ICOMP 2014 - The 2014 International Conference on Internet Computing and Big Data (ICOMP'14)

You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in printed conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each paper. In addition, like prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about 35%) will appear in journals and edited research books (publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others). See the following links for a small subset of the publications based on the Congress: (some of these books and special issues have already received the top 25% downloads in their respective fields - we also have a number of Elsevier and Springer books in the pipeline based on the last offering of the congress):
