IEEE Big Data 2018 Call for Papers

2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE Big Data 2018)
http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2018/index.html
December 10-13, 2018, Seattle, WA, 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 2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE Big Data 2018) 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.

We solicit high-quality original research papers (and significant work-in-progress papers) in any aspect of Big Data with emphasis on 5Vs (Volume, Velocity, Variety, Value and Veracity), including the Big Data challenges in scientific and engineering, social, sensor/IoT/IoE, and multimedia (audio, video, image, etc.) big data systems and applications. The conference adopts single-blind review policy. We expect to have a very high quality and exciting technical program at Seattle this year. So far we have 5 leading researchers confirmed as keynote speakers, 9 tutorials and 40 workshops covering all the important and emerging topics of big data research and application. Example topics of interest includes but is not limited to the following:
