Two types of posters and demos are welcome. Both of them will be displayed during the conference. 1. Proceedings published posters and demos: Submission is a 2-page short paper describing the post/demo content, research, relevance and importance to the conference community. If accepted, the 2-page short paper will be published in the main conference proceedings. 2. Web published posters and demos: Submission is a 1-page extended abstract. Such posters/demos will not be included in the conference proceedings, but will be published on the conference website. --------------- Participants are invited to submit posters and research demos to BDCloud 2018. BDCloud 2018 is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data and Cloud Computing as well as joint-venture and synergic research and development across various related areas.
