The Congress will cover all aspects of services computing and applications, current or emerging. It covers various systems and networking research pertaining to cloud, edge and Internet-of-Things (IoT), as well as technologies for intelligent computing, learning, big data and blockchain applications, while addressing critical requirements such as high performance, security, privacy, dependability, trustworthiness, re-usability, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness. The Congress will be organized with seven affiliated, co-located conferences/congresses solely sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society under the auspice of the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC). Original manuscripts are invited to submit to these conferences/congresses considered with most suitable from the technical point of view.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;" class="">*****IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON BIG DATA (BIGDATA CONGRESS 2019)*****</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;" class="">Honorary General Chair: Ernesto Damiani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;" class="">General Chair: Laurence T.

It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;" class="">Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;" class="">*****ABOUT IEEE*****</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;" class="">IEEE is the world’s largest professional association advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.
