Applications of Big Data in Large and Small Systems
Nowadays, big data is available in every field due to the advent of computers and electronic devices and the advancement of technology. However, analysis of this data requires new technology as the earlier designed traditional tools and techniques are not sufficient. There is an urgent need for innovative methods and technologies to resolve issues and challenges. Soft computing approaches have proved successful in handling voluminous data and generating solutions for them. This chapter focuses on basic concepts of big data along with the fundamental of various soft computing approaches that give a basic understanding of three major soft computing paradigms to students. It further gives a combination of these approaches namely hybrid soft computing approaches. Moreover, it also poses different applications dealing with big data where soft computing approaches are being successfully used. Further, it comes out with research challenges faced by the community of researchers.
