[Contiki-developers] [CFP] IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2025)

[Daniel C. <dan...@us...>]

IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and
Technologies (BDCAT 2025)

We are pleased to announce that the “12th IEEE/ACM International Conference
on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2025)” will be
held in Nantes, France, between 1st and 4th December 2025.

Recent years have witnessed significant interest in the use of Machine
Learning and AI-based techniques to support large-scale data analysis, with
research and implementation of systems specifically focused on supporting
different phases of the data processing lifecycle. These have ranged from
in-memory systems and distributed environments (e.g., MapReduce/Hadoop,
Spark) to specialist environments for stream processing of data and events
(e.g., Flink, Kinesis) and Serverless (e.g., OpenWhisk, AWS Lambda). On the
other hand, we also recognize the importance of computational systems
required to process small data volumes, but which involve interdependencies
and relationships that are hard to capture and derive.

The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications
and Technologies (BDCAT) is a premier annual international conference
series aiming to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and
industry to present and discuss new discoveries in the broad area of big
data computing and applications. Previous events were held in London, UK
(BDCAT 2014), Limassol, Cyprus (BDCAT 2015), Shanghai, China (BDCAT 2016),
Austin, USA (BDCAT 2017), Zurich, Switzerland (BDCAT 2018), Auckland, New
Zealand (BDCAT 2019), Leicester, UK (BDCAT 2020), Leicester, UK (BDCAT
2021), Vancouver, USA (BDCAT 2022), Taormina, Italy (BDCAT 2023), Sharjah,
UAE (BDCAT 2024). The BDCAT 2025 will be held in conjunction with the 18th
IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2025)
in Nantes, France.

Paper Submission

Submitted manuscripts must represent original and unpublished research that
is not currently under review for any other conference or journal.
Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and may not exceed ten (10)
IEEE-formatted double-column pages, including figures, tables, and
references. All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review process and
will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical
strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, quality of presentation,
and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Your submission is
subject to a determination that you are not under any sanctions by ACM.
Accepted papers will later be converted into single-column format through
the ACM TAPS process and therefore need to use the new templates that are
single-column by default. Switch them to double-column for authoring your
paper. This is possible in both the Word and the LaTeX templates.

At least one author per accepted paper must register for the conference in
order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. The conference
proceedings will be published by the ACM and made available online via the
IEEE Xplore Digital Library and ACM Digital Library.
Important Dates

Time zone: Anywhere on Earth (AoE)

Paper Submission Deadline: 5 September 2025

Acceptance Notification: 17 October 2025

Camera Ready Papers Due: Mid-November 2025
Awards and Special Issues

A selection committee chaired by the BDCAT 2025 conference co-chairs will
select and acknowledge the best paper to receive an award during the
conference.

Authors of highly rated papers from BDCAT 2025 will be invited to submit an
extended version to special issues of prestigious journals.
