Big Data recently has become a new ubiquitous term to describe large datasets that are challenging to store, search, share, visualize, and analyze. Effective management and analysis of the Big Data would bring substantial benefits and unique opportunities to the users. However, the conventional methods are limited on providing desirable operations on effective Big Data analytics. The Big Data workshop 2016 (BigData 2016) is to promote research works in this emerging area of Big Data-inspired computing, networks, systems, and applications. BigData 2016, held in conjunction with CyberC 2016, aims to provide a leading forum for sharing and exchanging experiences, new ideas, and research results on broad topics of Big Data Research, Development, and Applications. It solicits high quality papers that illustrate novel Big Data models, architecture and infrastructure, management, search and processing, security and privacy, applications, surveys and industrial experiences.
