Nearly real time data processing and time critical cloud applications, Proceedings of the 2nd International workshop on Interoperable infrastructures for interdisciplinary big data sciences (IT4RIs 16)

The workshop for "interoperable infrastructures for interdisciplinary big data science (IT4RIs)" focuses on practical aspects of the design, development and operation of research e-infrastructure and virtual research environments, as well as the interaction between ICT infrastructure and user communities. This year, the workshop specifically highlights two important topics in those contexts: nearly real-time data processing and time-critical applications in Clouds. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and developers to exchange their experiences and ideas on building nearly real-time data processing solutions, and models for programming, executing and controlling time-critical applications on virtualized infrastructures (e.g., Clouds).
