There is a growing interest in virtualized environments and their applications, raising several challenges.
Many trends are emerging to address these issues. In this respect, Cloud computing provides a powerful model to connect users to information resources from anywhere in the world.
It has become a significant technology with several advantages including cost savings, access to greater computing resources, high availability, and scalability.
In addition, the advent of Semantic Web has raised new opportunities and challenges.
In this context, Big Data and Linked Data are being an integral part of the web infrastructure, where massive amounts of connected or possibly interconnectable data, adressable via URIs/IRIs, are available. These technologies are paving the way of the Web of Data.

The aim of the BigCVEn Workshop is to provide a forum to bring together scientists, researchers and practitioners interested in these emerging architectures and
methodologies for capturing, storing, managing and analyzing massive, dispersed, interconnected data over the Web. It also aims to discuss the connection and\or interaction
between Web of Data/Linked Data and Big Data/Cloud Computing.



The topics of interest of the track include, but not limited to:
- CLOUD COMPUTING/MOBILITY AND CLOUD
Cloud Computing standards and technologies
Cloud Computing specifications and enhancements
