Call for Papers

2019 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2019)
http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2019/
December 10-13, 2019, Los Angeles, CA, USA

In recent years, Big Data has become a new ubiquitous term. Big Data is transforming science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance, business, and ultimately our society itself. The IEEE Big Data conference series started in 2013 has established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data.
* The first conference IEEE Big Data 2013 had more than 400 registered participants from 40 countries (http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2013/) and the regular paper acceptance rate is 17.0%.
* The IEEE Big Data 2017 (http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2017/, regular paper acceptance rate: 17.8%) was held in Boston, MA, Dec 11-14, 2017 with close to 1000 registered participants from 50 countries.
* The IEEE Big Data 2018 (http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2018/, regular paper acceptance rate: 19.7%) was held in Seattle, WA, Dec 10-13, 2018 with close to 1100 registered participants from 47 countries.


The 2019 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2019) will continue the success of the previous IEEE Big Data conferences. It will provide a leading forum for disseminating the latest results in Big Data Research, Development, and Applications.
