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.

Big data is a fast-growing technology that has the scope to mine huge amount of data to be used in various analytic applications. With large amount of data streaming in from a myriad of sources: social media, online transactions and ubiquity of smart devices, Big Data is practically garnering attention across all stakeholders from academics, banking, government, heath care, manufacturing and retail. Big Data refers to an enormous amount of data generated from disparate sources along with data analytic techniques to examine this voluminous data for predictive trends and patterns, to exploit new growth opportunities, to gain insight, to make informed decisions and optimize processes. Data-driven decision making is the essence of business establishments. The explosive growth of data is steering the business units to tap the potential of Big Data to achieve fueling growth and to achieve a cutting edge over their competitors. The overwhelming generation of data brings with it, its share of concerns. This paper discusses the concept of Big Data, its characteristics, the tools and techniques deployed by organizations to harness the power of Big Data and the daunting issues that hinder the adoption of Business Intelligence in Big Data strategies in organizations.

Summary Objective: The growing volume and diversity of health and biomedical data indicate that the era of Big Data has arrived for healthcare. This has many implications for informatics, not only in terms of implementing and evaluating information systems, but also for the work and training of informatics researchers and professionals. This article addresses the question: What do biomedical and health informaticians working in analytics and Big Data need to know? Methods: We hypothesize a set of skills that we hope will be discussed among academic and other informaticians. Results: The set of skills includes: Programming - especially with data-oriented tools, such as SQL and statistical programming languages; Statistics - working knowledge to apply tools and techniques; Domain knowledge - depending on one’s area of work, bioscience or health care; and Communication - being able to understand needs of people and organizations, and articulate results back to them. Conclusion: Biomedical and health informatics educational programs must introduce concepts of analytics, Big Data, and the underlying skills to use and apply them into their curricula. The development of new coursework should focus on those who will become experts, with training aiming to provide skills in “deep analytical talent” as well as those who need knowledge to support such individuals.

In modern warfare, the most important innovation to date has been the utilisation of information as a  weapon. The basis of successful military operations is  the ability to correctly assess a situation based on  credible collected information. In today’s military, the primary challenge is not the actual collection of data.  It has become more important to extract relevant  information from that data. This requirement cannot  be successfully completed without necessary  improvements in tools and techniques to support the acquisition and analysis of data. This study defines  Big Data and its concept as applied to military  reconnaissance, focusing on the processing of  imagery and textual data, bringing to light modern  data processing and analytics methods that enable  effective processing.

According to a continuously increasing amount of information in all aspects whether the sources are retrieved from an internal or external organization, a platform should be provided for the automation of whole processes in the collection, storage, and processing of Big Data. The tool for creating Big Data is a Big Data challenge. Furthermore, the security and privacy of Big Data and Big Data analysis in organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions also have an impact on the aspect of designing a Big Data platform for higher education institute (HEi). It is a digital learning platform that is an online instruction and the use of digital media for educational reform including a module provides information on functions of various modules between computers and humans. 1) Big Data architecture is a framework for an architecture of numerous data which consisting of Big Data Infrastructure (BDI), Data Storage (Cloud-based), processing of a computer system that uses all parts of computer resources for optimal efficiency (High-Performance Computing: HPC), a network system to detect the target device network. Thereafter, according to Hadoop’s tools and techniques, when Big Data was introduced with Hadoop's tools and techniques, the benefits of the Big Data platform would provide desired data analysis by retrieving existing information, to illustrate, student information and teaching information that is large amounts of information to adopt for accurate forecasting.
