The 2018 IEEE International Congress on Big Data (IEEE BigData Congress 2018)
=============================================================================
2018 IEEE World Congress on Services
JULY 2 - 7, 2018, SAN FRANCISCO, USA

Website: http://conferences.computer.org/bigdatacongress/2018/


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.

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
- Big Data Analytics and Metrics

Big Data Architectures
- Cloud Computing Techniques for Big Data
- Big Data as a Service
- Big Data Open Platforms

Big Data Management
- Big Data Persistence and Preservation
- Big Data Quality and Provenance Control
- Big Data Storage and Retrieval

Big Data Security and Privacy
- Big Data System Security and Integrity
- Big Data Information Security
- Privacy-Preserving Big Data Analytics
- Usable Security and Privacy for Big Data

Quality of Big Data Services
- Big Data Service Performance Evaluation
- Big Data Service Reliability and Availability
- Real-Time Big Data Services

Big Data Science and Optimization
- Usage of Big Data Science for Optimization
- Usage of Optimization for Big Data Science
- Big Data Science for Operational Research

Big Data Mining and Visualization
- Algorithms and Systems for Big Data Search
- Distributed, and Peer-to-peer Search
- Machine Learning based on Big Data
- Visualization Analytics for Big Data
- Big Social Media Mining

Enabling Resources for Big Data Research
- Big Data for Enterprise, Government, and Society
- Case Studies of Big Data Value Creation
- Big Data for Science and Engineering Research
- Big Data Sets
- Big Data Application Benchmarks
- Survey of Big Data Research Papers and/or Big Data Sets
