The IEEE 2018 7th International Congress on Big Data (BigData Congress 2018)

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC), IEEE Computer Society

The BigData Congress 2018 organizing committee invites you to contribute to the BigData Congress, created and owned by IEEE since 2013, to be held on July 2 - 7, 2018, San Francisco, USA.

The 2018 IEEE International Congress on Big Data (IEEE BigData Congress 2018) aims to provide an international forum for both researchers and engineers in academia and industry to present their latest research findings and practice on major and emerging topics in Big Data (see history).

The technical program of IEEE BigData Congress 2018 will consist of a set of regular tracks and a work-in-progress track. The regular tracks are similar to previous IEEE BigData Congress submission tracks. The regular research track will emphasize both theoretical and experimental research contributions. The work-in-progress paper track will consider concise papers for timely dissemination of new ideas and exploratory results.

We also define the technical scope of big data research broadly from the 5V perspective. In addition to the traditional definition of big volume and high velocity, we also encourage submissions that describe techniques and tools for handling big variety and high veracity.

Technical topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Big Data Models and Algorithms

  • Foundational Models for Big Data
  • Algorithms and Programming Techniques for Big Data Processing

IEEE Policy

Review Policy

IEEE Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice.

Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript.
