The organizers are looking forward to welcoming international attendees – IT professionals, consultants and managers from organizations seeking information about the latest cloud and big data developments. Researchers in these two areas are encouraged to submit research papers, which will be presented to attendees during the conference proceedings.
Papers will be selected by the ISC Cloud & Big Data Research Paper Committee, which is chaired by Professor Wolfgang Nagel of TU Dresden, Germany. The committee encourages the submission of high-quality papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental, and industrial research and development in the following areas:
Cloud Computing
 Novelties in cloud infrastructures, architectures, and models
 Cloud reliability
 Private and public clouds
 Federation of infrastructures, interoperability techniques in heterogeneous cloud environments
 Security and privacy in the cloud
 Cloud management
 HPC in the cloud
 Big data in the cloud
 Novel cloud programming models
 Cloud applications and services (SaaS)
Big Data
 Algorithms, models, and systems
 Big data architectures and infrastructure
 Data quality and integration
 Data management and data life cycle
 Data mining, information retrieval, and knowledge extraction
 Security and privacy for big data
 Big data analytics (visual, text, statistical, but also threat detection)
 Social media and mobile communication
 Big data and smart data applications in science and industry
 Future trends
 Please take note that all paper abstracts need to be submitted by Tuesday, May 5. The exact submission details are available at http://www.isc-cloudbigdata.com/research-papers.html.
The research track will comprise of several research paper sessions that are based on the call for papers. The conference kicks off with various workshops on Monday, September 28, and the research paper sessions will be held Tuesday and Wednesday.
Other Opportunities
The organizers welcome ideas for workshop in the cloud computing and big data areas. Please contact Josiah Tabor to find out how you can host a workshop.
This year’s conference offers a unique program consisting of business, technology and research tracks. The business track will present diverse case studies focusing on cloud and big data implementations, designed for the industry. It will also demonstrate how emerging technologies can be beneficial to different organizations, whereas the technology track will cover data analytics, hardware infrastructures, tools, and other cloud and big data technologies. The track will be useful for those selecting and deploying cloud and big data infrastructure.
If you are interested in promoting your brand, via product demonstrations and technology discussions, consider exhibiting at this conference. Our customer relations manager, Anna Schachoff will be able to provide you with all the details.
