BigComp 2016 - 3rd International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (BigComp) 2016

Big data and smart computing are emerging research fields that have recently drawn much attention from computer science and information technology as well as from social sciences and other disciplines. The goal of the International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (BigComp), initiated by KIISE (Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Engineers), is to provide an international forum for exchanging ideas and information on current studies, challenges, research results, system developments, and practical experiences in these emerging fields. Following the successes of the previous BigComp conferences in Bangkok, Thailand (2014), and Jeju, Korea (2015), the 2016 International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (BigComp 2016) will be held in Hong Kong. Notably, world renowned database experts, Kyu-Young Whang, KAIST, Korea and Elisa Bertino, Purdue University, USA, will be the keynote speakers of this year’s conference. Kyu-Young Whang will talk on “DB-IR Integration and Its Application to a Massively-Parallel Search Engine”, and Elisa Bertino on “Security and Privacy for the IoT”
