This book presents the outcomes of the 3rd IEEE ACIS International Conference on Big Data
Cloud Computing Data Science & 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 to share their experiences and to 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.
