Message from the Demonstration Track 2014 Chairs

Big data has been around a long time,´ said Byron Banks, VP of big data for SAP. ´Now with social media, the Internet of Things, sensor data, mobile devices -- new big data has transformed the business.´ While in industry a new generation of products and services dealing with big data arise, it has also raised many fundamental research challenges and open issues in the context of BPM and existing IT landscapes. The IEEE EDOC -- the Enterprise Computing Conference -- is a key forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry to discuss and share the success and achievements in this vibrant and rapidly expanding area.
