Big Datais a buzzword affecting nearly every domain and providing different set new opportunity for the development of knowledge discovery process. Although it comes with challengeslike abundance, extensiveness and diversity, timeliness and dynamism, messiness and vagueness, and with an uncertainty as all the data generated does not relates to any specific question and can be associated with another process or activity. To address these challenges are certainly cannot be handled by the traditional infrastructure, platforms and frameworks. New analytical techniques and high performance computing architecture came into picture to handle this explosion. These platforms and architecture are giving a cutting edge to the Big Data Knowledge Discovery process by using Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Expert systems. This study encompasses a comprehensive review of Big Data analytical platforms and frameworks with their comparative analysis. A Knowledge Discovery architecture for Big Data Analytics is also proposed while considering the fundamental aspect of gaining insights from Big Data sets and focus of this analysis is to provide the open challenges associated with these techniques and future research directions.

Big Data Technologies

The Governments, military forces and other organisations responsible for cybersecurity deal with vast amounts of data that has to be understood in order to lead to intelligent decision making. Due to the vast amounts of information pertinent to cybersecurity, automation is required for processing and decision making, specifically to present advance warning of possible threats. The ability to detect patterns in vast data sets, and being able to understanding the significance of detected patterns are essential in the cyber defence domain. Big data technologies supported by semantic technologies can improve cybersecurity, and thus cyber defence by providing support for the processing and understanding of the huge amounts of information in the cyber environment. The term big data analytics refers to advanced analytic techniques such as machine learning, predictive analysis, and other intelligent processing techniques applied to large data sets that contain different data types. The purpose is to detect patterns, correlations, trends and other useful information. Semantic technologies is a knowledge representation paradigm where the meaning of data is encoded separately from the data itself. The use of semantic technologies such as logic-based systems to support decision making is becoming increasingly popular. However, most automated systems are currently based on syntactic rules. These rules are generally not sophisticated enough to deal with the complexity of decisions required to be made. The incorporation of semantic information allows for increased understanding and sophistication in cyber defence systems. This paper argues that both big data analytics and semantic technologies are necessary to provide counter measures against cyber threats. An overview of the use of semantic technologies and big data technologies in cyber defence is provided, and important areas for future research in the combined domains are discussed.

Chain Transformation

Big data has emerged as the new frontier in supply chain management; however, few firms know how to embrace big data and capitalize on its value. The non-stop production of massive amounts of data on various digital platforms has prompted academics and practitioners to focus on the data economy. Companies must rethink how to harness big data and take full advantage of its possibilities. Big data analytics can help them in giving valuable insights. This chapter provides an overview of big data analytics use in the supply chain field and underlines its potential role in the supply chain transformation. The results show that big data analytics techniques can be categorized into three types: descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. These techniques influence supply chain processes and create business value. This study sets out future research directions.

Hiv Aids

HIV/AIDS big data analytics evolved as a potential initiative enabling the connection between three major scientific disciplines: (1) the HIV biology emergence and evolution; (2) the clinical and medical complex problems and practices associated with the infections and diseases; and (3) the computational methods for the mining of HIV/AIDS biological, medical, and clinical big data. This chapter provides a review on the computational and data mining perspectives on HIV/AIDS in big data era. The chapter focuses on the research opportunities in this domain, identifies the challenges facing the development of big data analytics in HIV/AIDS domain, and then highlights the future research directions of big data in the healthcare sector.

This chapter describes data integration issues in big data analytics and proposes an integrated data integration framework for big data analytics. The main focus of this chapter is to address the issues of data integration from the architectural point of view. Addressing the issues of data integration from the architectural point of view will lead to a better understanding of the current situation and better construction of proposed solutions to those issues since architectural approach can give us a holistic and comprehensive view of the problems. The chapter also discusses future research directions of the proposed integrated data architecture framework.

In this chapter, we will introduce practical issues and implementation challenges from the industry perspective. In particular, we explain three aspects based on the panel discussions from the set of representatives participated in a big data conference from three dominant industries such as e-commerce, health care and computer hardware, which are sought of big data for their growth and development. We introduce overall challenges and explain typical industry based practical issues, how they visualize the big picture for their strategic development and how industries are gearing towards converting the challenges to big opportunities through the partnership of universities. Finally, based on the content analysis we offer potential trends and future research directions.

Abstract. Though big data research has undergone dramatic developments in recent decades, it has mainly been applied in disciplines such as computer science and business. Psychology research that applies big data to examine research issues in psychology is largely lacking. One of the major challenges regarding the use of big data in psychology is that many researchers in the field may not have sufficient knowledge of big data analytical techniques that are rooted in computer science. This paper integrates the split/analyze/meta-analyze (SAM) approach and a multilevel framework to illustrate how to use the SAM approach to address multilevel research questions with big data. Specifically, we first introduce the SAM approach and then illustrate how to implement this to integrate two big datasets at the firm level and country level. Finally, we discuss theoretical and practical implications, proposing future research directions for psychology scholars.

Cybersecurity analysts rely on vast volumes of security event data to predict, identify, characterize, and deal with security threats. These analysts must understand and make sense of these huge datasets in order to discover patterns which lead to intelligent decision making and advance warnings of possible threats, and this ability requires automation. Big data analytics and artificial intelligence can improve cyber defense. Big data analytics methods are applied to large data sets that contain different data types. The purpose is to detect patterns, correlations, trends, and other useful information. Artificial intelligence provides algorithms that can reason or learn and improve their behavior, and includes semantic technologies. A large number of automated systems are currently based on syntactic rules which are generally not sophisticated enough to deal with the level of complexity in this domain. An overview of artificial intelligence and big data technologies in cyber defense is provided, and important areas for future research are identified and discussed.
