IEEE DataCom 2017 Orlando, Florida, USA, November 6-10, 2017 http://grid.chu.edu.tw/datacom2017 Dear Colleagues: We cordially invite you to share your latest research results related to Big Data, and Cloud Computing at the IEEE DataCopm 2017 conference. The conference proceedings of DataCom 2017 will be published by IEEE CPS and submitted to IEEE Xplore and indexing services such as EI and ISSN. Selected papers will be published in special issues of prestigious international journals. IEEE DataCom 2017 also welcomes works-in-progress paper, industry paper, demo & poster papers. --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------- Big data is a rapidly expanding research area spanning the fields of computer science and information management, and has become a ubiquitous term in understanding and solving complex problems in different disciplinary fields such as engineering, applied mathematics, medicine, computational biology, healthcare, social networks, finance, business, government, education, transportation and telecommunications. The goal of the IEEE International Conference on Big Data Intelligence and Computing (IEEE DataCom 2017) is to establish an international forum for engineers and scientists to present their ideas and experiences in the fields of Big Data intelligence and computing. IEEE DataCom 2017 welcomes paper submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia, industry and government describing original research work in Big Data. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version (with at least 30% new material) for review and publication in special issues of international journals. IEEE DataCom 2017 will be held on November 6-10, 2017 in Orlando, Florida, USA. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - The 5Vs of the data landscape: volume, variety, velocity, veracity, value - Big data science and foundations, analytics, visualization and semantics - Software and tools for big data management. - Security, privacy and legal issues specific to big data - Big data economy, QoS and business models - Scientific discovery and business intelligence - Software, hardware and algorithm co-design, high-performance computing - Large-scale recommendation systems and graph analysis - Infrastructures and systems for big data analytics and managements - Middleware and tools for big data analytics and managements - Algorithmic, experimental, prototyping and implementation - Data quality issues: such as validation, metrics, optimizations and consistency - Data-driven innovation, computational modelling and data integration - Data intensive computing theorems and technologies - Big data for advanced manufacturing and productivity - Modeling, simulation and performance evaluation - Green data centers / environmental-friendly perspectives - Computing, scheduling and resource management for sustainability - Complex applications in areas where massive data is generated ---------------------------------------- PUBLICATION HIGHLIGHTS ---------------------------------------- IEEE CS proceedings, indexed by - IEEE Xplore - Scopus - EI Engineering Index - ACM Digital Library - dblp - Google Scholar Extended version of the selected papers will be invited for publication in prestigious international journals. ---------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Research Track: Paper Submission - July 27, 2017 Author Notification - August 27, 2017 Poster/Demo/Special Session: Paper Submission - August 31, 2017 Author Notification - September 6, 2017 Camera ready / registration: September 17, 2017 —----------------- SUBMISSION —----------------- Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been submitted or published in any other venue. Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS format and submitted via the IEEE DataCom 2017 web site, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeedatacom2017 IEEE formatting information: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html - Proposals for organizing tutorials, workshops and special sessions need to be submitted to the Tutorials, Workshops and Special Sessions Chairs, respectively. A proposal should include title, theme, scope and main presenters/organizers. - Research paper (8 pages) should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results. - Works-in-Progess (WIP) (6 pages) papers are expected to present either work currently in progress or less developed but highly innovative ideas. - Demo/Poster papers (4 pages) must describe working systems and be related to DataCom. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use related technology. Papers/proposals need to be submitted to the Demo/Poster Chair. - Workshop and Special Session papers need to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions. All accepted papers in the main tracks, workshops, special sessions and demos/posters will be published in an IEEE Computer Society proceedings (EI indexed). Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for publication in special issues of prestige journals (SCI/EI indexed). ------------------------------- Organizing Committees ------------------------------- General Chairs Sanjay Ranka, University of Florida, USA Hai Jin, HUST, China Manu Malek, Stevens Inst. of Tech., USA General Executive Chairs Jun Wang, University of Central Florida, USA Tao Li, NSF/UFL, USA Program Chairs Anna Kobusinska, Poznan University of Technology, Poland Xiaolin Li, University of Florida, USA Wenguang Chen, Tsinghua University, China Workshop Chairs I-Hsin Chung, IBM Thomas J.

You are included in this mailing list based on your participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event. The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them appropriately. Some options include: 1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them to less-frequently-read folders in your email client. 2. Change your subscription to a digest option (https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce) which will consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email. If you do not remember your password (which is needed to change these options), you can reset it using the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button at the bottom of the page. 3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce, you can unsubscribe from the mailing list (https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce). Once unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov to be added back on. If you need help with any of the above, please email us at hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov. ********************************************************************************
