<br>
December 7-10, 2015
<br>
St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
<br>
Co-located with 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility
and Cloud Computing
<br>
=======================================================================================
<br>
<br>
Rapid advances in digital sensors, networks, storage, and
computation along with their availability at low cost is leading
to the creation of huge collections of data -- dubbed as Big Data.
This data has the potential for enabling new insights that can
change the way business, science, and governments deliver services
to their consumers and can impact society as a whole. This has led
to the emergence of the Big Data Computing paradigm focusing on
sensing, collection, storage, management and analysis of data from
variety of sources to enable new value and insights.
<br>
<br>
To realize the full potential of Big Data Computing, we need to
address several challenges and develop suitable conceptual and
technological solutions for dealing them. These include life-cycle
management of data, large-scale storage, flexible processing
infrastructure, data modeling, scalable machine learning and data
analysis algorithms, techniques for sampling and making trade-off
between data processing time and accuracy, and dealing with
privacy and ethical issues involved in data sensing, storage,
processing, and actions.
<br>
<br>
The International Symposium on Big Data Computing (BDC) 2015 --
held in conjunction with 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on
Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) 2015, December 7-10, 2015, St.
Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus, aims at bringing together
international researchers, developers, policy makers, and users
and to provide an international forum to present leading research
activities, technical solutions, and results on a broad range of
topics related to Big Data Computing paradigms, platforms and
their applications. The conference features keynotes, technical
presentations, posters, and workshops.

PAPER SUBMISSION
<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted
manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not
exceed 10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables
and references using the following templates (latex, pdf, doc).
Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure
that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x
11) paper. The official language of the meeting is English. All
manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of
presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference
attendees. Papers conforming to the above guidelines can be
submitted through the BDC 2015 paper submission system (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdc2015">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdc2015</a>).
<br>
<br>
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that
is not currently under review for any other conference or journal.
Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without
review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited
to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the
authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after
the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately
structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the
conference PC Chair for more information.
<br>
<br>
Selected papers from BDC 2015 will be invited to extend and submit
to the Special Issue on Big Data Computing in the IEEE Transaction
on Cloud Computing.
