Industrial Applications of Parallel Data Processing --- IAPDP 2012
Special session title: IAPDP 2012, Industrial Applications of Parallel Data Processing
Rationale of the need and objective of the session:
Processing large datasets generated by research and industry represents one of the most important challenges in data mining. The growing volumes of data represent an opportunity for the application of data processing and data mining methods. Although advanced data analysis is the main goal of data mining, even general processing of large volumes of high-dimensional data be extremely time consuming and in conclusion unusable for practical applications.
Parallel processing has been clearly identified as one of the most effective methods for fast solution of complex data-intensive problems. The emergence of inexpensive parallel computers such as commodity desktop multiprocessors, clusters of workstations or PCs, grids, and GPUs has made such parallel methods generally applicable.
Data-intensive applications such as information retrieval, data mining, and data analysis have established a new challenge for the modern generation of parallel platforms. Emerging areas such as computational biology and nanotechnology have implications for algorithms and systems development, while fast changes in architectures and programming models and applications have implications for how parallel platforms can be used to solve practical problems.
The special session seeks contributions about foundations of parallel data processing for industrial use as well as case studies, empirical, and other methodological works related to models, tools, and environments for concurrent analysis of industrial data. It will provide an opportunity to disseminate latest results in this growing field and it will aim to stimulate collaboration between industry and universities. The main topics cover the design and use of various models, algorithms, tools, libraries, and environments for the design and implementation of parallel approaches to data-intensive industrial applications.
