Building on the success of last year's meeting, the IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI) 2018 will host the Computational Intelligence in Big Data (CIBD) 2018. The event will bring together international experts to discuss theories and applications of big data in computer science. Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the symposium will host academics, researchers, professionals, industrial representatives, students and practitioners. Registration to SSCI 2018 will allow participants to attend the CIBD meeting, other sessions, and coffee breaks, lunches and conference banquet.

The IEEE CIBD 2018 will bring together international scientists, researchers and professionals to present and discuss the current challenges and opportunities in big data related to computational intelligence (CI). The organisers welcome presentation of recent results relating to CI algorithms, software, systems and architecture, data analytics, current challenges, and new and emerging applications. Presentations relating to industry, novel applications and emerging CI areas in BG are strongly encouraged.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

•    Novel CI methods of big data acquisition
•    CI in distributed computing of big data
•    Memory efficient CI algorithms relating to reading, processing or analysing big data
•    Data mining in big data
•    Deep learning in big data
•    Integration of big data, such as multi-modal, multi-fidelity, structured and unstructured data
