IEEE/ACM BDCAT 2017 – Call for Papers

IEEE/ACM BDCAT 2017 – Call for Papers
The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies
(BDCAT) is an annual conference series aiming to provide a platform for researchers from both
academia and industry to present new discoveries in the broad area of big data computing and
applications. The first 3 events were held in London, Cyprus, and Shanghai. BDCAT 2017 will be
held in conjunction with the 10th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud
Computing (UCC 2017) in Austin, Texas, USA.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts on a broad range of topics
related to big data science, computing paradigms, platforms and applications.
