:
The workshop will take place during the 14th International Conference on Web Information System Engineering (WISE2013), October 13th-15th, Nanjing, China, as a full-day event.
Please note that for every accepted paper at least one of the authors must attend the workshop and must register for the workshop and the main conference. Submission of a paper is not required for attendance at the workshop. However, in the event that the workshop cannot accommodate all who would like to participate, those who have submitted a paper will be given priority.

Title:Linking Entities on the Semantic Web: Approaches and Analysis
Speaker: Dr. Wei Hu (Nanjing University, China)
Abstract: In the Big Data era, ever-increasing RDF data have reached a
scale in billions of entities and brought challenges to the problem of
linking entities on the Semantic Web. This talk will contain two parts of
contents - ontology matching and object coreference resolution - both
aiming at addressing the heterogeneity problem in semantic web data
integration. In each part, I will introduce our approach, the implemented
system and analytical results. Finally, I will conclude the talk with
discussions on some of future challenges in large-scale entity linkage.

Shuangmenlou Hotel, No.185, Huju North Road, Nanjing, China
(南京虎踞北路185号双门楼酒店)
Nanjing Shuangmenlou Hotel is the former address of British Embassy in China. It has a long history dating back to 1916 and covers an area of 30,000 square meters. The hotel has a variety of precious flowers and trees, with green pine trees and maidenhair trees standing firmly and beautiful flowers blossoming all the year round. It is a garden-styled hotel boasting both modern and western architecture as well as nice and peaceful environment. In 1953, it became the appointed foreign-oriented hotel including the reception of many foreign guests, such as West German Chancellor Schmidt, President of Zambia Kaunda, and so on. Now it is affiliated with Foreign Affairs Office of Jiangsu Provincial People's Government. Nanjing Shuangmenlou Hotel, which is located in No.185, Huju North Road, also the intersection of Huju North Road and Zhongshan North Road, has very convenient transportation.
