The chapter addresses the problems of digital divide in the light of learning from data in the era of accumulated, available, and accessible Big Data. The phenomenon of Big Data arose in the last years and offered new dimensions of digital divide: the challenge that the human society faces since the appearance of computer technology. Objectives of this chapter are to highlight problems and barriers in learning from Big Data and to initiate discussion on the ways to overcome those new challenges. The chapter tries to define the “Big Data Phenomenon,” to identify the phases and activities in the process of learning from data, and to relate them to learning from Big Data. As a result, a paradigm of competences and barriers for acquiring Big Data literacy are proposed as a new dimension of literacy in dividing the human society.

AbstractNew challenges in the dynamically changing business environment require companies to experience digital transformation and more effective use of Big Data generated in their expanding online business activities. A possible solution for solving real business problems concerning Big Data resources is proposed in this paper. The defined Agile Elastic Desktop Corporate Architecture for Big Data is based on virtualizing the unused desktop resources and organizing them in order to serve the needs of Big Data processing, thus saving resources needed for additional infrastructure in an organization. The specific corporate business needs are analyzed within the developed R&D environment and, based on that, the unused desktop resources are customized and configured into required Big Data tools. The R&D environment of the proposed Agile Elastic Desktop Corporate Architecture for Big Data could be implemented on the available unused resources of hundreds desktops.

Abstract With the development of the times, computer technology is booming, so the network is becoming more and more complex, software design is becoming more and more complex, because of the protection against a variety of internal or external risks. The internal risk is that the traffic carried by the system is too large to cause the system to crash or the system to crash caused by the code operation error, and the external threat is that hackers use computer technology to break into the system according to security vulnerabilities, so the purpose of this paper is based on big data technology, the software complexity of complex networks is measured and studied. With the consent of the school, we used the school’s internal network data, and after consulting the literature on the complex construction and analysis of complex networks and software, modeled and analyzed it using the improved particle group algorithm. The experimental results show that there is a certain correlation between complex network and software complexity. Because complex networks determine that software requires complex construction to withstand potential risks to keep the software running properly.

Emergence of big data in today’s world leads to new challenges for sorting strategies to analyze the data in a better way. For most of the analyzing technique, sorting is considered as an implicit attribute of the technique used. The availability of huge data has changed the way data is analyzed across industries. Healthcare is one of the notable areas where data analytics is making big changes. An efficient analysis has the potential to reduce costs of treatment and improve the quality of life in general. Healthcare industries are collecting massive amounts of data and look for the best strategies to use these numbers. This research proposes a novel non-comparison based approach to sort a large data that can further be utilized by any big data analytical technique for various analyses.

This chapter explores the challenges that emerge from a narrow understanding of the principles underpinning Big data, framed in the context of the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics. This study considers the materiality of computerised data and examines how notions of data access, data sampling, data sense-making and data collection are nowadays contested by datafied public and private bodies, hindering the capacity of citizens to effectively understand and make better use of the data they generate or engage with. The study offers insights from secondary and documentary research and its results suggest that understanding data in less constraining terms, namely: a) as capable of secondary agency, b) as the vital fluid of societal institutions, c) as gathered or accessed by new data brokers and through new technologies and techniques, and d) as mediated by the constant interplay between public and corporate spheres and philosophies, could greatly enhance the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in the framework of current efforts to advance data literacy.

A lot of millennials have been educated in gamified schools where they played Kahoot several times per week, and where applications like Classcraft made them feel like the protagonists of a videogame in which they had to accumulate points to be able to level up. All those that were educated in a gamified environment feel it is natural and logical that gamification is used in all areas. For this reason, gamification is increasingly becoming important in different fields including financial services, bringing new challenges. Gamification allows financial institutions to provide personalized and compelling experiences. Big data and artificial intelligence techniques are called to play an essential role in the gamification of financial services. This chapter aims to explore the possibilities of using artificial intelligence and big data techniques to support gamified financial services which are essential for digital natives but also increasingly important for digital immigrants.

Mobile technologies have given rise to tremendous amounts of data in real-time, which can be unstructured and uncertain. This growth can be attributed as Mobile Big Data and provides new challenges and opportunities for innovation. This chapter attempts to define the concept of Mobile Big Data, provide description of various sources of Mobile Big Data and discuss SWAI (Sources Warehousing Analytics Insights) model of Big Data processing. To understand this complex concept, it is important to visualize the Big Data ecosystem, respective players. Moreover, mobile computing, Internet of things, and other associated technologies have been discussed in light of marketing and communications based applications. The current trends in Mobile Big Data and associated value chain help us understand where the next frontiers of innovation are and how one can create value. This is linked to the future aspects of the Mobile Big Data and evolution of technologies from now onwards.

This chapter explores the role of intelligence in strategy. It first explains what intelligence is and how strategists have talked about its utility before discussing the development of U.S. intelligence in its early efforts to support cold war strategies of containment and deterrence and in its more recent support to strategies for counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. It then examines the challenges and causes of ‘strategic surprise’, focusing on the historical cases of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the Yom Kippur War in 1973, and the 11 September 2001 attacks. It also describes some of the new challenges faced by intelligence after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as in dealing with the new ‘big data’ problem.
