“Information Management in Industry 4.0” being the main theme of the Symposium, IMCW2016 aims to bring together information professionals, digital archivists, data scientists, computer engineers and business people to discuss the ways in which effective information management practices dealing with large amounts of data in the Industry 4.0 Era will be implemented. As organizers, we thought this is an opportune time for IMCW2016 to review the challenges of Industry 4.0 for data centers, information organizations, digital libraries and archives in terms of networking smart resources (e.g., products, things and objects), people and databases to provide value-added services.
