Call for Workshops: The 4th IEEE International Conference on Big Data and Cloud Computing (BDCloud 2014), 3-5 Dec. 2014, Sydney, Australia. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdcloud2014/workshop.htm Important dates: Workshop proposal Deadline: 20 June 2014 Workshop Notification: 25 June 2014 Workshop Proposal Submissions: Email to workshop chairs listed below Shui Yu, Deakin University, Australia, shui.yu@deakin.edu.au Andrew Clashe, UTS, Australia, andrew.clashe@gmail.com Rafael Tolosana, University of Zaragoza, Spain, rafaelt.unizar@gmail.com Massimo Cafaro, University of Salento, Lecce, Italy, massimo.cafaro@unile.it Workshops will be held together with the main conference during the same dates and venue. We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topics related to Big Data and Cloud Computing to the Workshop Chairs. The purpose of these workshops is to offer to researchers a good opportunity to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to obtain feedback from an interested community. Workshops that focus on new and emerging topics, or on applications and industry contributions are particularly encouraged. In general, a workshop takes one day or half day while multiple-day workshops are welcome. A workshop proposal should contain at least: · Title of workshop: International workshop on ... · Workshop chairs/organisers: Names, Affiliations, address, e-mail, · Brief description of the workshop (several hundred words) · The workshop deadlines and website · Prior history of this workshop, if any. Important dates: Workshop proposal Deadline: 20 June 2014 Workshop Notification: 25 June 2014 Each workshop will start to distribute a call for paper after receiving the notification. Papers submitted to each workshop will be reviewed by the program committee and external reviewers of the workshop. Once accepted, each workshop organisers are in charge of: · Setting up a Web site for the workshop according to the template that will be distributed. · Establishing own paper submission system. · Deciding own submission deadlines, but following the same camera-ready deadline and registration deadline as the main conference. · Ensuring that each paper selected for inclusion in the proceedings will be registered for main conference at the same registration rates. Each paper must be presented in person by the author, or one of the authors. Proceedings of the workshops will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, in the same proceedings of main conference, and will be made available to all conference registrants on site. All workshop papers will also be electronically available through IEEE Xplore Digital Database, and professionally indexed through INSPEC and EI Index. Please organize your workshop as early as possible to ensure your effort turn out to be fruitful. In particular we suggest to make explicit the different focus of your workshop, if compared with eventual overlapping conference topics, in order to attract relevant contributions. For further information on preparing a workshop proposal, please contact the Workshops Chairs.
