Context & Scope
The 5th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2018) aims 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 conference topics are big data science, infrastructure and platforms, applications, trends and challenges as well as visualisation of big data.
BDCAT 2018 will have a co-located 11th International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2018) and a subsequent Serverless Symposium. Do not miss the opportunity for discussing a full week of cloud and big data advances in central Europe at the end of the year!
This will be the 5th BDCAT along with the 11th UCC in a successful conference series of community-driven events. For more information, consult the conference history and the listing of previous awards given to top papers presented at the conference..
