########## INTRODUCTION

With the increasingly use of sensor devices, machine-to-machine
communications and social networks there are large volumes of real world
data that are multi-modal, dynamic and heterogeneous. One of the main
challenges of the Internet of Things, Social Media Analytics and their
blending in Cyber-Social-Physical Systems is to deal with large volumes of
sensory and social data and to extract actionable information. Academia
and industry have recently started to investigate innovative solutions to
deal with the challenge of processing large-scale, multi-modal, dynamic
data collected from the physical, cyber and social environments.

This special issue will explore the big data solutions to extract
actionable information from dynamic data coming from heterogeneous sources
of information. In such environments the components of variety and
velocity pose a key challenge in data federation. In this context
semantics can assist in the analytics by allowing interoperability between
sources of information and providing machine-interoperable metadata, but
techniques proven to work for static data are at risk of not being
applicable due to the lack of responsiveness.

The special issue aims to gather researchers, application developers, and
industry to present methods, algorithms, data models, system architectures
as well as applications addressing the variety and velocity dimensions of
Big Data

########## TOPICS

Topics of interests for the special issue include, but are not limited to:

- Dynamic semantics and responsive semantic annotation methods
- Stream Reasoning
- Pattern discovery across heterogeneous data streams
- Adaptable and reconfigurable learning methods for multi-modal data
streams
- Quality of Information (QoI) in federated heterogeneous data streams
- Scalability and performance analysis
- Generating meaningful associations across multiple sources of streaming
information
- Abstracting and modelling data streams at the semantic level
- Integrating semantic stream models with massive data collections
- Distribution techniques and load balancing
- Use-cases and applications dealing with the variety and velocity
dimensions of Big Data
