As data continues to be produced in massive amounts, with increasing volume, velocity and variety, Big Data projects are growing in frequency and importance. However, the growth in the use of Big Data has outstripped the knowledge of how to support teams that need to do Big Data projects.
In fact, there has been very little written about methodologies, processes and frameworks that could enable teams to more effectively and efficiently “do” big data projects. The situation is much like the early days of software development: software was being developed but organizations had little ability to predict whether a project would be successful, on time or on budget and projects were overly reliant on the heroic efforts of particular individuals.
2016 Workshop
The 2nd international workshop on methodologies and tools to improve Big Data projects will be held in conjunction with IEEE Big Data 2016, in Washington DC, USA on Dec 5 – Dec 8, 2016.
In this workshop, we will explore methodologies, tools and frameworks that have been or need to be developed to help support Big Data projects. Specifically, this workshop will focus on how we can best support effective communication, collaboration and the overall execution of a Big Data team.
The workshop will provide a venue to explore new ideas in possible methodologies as well case studies that describe examples of what has, or has not, worked within different Big Data teams. To enable a cross pollination of ideas, the workshop welcomes both academic researchers and industry experts.
We invite research results and position statements on topics including, but not limited to:
Accepted papers will be published as part of the IEEE Big Data conference proceedings.

We invite research results and position statements on topics including, but not limited to:
- Methodologies (agile, waterfall, other) for teams doing a Big Data project
- Software Engineering / Project Management challenges specific to Big Data projects
- Tools or frameworks to facilitate collaboration within a Big Data project
- How to evaluate the effectiveness of a Big Data team or their methodologies
- How to ensure the quality of the results of a Big Data project
- Frameworks to describe Big Data projects and Big Data project process maturity
- Case studies on related topics of interest to this workshop
Accepted papers will be published as part of the IEEE Big Data conference proceedings.
