[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 13th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (IEEE BigDataSE-19) Rotorua, New Zealand,5-8 August 2019 INTRODUCTION ---------------------------------------- Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). Various technologies have been proposed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and MapReduce. Big data is more than simply a matter of size. It is an opportunity to find insights in new and emerging types of data and content, to make business more agile, and to answer questions that were previously considered beyond our reach. SCOPE ---------------------------------------- The 13th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (IEEE BigDataSE-19) will be held in Rotorua, New Zealand during August 5th - August 8th, 2019. IEEE BigDataSE aims to provide an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and trends in Big Data from both of the academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Systems, models, standards, algorithms and applications for Big Data Big Data mining and analytics Big Data Infrastructure, MapReduce and Cloud Computing Big Data visualization Big Data semantics, scientific discovery and intelligence Security, privacy, trust, and legal issues to big data Large data stream processing and incremental datasets on cloud Distributed and federated datasets NoSQL data stores and DB scalability Big Data placement, scheduling, and optimization Distributed file systems for Big Data MapReduce for Big Data processing, resource scheduling and SLA Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization Simulation and debugging systems and tools for Big Data Storage and computation management of Big Data Large-scale big data workflow management Sensor network and social network for Big Data Edge processing and intelligence for Big Data SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---------------------------------------- Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://edas.info/N25994) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere.

CFP Societal Automation Conference - SAC2019 Krakow, 4-6 September 2019
by Martin Gilje Jaatun 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

Call for Papers Societal Automation - Technological & Architectural Frameworks First international conference - Krakow, 4-6 September 2019 https://sac2019.org/ *Regular and special sessions papers* Submission deadline April 14, 2019 Acceptance notification June 3, 2019 Deadline for final manuscripts June 30, 2019 *Work-in-progress/ Industry practice papers* Submission deadline: May 19, 2019 Acceptance notification: June 16, 2019 Deadline for final manuscripts: July 30, 2019 Background: The 4th Industrial Revolution and emerging Societal Automation initiatives deeply rooted in advances in Electronics, Communication, and Computer Science has been heralded by numerous visionary initiatives sponsored and advanced by industry, private consortia, and governments alike, all over the industrialized world – to mention smart factories, smart grid, smart homes, smart buildings, smart highways, smart transportation systems, urban automation, ... . The household names of the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems provide conceptual and architectural frameworks as well as a technical infrastructure for those initiatives. Societal Automation is a human endeavor to make human-made engineering systems human-centered, safe in their usage and energy efficient, without degrading the surrounding natural environment. Societal Automation is not limited to integration of existing technologies in larger systems such as building automation, smart grid, or urban automation. Actually, some of the most remarkable advances have been achieved in automating personal space/life. Human companion is a good example; not only providing a day-to-day psychological support for elderly, but some with, though, still limited, “abilities” to assist in the body maintenance and feeding infirm. The functional and technical scope of those initiatives is broad. Various application domains intersect at the crossroads of the initiatives. Vision is necessary to carve the image of the initiatives. But insufficient for their realization. At the root of the success in implementing and deploying visions is technology. Technology is a tangible “realization” of solutions, which arise from innovative thinking. Specific technological solutions and devices to be blended within the adopted architectural framework representing developed system need sophisticated software tools underpinned by solid formal methodologies to assist in and guide through the design, validation, testing, deployment, and monitoring phases of the system life-cycle. The challenge laid for the broad automation of human activities and societies is vast, and requires visionary innovative thinking. Requires revolution in innovative thinking and the way we think of innovation. Nothing short of the 4th revolution in innovative thinking: Innovation 4.0. The first in the series conference on Societal Automation will attempt to take a stock of where the area id now; of the expectations and concrete plans of decision makers; of existing technologies and technologies still to be invented to support further and planned developments; of the supporting design & development software tools to make systems eventuate. The most crucial, however, are the expectations of us, individuals without major say in the Societal Automation evolution to ensure the developments serve our interest and do not threaten our privacy, body and psychological integrity, and safety in general. Paper submissions The SAC2019 conference is seeking submissions of up to 8 double-column pages reporting on novel and significant contributions to the field of industrial communication systems. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a pdf version of their papers through the SAC2019 submission system. The submitted material (in English language) must be unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Submissions must include e-mail addresses and fax/phone numbers of the corresponding author. Work-in-Progress (WIP) sessions These sessions are intended for presentation of recent ideas and on-going works up to 4 double-column pages, describing research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper, but that due to its novelty and potential impact deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage. WIP submissions should be prepared according to the same guidelines as regular papers, and should be submitted through their own WIP electronic submission system. Accepted WIP papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Authors of accepted WiP paper will give a 5 minute oral presentation at the WiP sessions, and will also present an A0 poster during the poster sessions.
