Big Data" has the characteristics of huge volume in data and a great variety of structures or no structure. "Big Data" is increased at a great velocity everyday and may be less trustable. The use of big data underpins critical activities in all sectors of our society. Many data processing tasks (such as data collection, data integration, data sharing, information extraction, and knowledge acquisition) require various forms of data preparation and consolidation with complex data processing and analysis techniques. Achieving the full transformative potential of "Big Data" requires both new data analysis algorithms and a new class of systems to handle the dramatic data growth, the demand to integrate structured and unstructured data analytics, and the increasing computing needs of massive scale analytics. The consensus is that the quality of data and the veracity of data have to span over the entire process of data collection, preparation, analysis, modelling, implementation, use, testing, and maintenance, including novel algorithms and usable systems. Topics of Interest.
The QUAT workshop is a qualified forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas and solutions related to the problems of exploring, assessing, monitoring, improving, and maintaining the quality of data and trust for "Big Data". It is to provide the researchers in the areas of web technology, e-services, social networking, big data, data processing, trust, and information systems and GIS a forum to discuss and exchange their recent research findings and achievements. The workshop is expected to have two types of papers – regular ones (12 pages) and short ones (6 pages), in order to attract the most up-to-date research results and research in progresses. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following
