DICC4SD Workshop Objectives and Scope

The recent advancements in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) such as 5G, Internet of Things, Cloud and Crowd Computing as well as the rapid growth of the Internet and World Wide Web led to vast amounts of information available anywhere. In addition, business and government organizations create large amounts of both structured and unstructured information which needs to be collected, transmitted, processed, analyzed, and networked. The storing, managing, transmitting, accessing, processing and networking of these vast amount of data represent fundamental research challenge in order to satisfy needs to search, acquire, transmit, analyze, mine, and visualize this data as information. The new research disciplines of data-intensive computing and communications (DICC) are intended to address these challenges. This workshop dedicates itself to explore the role and impact of the DICC for making our world more sustainability developing: creating research and development, and also innovation for economic growth, reducing energy and material resources consumption, increasing quality of life for ever more people without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs.
