* Submission and Publication

Original technical contributions are sought. Contributions will be selected on the basis of their quality. Papers should not exceed 12 pages in total (using LNCS/LNAI style). Proceedings with accepted papers will be published in the LNAI/LNCS series (Springer-Verlag) and distributed at the conference, as done in previous MDAI conferences. See LNAI volumes 3131, 3558, 3885, 4617, 5285, 5861, 6408, 6820, 7647, 8234, and 8825. Besides, papers, that according to the evaluation of the referees, are not suitable for the LNAI but that have some merits will be published in a USB proceedings (with ISBN) and scheduled in the MDAI program.

The Sixth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence and the Second BRICS Congress on Computational Intelligence (ICSI-CCI’2015)
(http://www.ic-si.org)(IEEE Conference Record #36364) will be jointly held in Beijing, China, from June 26 to 29, 2015. With the advent of big data analysis and intelligent computing techniques we are facing new challenges to make the information transparent and understandable efficiently. The ICSI-CCI’2015 will provide an excellent opportunity and/or an academic forum for academia and practitioners to present and discuss the latest scientific results and methods, the innovative ideas and advantages in theories, technologies and applications in both swarm intelligence and computational intelligence. The technical program will cover all aspects of swarm intelligence, neural networks, evolutionary computation and fuzzy systems applied to all fields of computer vision, signal processing, machine learning, data mining, robotics, scheduling, game theory, DB, parallel realization, etc.

Sponsored by Peking University, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, World Federation of Soft Computing, International Neural Network Society, Chinese Association of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Springer, etc.(more to be added).

All papers accepted by ICSI-CCI’2015 will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and IEEE CPS Xplore(IEEE Conference Record #36364) before the conference, some high-quality papers will be selected for special issues of several SCI-indexed Journals and Transactions.

You are welcome to submitting to our ICSI-CCI’2015!
We are looking forward to meeting you at Beijing, China!

Happy Chinese Springer Festival!

Introduction
——————————

Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity).

Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments in their own IT infrastructures.

As estimated by IDC, by 2020, about 40% data globally would be touched with Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing provides strong storage, computation and distributed capability in support of Big Data processing.

BDCloud (Big Data and Cloud Computing) was created to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the latest advances in Big Data and Cloud Computing as well as their synergy.
