The 8th International Conference on Cooperation and Promotion of Information Resources in Science and Technology (COINFO 2013) is organized by China’s national research agency, the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China (ISTIC), in collaboration with Wuhan University and renowned colleges and universities from around the world.
The COINFO 2013 theme is Sharing of Information Resources in the Era of Big Data. Along with the fast development of Internet and Internet of Things (IOT), Big Data technologies are already operating behind the scene delivering benefit to many organisations through massive power for data analysis. The impacts are still unknown, but the capacity to analyse trends including individual consumer behaviour are both exciting and daunting. It will be critical to identify and manage issues so that we can enjoy the many benefits of Big Data; issues to be explored include:
● The challenge to management in the era of Big Data
● Automated decision-making – is there more or less potential for another global financial melt-down driven by decision-making software
● Social impacts – privacy/security
● How to release results of data analysis that might have impacts on individuals and groups
● How to successfully adopt and how to equip managers to realize the benefits of Big Data
Now in its 8th year COINFO is one of the most influential forums in China and attracts senior officials and industry leaders as well as experts from Germany, UK, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Sweden, USA and China. It has now become a high-end international platform for academic exchanges in information sharing. We invite researchers and management scientists to submit quality research and discussion papers and attend this important and influential event.
