Special issues: Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Journal of Computer and System Science =========== Introduction Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments in their own IT infrastructures. As estimated by IDC, about 40% data globally would be touched with Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing provides strong storage, computation and distributed capability in support of Big Data processing.

The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of computer and information technology. CIT has become a major platform for researchers and industry practitioners from different fields of computer and information technology. Each year, CIT attendees appreciate and benefit from multidisciplinary exchanges in computer and information technology. In previous years, CIT has attracted many high quality research papers spanning over the various aspects of information technology, computing science and computer engineering. These papers highlight foundational work that strives to push beyond limits of existing computer technologies, including experimental efforts, innovative systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in existing IT services. IEEE CIT is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of computer and information technology. Scope and Topics Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Information Technology - Blockchain - Cloud Computing - Data Science and Systems - Signal Processing - Networking and Internet of Things - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust - Applications, Business and Social Issues - Database and Data Management - Microwave and Radar - System Software and Software Engineering - Pattern Recognition, Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence - Information Technology for Biomedicine and Smart Health - Wireless Communications - Mobile Multimedia Communications - Wireless and Mobile Computing - Future Internet - Cellular Network and 5G - Social Computing and Social Network - Web Technologies Submission Guidelines Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2019/cit/submission.htm. Publications Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference. Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues in Future Generation Computer Systems, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience.

[P2P] IoT Simulator Release
by DEEPAK PUTHAL 15 Sep '19

15 Sep '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] We have released code for the Internet of Things (IoT) Simulator (IoTSim-Edge and IoTSim-Stream). Individual simulator properties are listed as follows. Find this link to download the simulator and user manual. LINK: https://rajivranjan.net/iotsim/iotsim-release/ The unique features provided by *IoTSim-Edge* - New IoT application graph modeling abstraction that allows practitioners to define the data analytic operations and their mapping to different parts of the infrastructure (e.g. IoT and edge). - The abstraction that supports modeling of heterogeneous IoT protocols along with their energy consumption profile. - It allows practitioners to define the configuration of edge and IoT devices along with the specific protocols they support for networking. - The abstraction that supports modeling of mobile IoT devices. - It also captures the effect of handoff caused by the movement of IoT devices. - This supports a cooperative edge-to-edge communication that allows the transfer of the processed data of the respective IoT device by one edge via another edge. The unique features provided by *IoTSim-Stream* - Support modeling data incentive IoT-based applications using stream processing model (aka stream graph applications). - Support modeling Multicloud environment as an execution environment for stream graph application. - Support user-defined resource provisioning and scheduling policies. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#m_-8366651989250049870_m_-6523994613213037580_m_-2017505527304677882_m_-4519534350942287427_m_727204774248704102_m_5942769565029891256_m_-3388761656478675448_m_1469688015519361039_m_-4389534215475672548_m_7480604196536126110_m_1759200226978514695_m_-6200877099479937359_m_1952820866678730786_m_-882225267650174955_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
