Report
"Information Science is on the cusp of defining the transition from Big Data to Knowledge. This movement is being fueled by an urgency in addressing grand challenges in fields as diverse as health, public safety and climate change. Domain experts in these fields are looking to information science to provide a quantitative basis for solving hard problems in their data-intensive fields....Prof. Ahamed's book represents a rigorous and optimistic declaration of this revolutionary trend. I recommend it heartily to teachers and students in communications and computing, and to those in pursuit of incisive mathematical philosophy." --From the Foreword by Professor Dr. Nikil Jayant, Eminent Scholar (Emeritus), Georgia Research Alliance
