Distributed Storage and Blockchain Technologies for Big Data

10th International Workshop on Distributed Storage and Blockchain Technologies for Big Data

in conjunction with

2022 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2022)

Introduction to Workshop

In recent years, data storage has emerged as an important research field driven by the demand for scalable structures and technologies to satisfy the growing needs of massive data management and processing. Big Data challenges storage systems with more capacity, scalability and accessibility. Dispersing a huge data object in a large-scale distributed storage system is necessary to enhance data reliability and availability. By introducing redundancy in the system, we can protect data integrity from node failures. In addition, as an emerging distributed technology, blockchain is often considered to be used in distributed storage systems to ensure the non-tampering of data. However, there still remains substantial research work for advancing distributed storage coding and blockchain technologies in both theory and applications.

This workshop will provide an excellent platform for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to exchange ideas and experiences that distributed storage systems can offer to Big Data applications, and to understand the challenges that we need tackle to realize the full potential.
