======================CALL FOR PAPERS==============================

The 6th IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Big Data Computing (IEEE CBDCom 2020)

June 22-26, Calgary, Canada http://cyber-science.org/2020/cbdcom/

===================================================================

INTRODUCTION ============= The IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Big Data Computing is a premier forum for researchers, practitioners and developers who are interested in cloud computing and big data to explore new ideas, techniques and tools, as well as to exchange experience. Besides the latest research achievements, the conference covers also innovative commercial data management systems, innovative commercial applications of cloud computing and big data technology, and experience in applying recent research advances to real-world problems. IEEE CBDCom 2020 will be the fifth edition of the conference after the success of CBDCom 2015 in Beijing, CBDCom 2016 in Toulouse, CBDCom 2017 in San Francisco, CBDCom 2018 in Guangzhou, and CDBCom 2019 in Fukuoka. It will continuously offer a platform for researchers to exchange novel studies, discuss important issues and explore key challenges in innovative cloud and big data for smarter world. ================ IMPORTANT DATES ================ Regular Paper Submission Due: March. 10, 2020 (EXTENDED DEADLINE) Wksp/SS/Poster Paper Due: April 2, 2020 Authors Notification: April 20, 2020 Camera-ready Submission: May 31, 2020 ======================================================================== Open Presentation Option at IEEE Joint CyberSciTech 2020 Calgary, Canada ======================================================================== The IEEE Joint IEEE DASC/PICom/CBDCom/CST 2020 conference organizers have taken the unprecedented step of allowing some submitted papers to be presented online in response to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Several governments around the world have imposed travel restrictions due to outbreaks of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), making travel to the conference impossible. Papers submitted from affected areas can be presented online, should the paper be accepted.

Accepted and registered papers will be included in the proceedings, will be eligible for the best paper award, and will be considered for publication in a special issue.

The details about online presentation, including a reduced registration fee for remote presentation and inclusion in conference proceedings, will be sent to the presenters and posted on the conference web pages once they are finalized.

If you are living in an area affected by a travel ban and intend to submit a paper, please email conference organizers at group-ieee2020conference@athabascau.ca with the names of all authors included on your paper, and their places of residence.

Please confirm with your institution that it will support the cost of your online participation due to these extenuating circumstances. ========================== IEEE CBDCom 2020 CALLS FOR ========================== - Research paper (6-8 pages) should explore novel models, theory, or a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results. - Works-in-Progess (WIP) (4-6 pages) papers are expected to present either work currently in progress or less developed but highly innovative ideas. - Demo/Poster papers (2-4 pages) must describe working systems and be related to CBDCom. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use related technology.

================ PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been submitted or published in any other venue. Regular, work-in-progress (WiP), workshop/special session, and poster papers need to be submitted via EDAS system.

Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS Proceedings format. IEEE formatting information: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

All accepted papers in the main tracks, workshops, special sessions and demos/posters will be published in an IEEE Computer Society proceedings (IEEE-DL and EI indexed). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. Selected papers will be recommended to prestigious journal special issues, among the others: Symmetry @ MDPI (SCIE), IEEE Access (SCIE), ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (SCIE).

Some papers originally submitted as full papers can be accepted as short papers or posters during the review process. In such cases, the authors will need to reduce the paper accordingly when preparing the camera-ready version. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register and present the paper at the conference. ================================ CBDCom 2020 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ================================ Honorary Chairs Matthew Prineas, Athabasca University, Canada Andrzej Gościński, Deakin University, Australia Kuan-Ching Li, Providence University, Taiwan
