Wireless sensor networks are collecting huge amounts of heterogeneous data for a wide variety of application domains thanks to their
ability to operate in remote, distributed and harsh spatial environments. However, their limited memory, computation capabilities
and battery lifetime are preventing them from processing the collected data appropriately. The increasing requirements to carry
out various types of processing in real time are increasing the need for powerful and scalable high-performance computing and
massive storage infrastructures.

Recent advances in cloud computing and big data are allowing significant amounts of data to be conveniently structured, stored,
navigated, processed, queried and visualised, with extended scalability and flexibility and at low cost. Cloud computing and
big data technologies are therefore providing attractive opportunities in complementing and supporting sensor network operations.
The integration of these three technologies is creating new research and development opportunities towards supporting real-time
event processing and management within large-scale infrastructures.

For this special issue, authors are invited to submit original contributions that address the use of cloud computing and
big data technologies to improve current and future design and development of wireless sensor networks.
