The increasing use of Information Technology and IoT in our lives and the treatment of big volumes of data companies and governments have to face, is going to raise multiple challenges to researchers. Our community will have to find answers to questions like: what are the good solutions to manipulate and analyze large data sets, what are the appropriate mechanisms to transmit these data from one site to another?

Wireless Communications allow interconnections and exchange of information among various types of nodes ranging from humans, natural sites to computers. Indeed, the heterogeneous character of these ubiquitous connections brings forward the use of complex network technologies and theories.

The International conference on Big Data and Advanced Wireless technologies (BDAW) will be held at the American University in Bulgaria (AUB) in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, from November 10 to 11, 2016.

The aim of BDAW is to bring together researchers, professors and students from around the world to present their latest ideas and research results within the scope of BDAW'2016. The conference will include presentations of contributed papers, poster sessions, and state-of-the-art lectures by invited keynote speakers.
