During an era of unprecedented change we are faced with challenges that are well beyond traditional data-processing techniques. Big Data aims to ease analysis of large and varied data sets in a systematic fashion. Nowadays, Big Data is the driving force for innovation that greatly impacts scientific, medical and socio-economic areas.
The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT) is an annual conference series aiming to provide a platform for researchers from both academia and industry to present new discoveries in the broad area of Big Data computing and applications.
BDCAT2020 will be hosted at the University of Leicester, UK. The city of Leicester is a major city in the middle of the country and is well connected to the rest of the world with road, rail and air networks.
This will be the 7th BDCAT in a successful conference series of community-driven events. Previous events were held in London, UK (BDCAT 2014), Limassol, Cyprus (BDCAT 2015), Shanghai, China (BDCAT 2016), Austin, Texas, USA (BDCAT 2017), Zurich, Switzerland (BDCAT 2018) and Auckland, New Zealand (BDCAT 2019).
BDCAT2020 is co-located with UCC2020 and offers a technical programme, workshops, tutorials, doctoral symposium, and cloud challenge.
