SCOPE

IMCW2015: The "6th International Symposium on Information Management in a Changing World" will take placein Guangzhou,China from November 25-27,2015 (http://imcw2015.bilgiyonetimi.net/).It is organized by the Department of Information Management of Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey, and the School of Information Management of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China.

Data deluge is upon us. Some two exabytes of data get created daily. Google alone processes 24 petabyte of data every day. The amount of data is doubling every three years and 90% of all the data were produced in the last two years. The proliferation of available data in different formats such as text, sound and videochanges the way we live, work and carry out research. While Science was based on empirical, theoretical and computational models in the past, it currently relies increasingly on data exploration (eScience). Called the Fourth Paradigm, the data-intensive scientific discovery makes information management all the more important in the Big Data Era in order to cary out leading research and make the world a better place to live.

MAIN THEME

“Information Management in the Big Data Era: For a Better World” being the main theme of the Symposium, IMCW2015 aims to bring together information professionals, data librarians, archivists computer and information scientists, business people and engineers to discuss the implications of Big Data on information management and to contemplate on establishing a sound data infrastructure and finding innovative ways to mine, process, organize and provide access to large amounts of data. As organizers, we thought this is an opportune time for IMCW2015 to review the challenges for information organizations, libraries, archives and museums providing data and information services in the digital age.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical. Informative case studies are also welcome. The audience will be information professionals, data librarians, data curators, data managers, researchers, information scientists and computer engineers, among others.
