With the heterogeneity and collaboration of many wireless operators (2G/3G/4G/5G/Wi-Fi), the priority is to effectively manage shared radio resources and ensure transparent user movement, which includes mechanisms such as mobility support, handover, quality of service (QoS), security and pricing. This requires considering the transition from the current mobile network architecture to a new paradigm based on collecting and storing information in big data for further analysis and decision making. For this reason, the management of big data analytics-driven networks in a cloud environment is an urgent issue, as the growth of its volume is becoming a challenge for today’s mobile infrastructure. Thus, we have formalized the problem of access network selection to improve the quality of mobile services through the efficient use of heterogeneous wireless network resources and optimal horizontal–vertical handover procedures. We proposed a method for adaptive selection of a wireless access node in a heterogeneous environment. A structural diagram of the optimization stages for wireless heterogeneous networks was developed, making it possible to improve the efficiency of their functioning. A model for studying the processes of functioning of a heterogeneous network environment is proposed. This model uses the methodology of big data evaluation to perform data transmission monitoring, analysis of tasks generated by network users, and statistical output of vertical handover initiation in (2G/3G/4G/5G/Wi-Fi) mobile communication infrastructure. The model allows studying the issues of optimization of operators’ networks by implementing the algorithm of redistribution of its network resources and providing flexible load balancing with QoS users in mind. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions is evaluated, and the performance of the heterogeneous network is increased by 16% when using the method of static reservation of network resources, compared to homogeneous networks, and another 13% when using a uniform distribution of resources and a dynamic process of their reservation, as well as compared to the previous method. An appropriate self-optimizing technique based on vertical handover for load balancing in heterogeneous wireless networks, using big data analytics, improves the QoS for users.

The volume of data in today's applications has meant a change in the way Machine Learning issues are addressed. Indeed, the Big Data scenario involves scalability constraints that can only be achieved through intelligent model design and the use of distributed technologies. In this context, solutions based on the Spark platform have established themselves as a de facto standard. In this contribution, we focus on a very important framework within Big Data Analytics, namely classification with imbalanced datasets. The main characteristic of this problem is that one of the classes is underrepresented, and therefore it is usually more complex to find a model that identifies it correctly. For this reason, it is common to apply preprocessing techniques such as oversampling to balance the distribution of examples in classes. In this work we present SMOTE-BD, a fully scalable preprocessing approach for imbalanced classification in Big Data. It is based on one of the most widespread preprocessing solutions for imbalanced classification, namely the SMOTE algorithm, which creates new synthetic instances according to the neighborhood of each example of the minority class. Our novel development is made to be independent of the number of partitions or processes created to achieve a higher degree of efficiency. Experiments conducted on different standard and Big Data datasets show the quality of the proposed design and implementation.

The concept of a smart city as a means to enhance the life quality of citizens has been gaining increasing importance in recent years globally. A smart city consists of city infrastructure, which includes smart services, devices, and institutions. Every second, these components of the smart city infrastructure are generating data. The vast amount of data is called big data. This chapter explores the possibilities of using big data analytics to prevent cybersecurity threats in a smart city. It also analyzed how big data tools and concepts can solve cybersecurity challenges and detect and prevent attacks. Using interviews and an extensive review of the literature have developed the data analytics and cyber prevention model. The chapter concludes by indicating that big data analytics allow a smart city to identify and solve cybersecurity challenges quickly and efficiently.

Cloud computing has transpired as a new model for managing and delivering applications as services efficiently. Convergence of cloud computing with technologies such as wireless sensor networking, Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data analytics offers new applications' of cloud services. This paper proposes a cloud-based autonomic information system for delivering Agriculture-as-a-Service (AaaS) through the use of cloud and big data technologies. The proposed system gathers information from various users through preconfigured devices and IoT sensors and processes it in cloud using big data analytics and provides the required information to users automatically. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated in Cloud environment and experimental results show that the proposed system offers better service and the Quality of Service (QoS) is also better in terms of QoS parameters.

The Internet of Things (IoT), inspired by the tremendous growth of connected heterogeneous devices, has pioneered the notion of smart city. Various components, i.e., smart transportation, smart community, smart healthcare, smart grid, etc. which are integrated within smart city architecture aims to enrich the quality of life (QoL) of urban citizens. However, real-time processing requirements and exponential data growth withhold smart city realization. Therefore, herein we propose a Big Data analytics (BDA)-embedded experimental architecture for smart cities. Two major aspects are served by the BDA-embedded smart city. Firstly, it facilitates exploitation of urban Big Data (UBD) in planning, designing, and maintaining smart cities. Secondly, it occupies BDA to manage and process voluminous UBD to enhance the quality of urban services. Three tiers of the proposed architecture are liable for data aggregation, real-time data management, and service provisioning. Moreover, offline and online data processing tasks are further expedited by integrating data normalizing and data filtering techniques to the proposed work. By analyzing authenticated datasets, we obtained the threshold values required for urban planning and city operation management. Performance metrics in terms of online and offline data processing for the proposed dual-node Hadoop cluster is obtained using aforementioned authentic datasets. Throughput and processing time analysis performed with regard to existing works guarantee the performance superiority of the proposed work. Hence, we can claim the applicability and reliability of implementing proposed BDA-embedded smart city architecture in the real world.
