The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications
and Technologies (BDCAT) is an annual international conference. The first
two events were held in London (BDC 2014) and Cyprus (BDC 2015)
respectively. In 2016, the conference has been expanded to explicitly
include applications and renamed as BDCAT 2016. The conference aims to
provide a platform for researchers to present their new discoveries,
developments, results, as well as the latest trends in big data computing,
technologies and applications.

BDCAT 2016 will be held in conjunction with the 9th IEEE/ACM International
Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2016) at Tongji University,
Shanghai, China.

Paper Submission
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
BDCAT 2016 paper submission system (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdsea2016).

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not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.

Selected papers from BDCAT 2016 will be invited to extend and submit to the
Special Issue on Big Data Computing in the IEEE Transaction on Cloud
Computing, IEEE Transaction on Big Data and other leading journals.
