Call for Workshop Proposals
The Third International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (BigComp 2016)

The International Conference on Big data and Smart Computing (BigComp) is a leading international forum for exchanging ideas and information in the emerging fields of intelligent computing for big data. The Program Committees of the BigComp 2016 solicit proposals for workshops to be held with the main conference. Workshop topics will typically match those identified in the BigComp 2016 general call for contributions, but proposals concerned with other relevant areas are also welcome.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops will be responsible for publicizing the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing a high quality. Proposals for half-day and full-day workshops comprising of at least 6 regular papers with optional keynote talks and panel discussions are welcome. The organizers should ensure registration and presence of authors of accepted papers, and commit to attend their entire workshop.
