The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Science, Engineering, and Applications (BDSEA) is an annual international conference series. The first two events were held in London (BDC 2014) and Cyprus (BDC 2015) respectively. In 2016, the conference has been expanded to explicitly include application and renamed as BDSEA 2016. The conference series aims to provide a platform for researchers to present their new discoveries, developments, results, as well as the latest trends in big data computing and applications. BDSEA 2016 will be held in conjunction with the 9th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2016) at Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts on a broad range of topics related to big data science, computing paradigms, platforms and applications.
