This is call for full paper submission. The deadline is approaching and we
are inviting you to contribute to the conference with your research papers
/ case studies.

This is the *third IEEE International Conference on Big Data* held at* San
Francisco Bay *Area with a vision to create a platform to bring the
international researchers and experts in Software Engineering field to
share their ideas and recent works in the Big data field.


BigData Computing and Services are receiving significant attention
recently. The IEEE BigDataService 2017 conference provides a platform for
researchers and practitioners to exchange innovative ideas, latest research
results, as well as practical experience and lessons learnt on this topic.
Its major interests include big data applications in various domains such
as healthcare, business and financing, education and learning, social
networks and media, smart environment, sensors and Internet of Things as
well as technology aspects such as computing services and architecture,
modeling, data mining and analytics, and databases. The conference will be
co-located with IEEE SOSE 2017, IEEE MobileCloud 2017, and IEEE Crowd
Sourcing 2017.



IEEE BigDataService 2017 will consist of workshops. The conference seeks
the submission of high-quality papers limited to 6 pages (IEEE format) in
length. All accepted papers will be included in the proceedings.

1. Workshop on BigData Security and Services : http://big-dataservice.net/
securityWorkshop.html


Big Data has been at the heart of the Smart City, the Internet of Things,
and Social Communities, all of which need to offer services, intelligence,
and security. We still need to develop appropriate solutions for the
management of Big Data in a secure way. This workshop aims to discuss
better solutions for the management and security of Big Data, which may
include (1) system design for Big Data Security, (2) state-of-art data
engineering schemes for Big Data Security, (3) service design and use cases
for Big Data Security, and (4) application-oriented security systems for
Big Data.


The workshop topics in Smart City, Big Data, and IoT include, but are
limited to:

   - Data analysis and data applications for security
   - Data models and algorithms for security
   - Privacy management and anonymization
   - Machine learning
   - System design and modeling for security
   - Distributed systems
   - Privacy
   - Cloud computing
   - Cyber security in emergent technologies
   - Big data storage
   - Security in social engineering
   - Big data platforms, such as Spark, Hadoop

2. Workshop on Big Data Applications in Smart City Development: http://big-
dataservice.net/smartCityWorkshop.html

A smart city integrates information and communication technologies, as well
as Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to reduce costs and resource
consumption, enhance performance, and connect and engage more effectively
and actively with its citizens. This vast and semi-structured collection of
city and citizen-related data provides many opportunities for the
development of smart city applications building on big data technologies.

The workshop topics in Smart City, Big Data, and IoT include, but are
limited to:

   - Smart and connected communities
   - Big Data and Urban Data Analytics
   - Social Computing and Networks for Smart Cities
   - Urban planning and development
   - Smart city governance
   - Cloud Computing and Network Infrastructure for Smart Cities
   - Intelligent Transport Systems and Traffic Management
   - Clean Cities
   - Smart Sensors and Measurement Systems
   - Internet of Things for Smart Cities
   - Intelligent Buildings
   - Frameworks and models for Smart City Initiatives
   - Safety, Security, and Privacy
   - Case Studies and Innovative Applications

3. Workshop on Big Data Quality Assurance: http://big-dataservice.net/
qualityAssuranceWorkshop.html

With the increase of big data applications in diverse application fields,
big data computing and application service is becoming a very hot topic
among academic researchers, industry practitioners, and government
agencies. As more big data and application systems are gradually used in
different application domains (such as business, healthcare,
transportation, environment monitor and assessment, and smart city
development), big data quality and quality assurance of big data
application service systems become very important and critical. Based on
recent reports, it has been estimated that erroneous data costs US
businesses 600 billion dollars annually. This workshop will focus on the
subject of quality assurance issues and challenges for big data and
application service systems. There are emergent needs for research problems
and directions on this subject in terms of quality control models,
automation validation methods, approaches, and service platforms as well as
TaaS (Testing-as-a-service) and other novel test automation techniques. We
invite original papers from both academia and industry

Topics of interest include:

   - Data quality models and evaluation metrics
   - Quality assurance for big data applications
   - Big data validation methods
   - Big data quality management governance
   - Standards and processes for big data
   - Big data application quality assurance
   - Adequacy testing and coverage analysis for big data applications
   - Big data quality validation and automation
   - Quality models and metrics for big data applications
   - Big data-based security testing
   - Big data-based bug detection, validation, prediction
   - Data-driven intelligent validation methods and tools
   - Big data quality management, economics, and test billing model
   - Software test automation in big data applications
   - Experiments, empirical studies and experience reports for big data
   test automation
