Big Data lies at the center of modern science and technology, with major advances in analyzing & learning from Big Data concurrently reshaping human knowledge, society, and economy. The overwhelming amounts of data generated in many applications (fundamental sciences, cyber-physical systems, smart cities, sensor networks, and many more) alongside the urge for fast and effective handling and decision-making, in real-time, pose a number of significant challenges on the underlying system design and methods.

The 12th International Conference on Big Data Computing and Communications (BigCom2026), which is to be held on AUG. 14-16, 2026 in Beijing, China. The conference aims to attract researchers and practitioners with interest in the theme of Big Data, in its broadest sense: analytics, management, security and privacy, communications, and high-performance computing. We welcome original, unpublished research papers that emphasize theoretical foundations, modeling, algorithmic methodologies, and data-driven applications in science and engineering. We also welcome visionary papers on new and emerging topics.
