<p class="MsoNormal">Over the years, huge
quantities of data have been generated by large-scale scientific experiments
(biomedical, “omic”, imaging, astronomical, etc.), big industrial companies and
on the web. One of the main characteristics of such Big Data is that they are
multi-view, i.e. there are multiple sources (in the “omics” sciences,
experiments related to mRNA, miRNA etc.), relate the same patterns (in this
case patients) or multi-domain (in biomedical applications for examples,
“omics, imaging and clinical data).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a consequence, new
methodologies based on neural networks, machine and statistical learning,
computation Intelligence and others, have been proposed to integrate these
kinds of big data and to elicit relevant information to infer novel models and
correlations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">The aim of the special
session is to solicit new approaches to real world scientific and industrial
big data integration, as well as applications of above mentioned Big Data
methodologies.<span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
