Edge clouds are emerging as a pivotal computing infrastructure, especially with the advancements in communication technologies like 5G and Web of Things (WoT) infrastructures. They play a significant role in collecting and processing big data efficiently, particularly in smart cities and smart factories. In such environments, the provision of real-time Web services for various data types becomes imperative. Additionally, the creation of a dependable framework for developing big data service applications is crucial. The upcoming fourth edition of the BECS workshop aims to offer a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange experiences and present ongoing work on delivering enhanced Web services by leveraging big data in edge cloud environments.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

- Web services in edge clouds
- Web of things in edge clouds
- AI in edge computing (Edge AI)
- Dependable and highly usable big data platforms
- Distributed data collection, analysis, and prediction
- Stream data processing in edge clouds
- Big knowledge graphs for distributed edge cloud environments
- Modeling and mashup of edge cloud services
- Microservice architecture for edge cloud environments
- Edge-cloud interaction and collaboration

Paper Submission:

Authors are invited to submit full papers (maximum length of 12 pages, including all references and figures) or short/demo papers (maximum length of 6 pages, including all references and figures). Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s formatting guidelines.
All papers should be submitted through the EasyChair platform (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=becs2024).

Accepted papers will be included in the post-workshop proceedings to appear in Springer's CCIS series. A few high-quality submissions will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to a special issue of the Journal of Web Engineering (indexed in SCIE and in Scopus).

For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the workshop and present the paper. Registration is subject to the terms and conditions of ICWE.
