BDA 2025: Call for Workshop Proposals

Thirteenth International Conference on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence,

July 17-20, 2025 (BDA2025)

The International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore

https://www.iiitb.ac.in/   (https://bda2025.iiitb.net/)


The BDA 2025 Organizing Committee invites proposals for half-day and
full-day workshops on established and emerging topics in the areas of Big
Data and AI. The goal of BDA 2025 workshops is to provide a forum for
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry in the related
domains to share novel ideas, research challenges and issues, and
innovative next-generation applications in any topic related to Big Data
and AI with the intent of stimulating interesting research in this area.

Proposals can be in any established or emerging domain related to Big Data
and AI related areas. Proposals are welcome in interdisciplinary areas such
as Big Data or Data Science problems and research challenges &
opportunities in domains including (but not limited to) agriculture,
education, open distance learning, transportation, smart cities, skills
development, climate change, bioinformatics, environmental management,
finance and healthcare. Submit workshop proposals on areas closely
overlapping with the main theme of Big Data (Cloud computing, Fog/Edge
computing, etc.), Data Science, and AI (Edge AI, Generative AI, Agentic AI,
etc.).

In addition to *half-day and full-day workshops, we also invite proposals
for special sessions of 1.5 hour duration*. The aim is to bring together
people interested in specific themes, discuss and plan the next steps
(collaboration, funding opportunities, etc.). These sessions are not for
paper presentations and invited talks. Toward the end of the session, the
session organizers (or subgroups) should summarize the discussion and
present the next steps (plan of action) to the participants. We encourage
submission of niche topics such as agentic AI, responsible AI, generative
AI, etc. A short summary of each sessions' discussion will be added to the
proceedings.

The conference will provide all the necessary facilities for organizing the
workshops and special sessions, such as presentation rooms. Workshop chairs
will autonomously organize the workshops, including the workshop program
committee selection, review processes and paper acceptance/rejection and
publication. Subject to the quality of the accepted papers and reviewers
comments, the organizing committee aims to append a few of the good
accepted papers to the main proceedings under the heading of Workshop <Name
of the Workshop >.

Workshop and special session proposals should be of a maximum of three
pages and contain the following information: Title of the workshop/special
session, Objectives and Scope, Target audience and expected number of
attendees, Names, email addresses and webpages of the prospective workshop
organizers, a list of Program Committee members (tentative; only for
workshop proposals), a preliminary workshop format (either half-day or
full-day), and mechanisms to keep the audience engaged. In addition, for a
special session, please list the possible points that could be discussed
during the session.

Workshop proposals should be submitted via CMT at
