This conference will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to address new challenges and share solutions, and discuss future research directions. It will feature plenary speeches, industrial panel sessions, and funding agency panel sessions, interactive sessions, and invited/special sessions, tutorials. Contributions are expected from academia, industry, and management agencies. All accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. The conference theme is: Big Data Analytics. Big data analytics is a hot research and application subject for academic researchers, industries, and government managers. Big data applications have been developed in many fields such as medical and healthcare, business and financing, education and learning, social networks and networking, telecommunication, energy and environment, sensors and Internet of things, etc. Big data technologies such as computing techniques and architecture, modeling, data/text mining and analytics, and databases are advancing impressively. This conference seeks to engross the community address these issues and to craft new discoveries and applications on big data. Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to: Big data Bio-informatics, bio-signals and systems Collaborative systems Complex system management Control of networks Control systems Distributed intelligent systems Data Mining Emergency mitigation Emergency planning and response Fuzzy and neural systems Hazard mitigation Heterogeneous wireless networks Homeland security Human adaptive mechatronics Human/computer interface Information systems & infrastructure Information retrieval Intelligent vehicle highway systems Internet of things Knowledge discovery Medical and patient monitoring Micro/nano, electro-mechanical sensor systems Multi-agent systems Multi-level multi-objective optimization Network security Network-based computing systems Networked control systems Petri nets and discrete event systems Sensor design, integration and fusion Sensor networks Smart car and vehicle control Smart grids Smart environments Space-based networking Tele-robotics Vision and image processing Wireless communications Workflow management PAPER SUBMISSION Complete manuscripts must be electronically submitted through the conference website http://www.icnsc2016.org Submitted manuscripts should be six (6) pages in IEEE two-column format, including figures, tables, and references.
