IEEE SmartData-2021 Call for Papers
The 7th IEEE International Conference on Smart Data (SmartData 2021)
December 06 - 08, 2021, Melbourne, Australia
http://nsclab.org/smartdata2021/

Smart data aims to filter out noise data and produce valuable data, which can be effectively used by enterprises and governments for planning, operation, monitoring, control, and intelligent decision making. Although an unprecedentedly large amount of sensory data can be collected with the advancement of the Cyber-Physical-Social systems, the key is to explore how big data can become smart data and offer intelligence. Advanced big data modelling and analytics are indispensable for discovering the underlying structures of retrieved data and further acquiring smart data.

IEEE SmartData-2021 will be held in December 2021, Melbourne, Australia. It aims to promote community-wide discussions about identifying intelligent technologies and theories for harvesting smart data from big data. It will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work in process in all aspects of smart data.
