The goal of the 6th International Symposium on Big Data Research and Innovation (BigR&I-2019), co-located with the 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud2019), is to provide an international forum for exchanging ideas and information from both Academia and Industry on current issues, challenges, research results, system developments, industrial use cases and practical experiences in the promising field of Big Data. This emerging research field recently draws much attention and interest in computer science, information technology and information security as well as in social sciences and other disciplines.

The topics of interest  include (but are not limited to):

    Techniques and models, infrastructures and platforms, algorithms and systems for Big Data
    Artificial Intelligence for Big Data and Data Science
    Knowledge Engineering, Data Mining and Machine learning
    NoSQL, NewSQL, Graph and new Databases for Big Data
    Verification, Validation and Testing Big Data applications
    Transaction properties and models for Big Data systems (ACID, CAP, BASE, etc)
    Web search and information retrieval
    Unstructured data management
    Big Data analytics and Social Media
    Parallel and distributed computing for Big Data
    Hardware/software infrastructure for Big Data
    Big Data storage, integration, services and virtualization
    Security, privacy and trust for Big Data
    Big data for threat intelligence
    Visualisation of Big Data
    Virtualization for Big Data
    Ethical issues in Big Data
    Cloud, IoT and Big Data
    Big data and smart computing applications (health care, medicine, bioinformatics, finance, law, business, education, transportation, telecommunication, science, engineering, multimedia, ecosystem, etc.)

Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal.

Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants.

Publication: Papers selected for presentation will appear in the FiCloud Proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and will be submitted to the IEEE-Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Libraries (CSDL) after their oral presentation at the conference. The proceedings are also submitted for indexing through IEE INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.
