Monterey Workshop Call For Papers

October 8-11, 2016, China National Convention Center, Beijing, China

2016 marks the 23rd anniversary for the Monterey Workshop series which started in 1993. For nearly a quarter of century, the Monterey Workshops have established themselves as an important international forum to foster, among academia, industry, and government agencies, discussion and exchange of ideas, research results and experience in developing software intensive systems, and have significantly advanced the field. The community of the workshop participants has grown to become an influential source of ideas and innovations and its impact on the knowledge economy has been felt worldwide.

The main theme for 2016 Monterey Workshop is Challenges and Opportunities with Big Data. Big Data and Big Data Analytics, which comprise a multi-dimensional scientific and technological pursuit that is transforming sciences, engineering, healthcare, medicine, manufacturing, business, finance, retail, service industries, education, media, transportation, and government.
