Data are being generated at exponential rate all over the world, and organizations are storing exponentially larger amounts of data. One of the main challenges in IoT and Big Data management is the growing diversity and heterogeneity of the hardware and software interfaces needed for interacting with the plethora of connected sensors and devices over the Internet.

InterIoT&BigData'2016 seeks original unpublished papers focusing on emerging applications, management, architecture of IoT and BigData. In addition, this workshop also welcomes work-in-progress, case studies, visionary idea, new application challenges, and industrial practice studies.

InterIoT&BigData'2016 will be held in Conjunction with International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP'2016), Philadelphia, PA, USA, August 16-19, 2016.
