This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th IFIP International Conference on Distributed
Applications and Interoperable Systems DAIS 2016 held in Heraklion Crete Greece in June
2016. The 13 papers presented together with 3 short papers in this volume were carefully
reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They represent a compelling sample of the
state-of-the-art in the area of distributed applications and interoperable systems. Cloud
computing and services received a large emphasis this year.
