*CALL FOR PAPERS* ================ 1st International Symposium on Big Data in Cloud and Services Computing Applications (DaSCA) https://www.fedcsis.org/2018/dasca <https://grid.chu.edu.tw/ispan2018/index.php> Held as part of Federated Conference On Computer Science And Information Systems https://fedcsis.org/ Poznań, Poland, , October 16-18, 2018 IMPORTANT DATES ================ Paper submission (*strict deadline*): *May 15 2018 23:59:59 pm HST* Authors notification: *June 24, 2018* Final paper submission and registration: *July 03, 2018* INTRODUCTION ============= Big Data has received increasing attention in recent years, as organizations and cities are dealing with tremendous amounts of data with high complexity and velocity. These data are fast moving and changing in value, meaning and format. They also can originate from various sources, such as social networks, unstructured data from different devices or raw feeds from sensors. It, thus, challenges traditional data management approaches and tools related to performance, integration and analytics. One of the key challenges is how to use Cloud and Services Computing to process Big Data, build effective cloud applications, and provide service-based data analytics. However, there exists particularly limited knowledge on how to apply the Big Data technologies into Cloud and Services Computing applications. Therefore, this Special Session aims to discuss Big Data in Cloud and Services Computing Applications, and particularly focuses on the Big Data research from cloud and service-based perspectives. It also covers many dimensions of big data technologies, including system aspects, algorithmic, privacy and security, computational intelligence and innovative applications. Provision of the above topics presents a new set of emerging issues and challenges that are expected to be identified by the research community. Therefore, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Big Data in Cloud and Services Computing Applications. Therefore, this special session intends to build a foundation for further empirical research to understand Big Data and its implications for Cloud and Services Computing Applications. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on case studies, quantitative methods, design science. In addition, practical oriented research and experience reports are encouraged. SCOPE AND TOPICS ================ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Big Data Analysis and Visualization ● Cloud Computing Platforms, Applications and Management ● Services Computing ● Big Data in Smart Cities ● Networking and Communication Protocols for Cloud and Services Computing ● Reliability in Cloud and Services Computing ● Service Modeling, Specification and Ecosystems ● Big Data and Knowledge Management ● Service-oriented Architecture ● Enterprise Architectures and Services ● Cloud Management Platforms ● Data Mining and Data as a Service ● Hybrid Cloud Computing ● Recommender Distributed Systems ● Cloud and Services Computing Applications Performance and Monitoring ● Big Data Quality Management

Leuven is the capital of the province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest municipality in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in existence. The related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals of Europe. The city is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and one of the five largest consumer-goods companies in the world. The conference venue will be at Park Inn (by Radisson) Hotel (Leuven), which is located right in the heart of the Leuven city. The hotel is less than 2 mins walk from the Leuven train station. All you have to do is to get off the train (or the taxi or the bus) and take the elevator to the bridge connecting the hotel with the rest of the city. Leuven city is directly connected with the Brussels International airport with a 13 min connection via train, 45 mins via bus or a 20 min by taxi (or Uber).

Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of April 13, 2018 (11:59 PM American Samoa time). At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full rate and must guarantee that the paper will be presented. Note that for authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for one paper only. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The final version of the accepted papers must be in the format required of publications in the LNCS series (a Latex source file will be required). A paper submitted to DBSec 2018 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for DBSec 2018. Furthermore, after you submit to DBSec 2018, you must await our response before submitting elsewhere. If you submit your paper to another conference or journal either before/after submission of the paper to DBSec 2018, we will reject your paper without review and will notify the other conference/journal as well. This restriction applies to identical as well as to substantially similar papers.

AlCoB 2018: call for posters*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ********************************************************************************** The 5th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AlCoB 2018) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. AlCoB 2018 will be held in Hong Kong on June 25-26, 2018. See http://grammars.grlmc.com/AlCoB2018/ Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion. TOPICS Presentations displaying novel work in progress on algorithms in computational biology are encouraged on the following topics: - assembling sequence reads into a complete genome, - identifying gene structures in the genome, - recognizing regulatory motifs, - aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes, - reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and - inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species. Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome. KEY DATES Poster submission deadline: May 18, 2018 Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: May 25, 2018 SUBMISSION Please submit a .pdf abstract through: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=alcob2018 It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words.

PUBLICATION Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNBI proceedings volume of AlCoB 2018. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (2016 JCR impact factor: 1.955). REGISTRATION At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference by June 11, 2018. The registration fare is reduced: 285 Euros. It gives the same rights all other conference participants have (attendance, copy of the proceedings volume, lunches, coffee breaks).
