2nd International Workshop on Cross‐Domain Data Analysis and Computation for Digital Ecosystems (InC2Eco'20)

Sofia, Bulgaria, 6 - 9 September, 2020

Committee

The progress in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) builds a strong basis to realize cross‐domain data computation approaches. However, the data flow, coming from local sensors up to satellite remote sensing, business processes, enquiries, social networks and other manifold sources is extremely complex and dynamic. Therefore, sufficient data conditioning as well as analysis methods and corresponding ICT infrastructures are crucial for the extraction and handling of the information embedded in the data. Especially the development and implementation of efficient workflows for the integration of heterogeneous data types across various stakeholders presents a big challenge in the development of data‐driven smart services. New paradigms are needed for empowering science, society and business to understand and design the interaction of systems and processes on different spatial and temporal scales. The idea of the workshop enables an interdisciplinary discussion of challenges and potential solutions in the new world of cross‐domain data integration and information extraction (e.g. energy, health, environment, economy). We invite contributions presenting challenges, solutions, cases studies, and best practices dealing with ecosystem management, big data and workflow modeling. Competencies from the field of information systems, data science, environmental science, computer science, mathematics, medicine, energy and business are required to develop new promising ideas that contribute to the investigation and extraction of information from cross‐domain data.

This special session is a joint event of WIG2, the Scientific Institute for Health Economics and Health Services Research, the Institute for Information Systems of the University of Leipzig and the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research - UFZ.
