Data is growing at an exponential rate and recently, the term “Big Data” has been commonly used in the research community, industry, and government. Big data is typically characterized by not only volume but also variety (of various information sources), and velocity (of complex analytical processing).
Big data cuts across a wide spectrum of domains such as Web, social networks,cloud,mobile,sensor networks,and multimedia/streaming with several application verticals such as business, government (e.g. emergency management), healthcare, transportation, biosciences, energy utilities, and scientific computing.
In this talk we present an overview of big data and discuss example application in the area of emergency management and some related research Challenges. |
