Contents of the Session
==========================
New sensors and network capabilities have enhanced the use of technology in a wide spread of fields, such as petroleum ducts, health services, education, factories, etc. The data availability has become a new problem, where Big Data technologies focus in the management and visualization of relevant information within the data flow. Furthermore, Machine Learning and Soft-Computing are techniques that have allow to extract knowledge from these streams of data. This special session focuses on solutions to all these problems and technologies, accepting studies that deals with IoT systems, Big Data solutions, Cyber Physical problems and the use of Soft-Computing and Machine Learning applied in these scenarios.
