Download or read book Encyclopedia of Big Data written by Laurie A. Schintler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encyclopedia will be an essential resource for our times, reflecting the fact that we currently are living in an expanding data-driven world. Technological advancements and other related trends are contributing to the production of an astoundingly large and exponentially increasing collection of data and information, referred to in popular vernacular as “Big Data.” Social media and crowdsourcing platforms and various applications ― “apps” ― are producing reams of information from the instantaneous transactions and input of millions and millions of people around the globe. The Internet-of-Things (IoT), which is expected to comprise tens of billions of objects by the end of this decade, is actively sensing real-time intelligence on nearly every aspect of our lives and environment. The Global Positioning System (GPS) and other location-aware technologies are producing data that is specific down to particular latitude and longitude coordinates and seconds of the day. Large-scale instruments, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), are collecting massive amounts of data on our planet and even distant corners of the visible universe. Digitization is being used to convert large collections of documents from print to digital format, giving rise to large archives of unstructured data. Innovations in technology, in the areas of Cloud and molecular computing, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing (NLP), to name only a few, also are greatly expanding our capacity to store, manage, and process Big Data. In this context, the Encyclopedia of Big Data is being offered in recognition of a world that is rapidly moving from gigabytes to terabytes to petabytes and beyond. While indeed large data sets have long been around and in use in a variety of fields, the era of Big Data in which we now live departs from the past in a number of key respects and with this departure comes a fresh set of challenges and opportunities that cut across and affect multiple sectors and disciplines, and the public at large. With expanded analytical capacities at hand, Big Data is now being used for scientific inquiry and experimentation in nearly every (if not all) disciplines, from the social sciences to the humanities to the natural sciences, and more. Moreover, the use of Big Data has been well established beyond the Ivory Tower. In today’s economy, businesses simply cannot be competitive without engaging Big Data in one way or another in support of operations, management, planning, or simply basic hiring decisions. In all levels of government, Big Data is being used to engage citizens and to guide policy making in pursuit of the interests of the public and society in general. Moreover, the changing nature of Big Data also raises new issues and concerns related to, for example, privacy, liability, security, access, and even the veracity of the data itself. Given the complex issues attending Big Data, there is a real need for a reference book that covers the subject from a multi-disciplinary, cross-sectoral, comprehensive, and international perspective. The Encyclopedia of Big Data will address this need and will be the first of such reference books to do so. Featuring some 500 entries, from "Access" to "Zillow," the Encyclopedia will serve as a fundamental resource for researchers and students, for decision makers and leaders, and for business analysts and purveyors. Developed for those in academia, industry, and government, and others with a general interest in Big Data, the encyclopedia will be aimed especially at those involved in its collection, analysis, and use. Ultimately, the Encyclopedia of Big Data will provide a common platform and language covering the breadth and depth of the topic for different segments, sectors, and disciplines.

Download or read book Practices in Regional Science and Sustainable Regional Development written by R. B. Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the emerging trends and techniques incorporated in regional science during the first two decades of this millennium. The book includes systematic and analytical notes making scientific commentary on the innovative methods of regional development, measurement of the development, regional development models, and policy measures that have significant implications and wide applicability instrumental for India as well as the other global south countries. There is clear evidence in the global south of the uneven spatial distribution of resources, economic activities, literacy, and health conditions. The most striking fact is the coexistence of development and underdevelopment that makes the planning process complicated. This can hardly be explored without taking a deep insight into the matter of how the regional parameters are impacting regional society or economy to shape the development of that region. There can be no effective global policy framework that will be effective equally for each and every region to mitigate local issues of society or economy. It is here that the book integrates the efforts of practitioners working towards addressing these regional issues and striving for sustainable regional development through their innovative ideas. Through its contributions, the book addresses development issues, regional impact of climate change, social justice, migration, well-being, livelihood vulnerabilities, and regional urban-environmental issues from the standpoint of regional science. It is a significant resource for researchers of spatial science, and policy makers.

Download or read book Big Data A Very Short Introduction written by Dawn E. Holmes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since long before computers were even thought of, data has been collected and organized by diverse cultures across the world. Once access to the Internet became a reality for large swathes of the world's population, the amount of data generated each day became huge, and continues to grow exponentially. It includes all our uploaded documents, video, and photos, all our social media traffic, our online shopping, even the GPS data from our cars. 'Big Data' represents a qualitative change, not simply a quantitative one. The term refers both to the new technologies involved, and to the way it can be used by business and government. Dawn E. Holmes uses a variety of case studies to explain how data is stored, analysed, and exploited by a variety of bodies from big companies to organizations concerned with disease control. Big data is transforming the way businesses operate, and the way medical research can be carried out. At the same time, it raises important ethical issues; Holmes discusses cases such as the Snowden affair, data security, and domestic smart devices which can be hijacked by hackers. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Download or read book A Closer Look at Big Data Analytics written by R. Anandan and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Big Data Analytics is a field that dissects, efficiently extricates data from, or in any case manages informational indexes that are excessively huge or complex to be managed by customary information preparing application programming. Information with numerous cases (lines) offers more noteworthy factual force, while information with higher multifaceted nature may prompt a higher bogus disclosure rate. Enormous information challenges incorporate catching information, information stockpiling, information investigation, search, sharing, move, representation, and questioning, refreshing, data security and data source. Large information was initially connected with three key ideas: volume, variety and velocity. Consequently, huge information regularly incorporates information with sizes that surpass the limit of conventional programming to measure inside a satisfactory time and worth. Current utilization of the term enormous information will in general allude to the utilization of predictive analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other progressed information investigation techniques that concentrate an incentive from information, and sometimes to a specific size of informational index. There is little uncertainty that the amounts of information now accessible are undoubtedly enormous, however that is not the most important quality of this new information biological system. Investigation of informational indexes can discover new relationships to spot business patterns or models. Researchers, business persons, clinical specialists, promoting and governments consistently meet challenges with huge informational collections in territories including Internet look, fintech, metropolitan informatics, and business informatics. Researchers experience constraints in e-Science work, including meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex material science reproductions, science and ecological exploration. The main objective of this book is to write about issues, challenges, opportunities, and solutions in novel research projects about big data in various domains. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: efficient storage, management and sharing large scale of data; novel approaches for analyzing data using big data technologies; implementation of high performance and/or scalable and/or real-time computation algorithms for analyzing big data; usage of various data sources like historical data, social networking media, machine data and crowd-sourcing data; using machine learning, visual analytics, data mining, spatio-temporal data analysis and statistical inference in different domains (with large scale datasets); Legal and ethical issues and solutions for using, sharing and publishing large datasets; and the results of data analytics, security and privacy issues"--
