The IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Big Data Computing (CBDCom 2018) is a premier forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and users who are interested in both cloud and big data computing to explore new ideas, techniques and tools. In addition to full-length regular papers, CBDCom 2018 welcomes Posters and Demos showing innovative and original research in the areas of cloud and big data computing. All accepted posters and demos will be included in the conference proceedings as poster papers. They must be presented during the conference poster & demo session during the conference.

Submission Guidelines

For posters, presenters must submit a poster paper about their research. Each submission will be submitted as a short paper (up to 4 pages), describing the related research work, as well as the relevance and importance to cloud and big data computing. All of submissions will be reviewed by a committee. If accepted, this poster paper will be published in the proceedings of the conference.

Demo proposals are welcome on all subjects related to CBDCom. A typical demo presentation is 30-minutes long consisting of a live demonstration or a mix of talk and live demonstration. The authors will be given the opportunity to present their prototypes or products to a wide audience in dedicated demo sessions.

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. All submissions must be typeset in double-column IEEE format, with all fonts embedded. Submitted papers must include the contact information of all the authors. Please make sure you use the latest version of the templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible.

The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates for conferences can be found at IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

Submissions must be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbdcom2018.

When submitting, please select the appropriate Track for your paper (i.e., Poster and Demo).

Please bring a poster of recommended size A1 (594mm by 841mm, portrait) to the venue.

Best Poster Award
CBDCom 2018 will be offering an award recognizing the best research poster presented at the conference. During the poster session, your poster will be reviewed by a judging panel selected from the conference organizing and program committee. Your poster will be judged based on the novelty, quality of research undertaken and clarity of presentation. The Best Poster will receive an Award Certificate.
