Scope and Topics
Introduction
Big data is an
emerging paradigm applied to
datasets whose size is beyond the
ability of commonly used software
tools to capture, manage, and
process the data within a tolerable
elapsed time. Such datasets are
often from various sources (Variety)
yet unstructured such as social
media, sensors, scientific
applications, surveillance, video
and image archives, Internet texts
and documents, Internet search
indexing, medical records, business
transactions and web logs; and are
of large size (Volume) with fast
data in/out (Velocity). More
importantly, big data has to be of
high value (Value) and establish
trust in it for business decision
making (Veracity).
Cloud computing
is positioning itself as an emerging
platform for delivering information
infrastructures and resources as IT
services. Customers (enterprises or
individuals) can provision and
deploy Cloud services via
pay-as-you-go pricing models saving
huge capital investments in their
own IT infrastructures.
As estimated by IDC, by 2020, about
40% data globally would be touched
with Cloud Computing. Cloud
Computing provides strong storage,
computation and distributed
capability in support of Big Data
processing.
BDCloud (Big
Data and Cloud Computing) was
created to provide a prime
international forum for researchers,
industry practitioners and domain
experts to exchange the latest
advances in Big
Data and Cloud Computing as
well as their synergy.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an
abstract, keywords, the e-mail
address of the corresponding author
and should not exceed 8 pages for
main conference, including tables
and figures in IEEE CS format. The
template files for LATEX or WORD can
be downloaded
here. All paper submissions must
represent original and unpublished
work. Each submission will be peer
reviewed by at least three program
committee members. Submission of a
paper should be regarded as an
undertaking that, should the paper
be accepted, at least one of the
authors will register for the
conference and present the work.
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at
the submission site:
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdcloud2014/submission.htm.
Publications
Accepted and presented papers will
be included into the IEEE Conference
Proceedings published by IEEE CS
Press. Authors of accepted papers,
or at least one of them, are
requested to register and present
their work at the conference,
otherwise their papers may be
removed from the digital libraries
of IEEE CS after
the conference.
Distinguished papers presented at
the conference, after further
revision, will be published in
special issues of Concurrency and
Computation: Practice and
Experience,
Journal of Network and Computer
Applications, Journal of
Computer and System Sciences
and IEEE Transactions on Cloud
Computing.
