IEEE Big Data 2024 Call for Papers

2024 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2024)
http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2024/
December 15-18, 2024

In recent years, “Big Data” has become a new ubiquitous term. Big Data is transforming science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance, business, and ultimately our society itself. The IEEE Big Data conference series started in 2013 has established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data.

  • The first conference IEEE Big Data 2013 had more than 400 registered participants from 40 countries ( http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2013/) and the regular paper acceptance rate is 17.0%.
  • The IEEE Big Data 2022 ( http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2022/ , regular paper acceptance rate: 19.2%) was held in Osaka, Japan, Dec 17-20, 2022 with close to 1250 registered participants from 54 countries.
  • The IEEE Big Data 2023 (http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2023/ , regular paper acceptance rate: 17.4%) was held in Sorrento, Italy, Dec 15-18, 2023 with close to 950 registered participants from 50 countries.

The 2024 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2024) will continue the success of the previous IEEE Big Data conferences. It will provide a leading forum for disseminating the latest results in Big Data Research, Development, and Applications.

    • Vision Papers

    We invite authors to submit visionary papers that present forward-looking ideas and future directions in the realm of big data. These papers should identify groundbreaking research opportunities with the potential to significantly broaden the current big data research landscape. The focus should be on innovative and transformative concepts that transcend existing technologies and datasets, encouraging bold and creative thinking. For example, papers from 10-20 years ago that anticipated the advent of real-time big data analytics for personalized healthcare or the emergence of privacy-preserving data-sharing frameworks would have been considered visionary. Today, we welcome papers that introduce novel concepts or explore uncharted territories within the field of big data, offering fresh perspectives that could drive significant advancements. Papers that offer only incremental improvements to well-known problems or minor enhancements to existing solutions are not suitable for this track. Vision papers should adhere to the same formatting guidelines as regular papers but are limited to 5 pages (including references) and must include “(Vision Paper)” in the title.

    INDUSTRIAL & Government Track

    The Industrial Track solicits papers describing implementations of Big Data solutions relevant to industrial settings. The focus of industry track is on papers that address the practical, applied, or pragmatic or new research challenge issues related to the use of Big Data in industry. We accept full papers (up to 10 pages) and extended abstracts (2-4 pages).

    The Government Track welcomes papers discussing the usefulness and need for publicly-contribution big data and open data and their use. Specifically, data utilization scenarios, needs analysis, data utilization obstacle analysis and solutions, data integration processes, interfaces as data utilization solutions, visualization, use cases, evidence-based policy making, building an ecosystem for solving social issues, analyzing their cases, comparing international and regional differences, and conducting comparative surveys before and after specific events (like Covid-19). We are also looking for other big data solutions related to national and local governments, and public services.

    Please submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages) OR a full-length paper (up to 10 pages) through the online submission page (Industrial & Government Track dedicated page).
