and Smart Computing (IEEE BigComp2022)

http://www.bigcomputing.org

Bangkok, Thailand
(May switch to online event depending on the COVID-19 situation)
January 17 ~ 20, 2022

Goals: Big data and smart computing are emerging research fields that have been drawing much attention from diverse disciplines including computer science, information technology and social sciences. The goal of the International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (BigComp), initiated by KIISE (Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Engineers), 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. Following the successes of the previous BigComp conferences in Bangkok, Thailand (2014), Jeju, Korea (2015), Hong Kong, China (2016), Jeju, Korea (2017), Shanghai, China (2018), Kyoto, Japan (2019), Busan, Korea (2020), and Jeju, Korea (2021), the 2022 IEEE International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (IEEE BigComp 2022) will be held in Bangkok, Thailand. The conference is co-sponsored by IEEE and KIISE. IEEE BigComp 2022 invites authors to submit original research papers and original work-in-progress reports on big data and smart computing.

Related Topics: The topics of interest for IEEE BigComp2022 include (but are not limited to) the following:
* Techniques, models and algorithms for big data
* Tools and systems for big data
* Machine learning and AI for big data
* Cloud and grid computing for big data
