BDCAT4WM 2023
Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies for Waste Management
Held in conjunction with BDCAT 2023 Conference

DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------
Waste management represents a significant global challenge as the huge volume of waste generated by human activities has reached alarming levels, endangering the well-being of present and future generations. Within the food industry, the issue of food waste presents a substantial problem even before it reaches consumers' refrigerators. About a third, a staggering 1.3 billion tons, of food is lost or wasted every year from farm to refrigerator. In developing countries, waste collection and disposal can be exceptionally difficult due to the lack of adequate infrastructure, with serious social and environmental consequences. The accumulation of waste in landfills leads to air and water pollution. Furthermore, the escalation of the global climate crisis has increased the importance of sustainability and recycling practices, which are now widely recognized and embraced by the waste management industry. Waste management using the right technology, coupled with smart AI algorithms that pr
ovide an in-depth analysis of collected data can ensure business optimization in the waste management processes. One of the main benefits of waste management is a better understanding of patterns of waste production and consumption. With this data, it is possible to help businesses prevent huge amounts of waste generation by identifying and weighing the amount of food waste, developing more efficient plans for managing waste and providing developing countries with access to better planning and disposal strategies. Analyzing when and where people are throwing away trash helps in fixing disposal strategies, optimizing pick-up schedules for waste management trucks as well as identifying areas where waste can be reduced. AI-based solutions can also be used to predict future trash production levels and plan accordingly as well as provide facilities for sorting different types of waste and ensuring composition information data in order to help companies to increase their recycling rates i
n waste management.
Bottom line, Waste Management is an area where Big Data Computing, Applications, and Technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence can make a significant impact.
The workshop provides a venue for the community to promote collaborations and present and exchange ideas, practices and advances specific to Big Data Computing, Applications, and Technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence use in the particularly challenging area of waste management. The goal is to bring people in the field of cross-cutting information management and technologies to discuss innovative data management and analytics technologies highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and methods to address problems in the domain of interest. The workshop solicits empirical, experimental, methodological, and theoretical research reporting original and unpublished results on topics in the realm of waste management along with applications to real-life situations.
