VisBIA 2018: workshop on Visual Interfaces for Big Data Environments in Industrial Applications

Industrial applications can benefit considerably from the overwhelming amount of still growing resources such as websites, images, texts, and videos that the internet offers today. The resulting Big Data Problem does not only consist of handling this immense volume of data. Moreover, data needs to be processed, cleaned, and presented in a user-friendly, intuitive, and interactive way. This workshop addresses visualization and user interaction challenges posed by the four V's: Volume (huge data amounts in the range of tera and petabytes), Velocity (the speed in which data is created, processed, and analysed), Variety (the different heterogeneous data types, sources, and formats), and Veracity (authenticity and validity of data). Big Data driven interfaces combine suitable backend and frontend technologies as well as automatic and semi-automatic approaches in order to analyze data in various business contexts. An important aspect is human intervention in developing and training data-driven applications (human in the loop). Our focus is on Visual Big Data Interfaces in industrial contexts such as e-commerce, e-learning and business intelligence. We address interfaces for three important user groups: data scientists, data workers and end users.
