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
