Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to share your latest research results related to big data analytics and intelligence at the IEEE DataCom 2019 conference.  

---------------------------
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 2019) 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 2019 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 2019 will be held on Nov. 18-21, 2019, co-located with IEEE SC2 2019, IEEE SOCA 2019 and IOV 2019, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. 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 
-	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

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 EasyChair system.

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 Workshops Chair of the conference. 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 Chairs. 

All accepted papers in the main tracks, workshops, special sessions and demos/posters will be published in an IEEE Computer Society proceedings. Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for publication in special issues of prestige journals (SCI/EI indexed).
