Call for Papers

Aims and Scope

Big Knowledge deals with fragmented knowledge from heterogeneous, autonomous information sources for complex and evolving relationships, in addition to domain expertise. The IEEE International Conference on Big Knowledge (ICBK) provides a premier international forum for presentation of original research results in Big Knowledge opportunities and challenges, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative, practical development experiences. The conference covers all aspects of Big Knowledge,including algorithms, software, systems, and applications. ICBK drawsresearchers and application developers from a wide range of Big Knowledge related areas such as knowledge engineering, big data analytics, statistics,machine learning, pattern recognition, data mining, knowledge visualization,high performance computing, and World Wide Web. By promoting novel, high quality research findings, and innovative solutions to challenging Big Knowledge problems, the conference seeks to continuously advance the state-of-the-art in Big Knowledge.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society. Awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of the best paper and the best student paper. A selected number of best papers will beinvited for possible inclusion, in an expanded and revised form, in the Knowledge and Information Systems Journal.
