Computing and networking, data collection and analytics have been booming in the recent decades to manifest the coming big data era. Today, more and more data are being collected and analysed by organisations in order to make critical decisions. However, many challenges still need to be addressed; for example, the difficulty of tracking the versions of data sets in workflows, supporting data scientists in exploring subsets of data locally, sharing reproducible exploration and scaling up, and keeping semantic and physical consistency of views among distributed and multiple data stores. This special issue aims to present solutions to these challenges from both researchers and practitioners.
