Data through the Computational Lens

Today, many advanced studies in computational science are enforced by data collected and processed in distributed systems, obtained and assimilated in real (or near-real) time, used to identify and build models, or even used for advanced visualization to have insights through visual images. Taking such an important role of data into account, 16th International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2016), an event that promotes leading-edge research in the area, proposed the special theme “Data through the Computational Lens” to bring diverse ideas and recent developments together from computational science society aimed towards this vector. This special issue contains extended papers selected from the conference proceedings that promotes leading edge research.
