In recent times data generation at the scale of terabytes, petabytes and exabytes have become commonplace in many scientific and commercial domains. Streaming data, social media content, electronic medical records, astronomy surveys, genomic and proteomic studies and similar areas generate data at a scale that is becoming increasingly difficult to manage using traditional database technologies. Big Data is an umbrella term used for such massive collections of data.
 
Besides volume, analytics has to face challenges like heterogeneity, timeliness, and complexity, velocity and privacy issues. The other challenge is to fuse data sources - of same type or multi-modal and perform joint analytics on the integrated data. The scale of such data poses significant challenges for analytics, going beyond what can be supported by conventional data, storage and retrieval models. The International Conference on Big Data Analytics (BDA) is set in this backdrop.
 
Prof. P Krishna Reddy from IIIT Hyderabad was the Steering Committee Chair of the conference.
