IEEE BigComp 2019 Call for Workshop Proposals

The 6th International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (BigComp 2019)
http://www.bigcomputing.org/
February 27-March 2, 2019, Kyoto, Japan

2019 IEEE International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing is
to provide an international forum for exchanging ideas and information on
current studies, challenges, research results, system developments, and
practical experiences in these emerging fields.
Running annually since 2014, it currently attracts many participants
including the best talent in industry and academia. The conference will
foster collaboration and bridge the academic- commercial gap in the
database, artificial intelligence, network and big data communities.

We now encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals
for highly interactive workshops (either full-day or half-day) focusing on
either in-depth analysis or broad-ranging approaches to exchange cutting
edge research ideas in Big Data and Smart Computing research,
development and practice.

The workshops will complement the main 2019 IEEE BigComp conference.
The workshops will be held on the day before the main 2019 IEEE BigComp
conference, i.e., Feb. 27, 2019

Workshop proposals are reviewed based on the quality of the proposal,
its relation to the main IEEE BigComp topics, and the likelihood to attract
enough participants as well as the hosting capacity of the venue.

   Accepted workshop papers will also be published in the IEEE BigComp
workshop proceedings, which will be indexed in the IEEE Digital   Library,
together with the main 2019 IEEE BigComp proceedings. All the workshop
papers should be limited to no more than 8 pages in IEEE Conference format.

Workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop,
forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and
guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and breadth of the
conference. Workshops that cannot attract enough papers will be cancelled.
The workshop organizers should ensure registration and presence of authors
of accepted papers. Please keep in mind that the cost of any invited speaker
should be borne by the workshop PC chairs and not the BigComp organizing
committee unless BigComp wishes to sponsor workshop keynote speakers.


WORKSHOP TOPICS

Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and
initiatives in Big Data and Smart Computing. The workshops should provide
an informal and innovative forum for researchers and industry practitioners
to share their research results and practical development experiences in
Big Data and Smart Computing research, development and practice.

SUBMISSION

Workshop proposals (2 pages maximum) should include the following information:

- Title
- Motivation for the workshop and appropriateness to BigComp.
- Theme and purpose of the workshop.
- Format and planned activities and a tentative schedule of workshop
(a half day or full day).
- Selection process for presenters
-  Expected minimum/maximum number of participants.
- List of organizers with a short biographical sketch of each
