Alani M.M.,Tawfik H., Saeed M., Anya O. Applications of Big Data Analytics: Trends, Issues, and Challenges

Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature, 2018. — 219 p. — ISBN: 978-3319764719.This timely text/reference reviews the state of the art of big data analytics, with a particular focus on practical applications. An authoritative selection of leading international researchers present detailed analyses of existing trends for storing and analyzing big data, together with valuable insights into the challenges inherent in current approaches and systems. This is further supported by real-world examples drawn from a broad range of application areas, including healthcare, education, and disaster management. The text also covers, typically from an application-oriented perspective, advances in data science in such areas as big data collection, searching, analysis, and knowledge discovery.
Big Data comes in high volume, velocity, and veracity, and from myriad sources, including log files, social media, apps, IoT, text, video, image, GPS, RFID, and smart cards. The process of storing and analyzing such data exceeds the capabilities of traditional database management systems and methods, and has given rise to a wide range of new technologies, platforms, and services — referred to as Big Data Analytics. Although the potential value of Big Data is enormous, the process and applications of Big Data Analytics have raised significant concerns and challenges across scientific, social science, and business communities.Topics and features:Discusses a model for data traffic aggregation in 5G cellular networks, and a novel scheme for resource allocation in 5G networks with network slicing
