Diverse multidisciplinary approaches are being continuously developed and advanced to address the challenges that Big Data research raises. In particular, the current academic and professional environments are working to produce algorithms, theoretical advance in big data science, to enable the full utilisation of its potential, and better applications.

The proposed workshop focuses on the dissemination of original contributions to discuss and explore theoretical concepts, principles, tools, techniques and deployment models in the context of Big Data. In particular, via the contribution of both academics and industry practitioners, the current approaches for the acquisition, interpretation, and assessment of relevant information will be addressed in order to advance the state-of-the-art Big Data technology.
