Description
A plethora of applications make use of massive amounts of data, usually called big data that, besides being huge in volumes, include a variety of information collected from heterogeneous sources, usually at very high speed. Specific techniques are needed to handle and to dig into big data so as to extract knowledge, and, by engineering solutions, transform this knowledge into value.
Dedicated data storage platforms are typically based on parallel approaches to access and process the data in an efficient way, possibly relying on distributed architectures to achieve scalability, reliability, robustness to faults. Algorithms are needed to efficiently mine and process the data and to ease the knowledge extraction from the data, through data representation and visualization, correlation detection, rule mining and machine learning.
