CALL FOR PAPERS - Future Generation Computer Systems Journal Special Issue

Big Data Computing Service and Machine Learning Applications

********************************************
MOTIVATION AND SCOPE

A huge amount of data is generated daily by sensors, devices, and services that are an integral part of our lives. A significant change in the infrastructure supporting big data collection and usage has been observed in recent years, moving from centralized cloud infrastructures towards heterogeneous distributed systems comprising cloud, edge, and IoT devices, to move computations closer to the data source. As computing systems become increasingly larger, more complex, distributed, and integrated, Big Data technologies and services are ever more vital. New regulations and renewed sensitivity to issues related to privacy, security, energy efficiency, data quality, and trust are also posing new challenges. New ways to collect, store, manage, analyze, and protect big data are needed.

The Special Issue will welcome innovative approaches covering these aspects. The call will be open to all researchers working on the described topics.

The community addressing big data computing service and machine learning applications gathered in person at the IEEE BDS 2023 conference. This SI wants to move beyond that in-person meeting and reach out to more scientists in the domain.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning

-Integrated, Heterogeneous, and Distributed Infrastructures for Big Data management

-Big Data Platforms and Technologies

-Real-time Big Data Services and Applications

-Big Data Security and Privacy Preservation

-Big Data Quality and Trust

-Trustworthy data sharing

-Sustainability and Energy-Efficiency of Big Data Storage and Computation

-Big Data and Analytics for Healthcare

-Big Data Applications and Experiences

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The FGCS’s submission system (https://www.editorialmanager.com/FGCS/default.aspx) will be open for submissions to our Special Issue from June 15, 2023. When submitting your manuscript please select the article type VSI: BDS_SI.

All submissions deemed suitable by the editors to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Once your manuscript is accepted, it will go into production to be published in the special issue.

GUIDE FOR AUTHORS: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/future-generation-computer-systems/0167-739X/guide-for-authors

* Please use Elsevier's Latex Style with "5p, times" option. So your document should start with \documentclass[5p,times]{elsarticle}
* You are recommended to use the Elsevier article class elsarticle.cls (https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/elsarticle) to prepare your manuscript and BibTeX (http://www.bibtex.org/) to generate your bibliography.
* Our LaTeX  (https://www.elsevier.com/latex) site has detailed submission instructions, templates and other information.
* Article submitted to FGCS should be strictly double column, single spaced and limited to 18 pages; including all figures, tables, references.
* A manuscript longer than 18 pages will not be considered for review and returned to author to be revised to the correct format.
