BACKGROUND

==========

Software systems managing big data have very challenging architectural
requirements, e.g., in terms of performance, flexibility, and reliability.
Big data systems often embody a number of technologies, such as cloud
computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), fog computing, high-performance
computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular machine
learning (ML). These technologies come with their own technical limitations
and constraints that also impact the architecture of big data systems.
Enforcing security, privacy, transparency, and ethics are also concerns of
increasing importance, with potential architectural implications.


OBJECTIVES

==========

The Big Data Value Association (BDVA, http://www.bdva.eu/) initiated the
SACBD workshop series to provide a forum for discussing all aspects of the
software architecture challenges of big data systems. The workshop welcomes
the contributions of practitioners and researchers alike. The workshop is
open to all, both BDVA members and non-members.

Technical issues and challenges related to software architecture are well
covered by the European Big Data Value Strategic Research and Innovation
Agenda (http://www.bdva.eu/SRIA). Such software architecture trends are
facilitating new data-driven operations and services which are at the core
of the new economy revolving around big data value. As organizations become
more and more data-centric, they need to re-design their software
architectures accordingly. For example, data-intensive systems and
applications need to be put in place and properly integrated with
traditional systems (e.g. web applications). This affects not only the
architecture design but also its implementation and non-functional aspects.
For example, performance and data protection are paramount when dealing
with Big Data. This situation creates a need for new methods and tools to
design and reason about software architectures in Big Data scenarios and
paves the way for various research directions. For example, how to design
software architectures when dealing with Big Data? Which are the typical
architectural patterns? How to assess the performance or the privacy risk
of Big Data architectures? The workshop will focus on these and many others
aspects of software architectures in the Big Data era.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

==================

The workshop solicits papers on all aspects of software architecture for
big data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Software architectures in genuine big data scenarios

* Architectural patterns for big data

* Architectures of big data systems (e.g., Spark, Flink, Hadoop)

* Integration of Big Data systems with other business systems

* Non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, privacy,
reliability)

* Combining big data with IoT, HPC, cloud computing, fog computing

* Applying machine learning to big data scenarios, big data integration
with artificial intelligence

* Fostering business with big data and analytics


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

=====================

Original, high-quality papers are solicited, from researchers and
practitioners alike. Both full papers (maximum 8 pages) and short papers
(maximum 4 pages) will be considered. All papers must be written in English
and follow the ACM formatting instructions and templates for conference
papers, as specified under
https://www.acm.org/publications/icps-instructions/. Independently from the
length, several types of papers will be considered (experience reports, new
approaches, review or analysis of existing approaches, empirical studies,
theoretical results, negative results, position papers, vision papers). The
contribution of a paper must be commensurate with its length.

Submitted papers must be original, not submitted and not published
elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the ECSA companion
proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Papers must be submitted in PDF
using the online submission system under the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacbd2019.

All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program
committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance,
technical soundness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the workshop
topics.


FURTHER INFORMATION

===================

SACBD 2019 will be co-located with ECSA 2019, the 13th European Conference
on Software Architecture (https://ecsa2019.univ-lille.fr/). The workshop
will take place on 9-10 September 2019 in Paris, right before the main ECSA
conference.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register, attend the
workshop, and present the work. Registration is subject to the terms,
conditions and procedure of the ECSA 2019 conference.
