<p>During past few years, data is growing exponentially attracting researchers to work a popular term, the Big Data. Big Data is observed in various fields, such as information technology, telecommunication, theoretical computing, mathematics, data mining and data warehousing. Data science is frequently referred with Big Data as it uses methods to scale down the Big Data. Currently<br />more than 3.2 billion of the world population is connected to internet out of which 46% are connected via smart phones. Over 5.5 billion people are using cell phones. As technology is rapidly shifting from ordinary cell phones towards smart phones, therefore proportion of using internet is also growing. There<br />is a forecast that by 2020 around 7 billion people at the globe will be using internet out of which 52% will be using their smart phones to connect. In year 2050 that figure will be touching 95% of world population. Every device connect to internet generates data. As majority of the devices are using smart phones to<br />generate this data by using applications such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Apple, Google, Google+, Twitter, Flickr etc., therefore this huge amount of data is becoming a big threat for telecom sector. This paper is giving a comparison of amount of Big Data generated by telecom industry. Based on the collected data<br />we use forecasting tools to predict the amount of Big Data will be generated in future and also identify threats that telecom industry will be facing from that huge amount of Big Data.</p>

AbstractData science is historically a complex field, not only because of the huge amount of data and its variety of formats, but also because the necessity of collaboration between several specialists to retrieve valuable information. In this context, we created Bio-DIA, an online software to build data science workflow process focused in the integration of data and algorithms. Bio-DIA also facilitates the reusability of information/results obtained in previous process without the need of specific skills from the computer science field. The software was created with Angular at the front-end, Django at the back-end together with Spark to handle and process a variety of big data formats. The workflow/project is specified through XML file. Bio-DIA application facilitated the collaboration among users, allowing researcher’s groups to share data, scripts and information.Availabilityhttps://ucrania.imd.ufrn.br/biodia-app/.

The Telecom Sector of India has grown over the years and emerged as the second largest today. The reliance Jio has planned to launch 5G in the second half of the 2021. since the launch of Jio we have seen a rapid penetration of Internet services in India. India has the 2nd largest telecom industry in India and the cheapest net provider to its people. There are 500 million active data users and by 2024 it is estimated to have more than 800 million active users and manufacture of 1 billion smart phones in the upcoming years. India is also working towards its objective to empower people digitally. We have seen a rise in the use of digital platform during the pandemic period and also India is taking it steps ahead towards digital economy. The sad reality behind this is even where India is about to launch 5G service in India 90% of the population in India are digitally illiterate with only 8% of the population have access to a laptop or a computer. India also has a poor cyber security system and the data is vulnerable of every user. We also have poor tower connection in many areas with only 25 % of the net is connected by fiber. India needs to upgrade its telecom industry and provide net facilitates to all its people as the Internet is going to dominate the future. India’s Telecom industry contributes to 6.5% of the GDP.

BACKGROUND The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) remains a serious global pandemic. Currently, all age groups are at risk for infection but the elderly and persons with underlying health conditions are at higher risk of severe complications. In the United States (US), the pandemic curve is rapidly changing with over 6,786,352 cases and 199,024 deaths reported. South Carolina (SC) as of 9/21/2020 reported 138,624 cases and 3,212 deaths across the state. OBJECTIVE The growing availability of COVID-19 data provides a basis for deploying Big Data science to leverage multitudinal and multimodal data sources for incremental learning. Doing this requires the acquisition and collation of multiple data sources at the individual and county level. METHODS The population for the comprehensive database comes from statewide COVID-19 testing surveillance data (March 2020- till present) for all SC COVID-19 patients (N≈140,000). This project will 1) connect multiple partner data sources for prediction and intelligence gathering, 2) build a REDCap database that links de-identified multitudinal and multimodal data sources useful for machine learning and deep learning algorithms to enable further studies. Additional data will include hospital based COVID-19 patient registries, Health Sciences South Carolina (HSSC) data, data from the office of Revenue and Fiscal Affairs (RFA), and Area Health Resource Files (AHRF). RESULTS The project was funded as of June 2020 by the National Institutes for Health. CONCLUSIONS The development of such a linked and integrated database will allow for the identification of important predictors of short- and long-term clinical outcomes for SC COVID-19 patients using data science.

Abstract The usage and exchange of “big data” is at the forefront of the data science agenda where Record Linkage plays a prominent role in biomedical research. In an era of ubiquitous data exchange and big data, Record Linkage is almost inevitable, but raises ethical and legal problems, namely personal data and privacy protection. Record Linkage refers to the general merging of data information to consolidate facts about an individual or an event that are not available in a separate record. This article provides an overview of ethical challenges and research opportunities in linking routine data on health and education with cohort data from very preterm (VPT) infants in Portugal. Portuguese, European and International law has been reviewed on data processing, protection and privacy. A three-stage analysis was carried out: i) interplay of threefold law-levelling for Record Linkage at different levels; ii) impact of data protection and privacy rights for data processing, iii) data linkage process' challenges and opportunities for research. A framework to discuss the process and its implications for data protection and privacy was created. The GDPR functions as utmost substantial legal basis for the protection of personal data in Record Linkage, and explicit written consent is considered the appropriate basis for the processing sensitive data. In Portugal, retrospective access to routine data is permitted if anonymised; for health data if it meets data processing requirements declared with an explicit consent; for education data if the data processing rules are complied. Routine health and education data can be linked to cohort data if rights of the data subject and requirements and duties of processors and controllers are respected. A strong ethical context through the application of the GDPR in all phases of research need to be established to achieve Record Linkage between cohort and routine collected records for health and education data of VPT infants in Portugal. Key messages GDPR is the most important legal framework for the protection of personal data, however, its uniform approach granting freedom to its Member states hampers Record Linkage processes among EU countries. The question remains whether the gap between data protection and privacy is adequately balanced at three legal levels to guarantee freedom for research and the improvement of health of data subjects.

AbstractThe MapReduce programming paradigm is frequently used in order to process and analyse a huge amount of data. This paradigm relies on the ability to apply the same operation in parallel on independent chunks of data. The consequence is that the overall performances greatly depend on the way data are partitioned among the various computation nodes. The default partitioning technique, provided by systems like Hadoop or Spark, basically performs a random subdivision of the input records, without considering the nature and correlation between them. Even if such approach can be appropriate in the simplest case where all the input records have to be always analyzed, it becomes a limit for sophisticated analyses, in which correlations between records can be exploited to preliminarily prune unnecessary computations. In this paper we design a context-based multi-dimensional partitioning technique, called CoPart, which takes care of data correlation in order to determine how records are subdivided between splits (i.e., units of work assigned to a computation node). More specifically, it considers not only the correlation of data w.r.t. contextual attributes, but also the distribution of each contextual dimension in the dataset. We experimentally compare our approach with existing ones, considering both quality criteria and the query execution times.
