Big Data, Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering

This book presents the outcomes of the 3rd IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Big Data, Cloud Computing, Data Science and Engineering (BCD 2018), which was held on July 10-12, 2018, in Kanazawa. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers and scientists, businesspeople and entrepreneurs, teachers, engineers, computer users, and students to discuss the various fields of computer science, share their experiences, and exchange new ideas and information in a meaningful way. All aspects (theory, applications, and tools) of computer and information science, the practical challenges encountered along the way, and the solutions adopted to solve them are all explored here.

The conference organizers selected the best papers from among those accepted for presentation. The papers were chosen on the basis of review scores submitted by members of the program committee and subsequently underwent further rigorous review. Following this second round of review, 13 of the conference's most promising papers were selected for this Springer (SCI) book. We eagerly await the important contributions that we know these authors will make to the field of computer and information science.
