6th IEEE Intl. Conf. on Big Data Computing Services and Machine Learning Applications (BigDataService 2020)
13-16 April 2020, Keble College, Oxford UK

CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------------------

BigDataService seeks to include work from a wide range of technologies and domains – including (but not limited to) smart systems (e.g. cities, automobiles, farms), cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things applications, healthcare, and social networks and media. Technological aspects of the event include service-oriented technologies, machine learning, predictive analytics, data modelling, system architectures, data mining, and simulation.

The main conference will be co-located with IEEE SOSE 2020, IEEE MobileCloud 2020 and IEEE DAPPS 2020, and IEEE AITest 2020, and will consist of main tracks and special tracks.





The conference seeks the submission of high-quality full papers limited to up to 8 pages (IEEE format) in length. The submission of short, demo or industry papers limited to up to 4 pages (IEEE format) is possible, for works that make significant contributions, but are still in progress, or works of smaller scale that can be reported briefly.

The deadline for paper submission is on October 20th 2019. All accepted papers will be included in the IEEE proceedings. Selected papers will be invited for extension and published in journals (SCI- Index). The conference also welcomes workshop proposals – with a deadline of December 1st 2019.
