The BIC is the newly renamed conference from highly successful series of the International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing Application and Wireless Sensor Network (UCAWSN) - 4th UCAWSN (July, 2016), 3rd UCAWSN (July, 2015), 2nd UCAWSN (July, 2014), and 1st UCAWSN (July, 2013) since 2013 including BIC 2017 (Jeju). The BIC 2018 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on Big data, IoT, and Cloud Computing (BIC). The BIC 2018 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of BIC such as model, algorithms, applications, services, performance and reliability for Big data, IoT, Cloud Computing . Also, the conference will publish high-quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in Big data, IoT, and Cloud computing. Furthermore, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in those important subjects. Papers presented in the BIC 2018 will be published by Conference CD proceeding (without ISSN/ISBN)*. Moreover, outstanding papers will be recommended to international journals indexed by SCI/E or SCOPUS. --------------------------------------------- TOPICS (included, but are not limited to) ---------------------------------------------- Track 1.
