Welcome to BDCEC'2016
Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, and their convergence have emerged as major drivers for enterprise transformation and innovation in both business and IT worlds. Enterprises’ competitiveness is increasingly determined by their abilities to leverage these technologies. The Big Data and Cloud Engineering Conference (BDCEC'2016) describes the platform that supports the convergence of these technologies as the third platform. It is accessed from mobile devices, utilizes big data, and is cloud based. IoT (Internet of Things), Mobile and Social network are major sources of Big Data. Cloud Computing provides a scalable services consumption model and cost-effective delivery platform. Big data analytics offers the promise of providing valuable insight for science, engineering, medicine, finance, business, government etc. Successful application of these technologies helps enterprises understand customers’ needs and sentiment, make right decisions in time, improve process efficiency, allow them to mass-customize their services, and improve products/services to excel in the fast changing competitive landscape.
