Call for Papers: Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence Conference in London

Are you interested in speaking at the Data Warehouse & Business Intelligence European Conference in London coming November? If you are, please fill in the call for papers.

Previous editions were very successful and attracted more than 200 delegates. Evaluations showed that the attendees were very pleased with the selected speakers, the topics, and setup of the conference.

The 2011 edition is aimed at all aspects of data warehousing and business intelligence, including: trends, design guidelines, product overviews and comparisons, best practices, and new evolving technologies. And like the previous years, the conference is organized together with the highly successful European Data Management and Information Quality Conference.

With this year's call for presentations we are trying to attract proposals for sessions on traditional and future data warehousing and business intelligence aspects. Delegates have expressed a preference for the use of case studies rather than theoretical or abstract topics. We would particularly like practitioners in the field to respond to this call for papers. We encourage new speakers to apply. Success stories - case studies where data warehousing and business intelligence have produced real bottom-line benefits are very much appreciated.

Example topics for proposals are:

  • Business and data analytics
  • BI in the cloud
  • Data modelling for data warehouses
  • The maturity of analytical database servers
  • Star schema, snowflake and data vault models
  • Selling business intelligence to the business
  • Big data analytics
  • The relationship between master data management and data warehousing
  • Guidelines for using ETL tools
  • Data virtualization and data federation
  • The BI mashup
  • The need for Master Data Management in a data warehouse environment
  • BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) and KPI (Key Performance Indicators)
  • New database technology for implementing data warehouses, such as
    • Business intelligence as ROI for the data warehouse
    • Who needs real-time data warehouses?
    • Business Optimization through BPEL, BAM and SOA
  • BI scorecarding
  • Customer analytics and insight
  • Text mining and text analytics
  • Open source BI
  • Corporate Performance Management
  • NoSQL in a data warehouse environment

Looking forward to your proposal, and hope to see you in London coming November.
