IEEE Big Data 2016 Call for Papers

2016 IEEE International Confernece on Big Data(Big Data 2016)
http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2016/
December 5-8, 2016, Washington DC, USA

In recent years, "Big Data" has become a new ubiquitous term. Big Data is transforming science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance, business, and ultimately our society itself. The IEEE Big Data conference series started in 2013 has established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data.

  • The first conference IEEE Big Data 2013 had more than 400 registered participants from 40 countries.
    (Big Data 2013 The regular paper acceptance rate: 17.0%)
  • The IEEE Big Data 2015 had more than 780 registered participants from 49 countries.
    ( Big Data 2015 The regular paper acceptance rate: 16.8%)

The 2016 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE Big Data 2016) will continue the success of the previous IEEE Big Data conferences. It will provide a leading forum for disseminating the latest results in Big Data Research, Development, and Applications.
