Thisbook covers three major parts of Big Data: concepts, theories andapplications. Written by world-renowned leaders in Big Data, this book exploresthe problems, possible solutions and directions for Big Data in research andpractice. It also focuses on high level concepts such as definitionsof Big Data from different angles; surveys in research and applications; andexisting tools, mechanisms, and systems in practice. Each chapter is independentfrom the other chapters, allowing users to read any chapter directly.
After examining the practical sideof Big Data, this book presents theoretical perspectives. The theoreticalresearch ranges from Big Data representation, modeling and topology todistribution and dimension reducing. Chapters also investigate the manydisciplines that involve Big Data, such as statistics, data mining, machinelearning, networking, algorithms, security and differential geometry. The lastsection of this book introduces Big Data applications from differentcommunities, such as business, engineering and science.
Big Data Concepts, Theories and Applications is designed as a reference for researchersand advanced level students in computer science, electrical engineering andmathematics. Practitioners who focus on information systems, big data, datamining, business analysis and other related fields will also find thismaterial valuable.

About the author
Dr. Shui Yureceived the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from University
of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, P. R. China, in 1993
and 1999, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from Deakin University, Victoria,
Australia, in 2004. He is currently a Senior Lecturer with the School of
Information Technology, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. He has
published around 100 peer review papers; many of them are in top journals and
top conferences, such as IEEE TPDS, IEEE TIFS, IEEE TFS, IEEE TMC, and IEEE
INFOCOM. His research interests include networking theory, network security,
and mathematical modeling. Dr. Yu actively serves his research communities in
various roles, which include the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on
Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials,
and three other international journals, TPC of IEEE INFOCOM, symposium
co-chairs of IEEE ICC 2014, IEEE ICNC 2013 and 2104, and many different roles
of international conference organizing committees. He is a senior member of
IEEE, and a member of AAAS.
Dr. Song Guoreceived the PhD degree in
computer science from the University of Ottawa, Canada in 2005. He is currently
a Senior Associate Professor at School of Computer Science and Engineering, the
University of Aizu, Japan. His research interests are mainly in the areas of
protocol design and performance analysis for reliable, energy-efficient, and
cost effective communications in wireless networks. Dr. Guo is an associate
editor of the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and three
other journals, and an editor of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing.
He has published over 120 papers in referred journals and conferences. He
received the Best Paper Awards at IEEE HPCC 2008 and IEEE SCE 2011, the
Outstanding Leadership Award at IEEE ISPA 2008, the Outstanding Service Award
at IEEE ICESS 2010, and the prestigious Information Technology Award of Funai
Foundation for Information Technology 2008. He guest edited special issues in
IEEE Transactions on Emergent Topics in Computing, and four other journals. He
has also served on organizing committees and program committees for over 70
international conferences and workshops, like IEEE INFOCOM 2012, IEEE MASS
2011, IEEE WCNC 2008-2012, PIMRC 2009-2011, etc. He is a senior member of the
IEEE and the ACM.
Summary
This
book covers three major parts of Big Data: concepts, theories and
applications. Written by world-renowned leaders in Big Data, this book explores
the problems, possible solutions and directions for Big Data in research and
practice. It also focuses on high level concepts such as definitions
of Big Data from different angles; surveys in research and applications; and
existing tools, mechanisms, and systems in practice. Each chapter is independent
from the other chapters, allowing users to read any chapter directly.
After examining the practical side
of Big Data, this book presents theoretical perspectives. The theoretical
research ranges from Big Data representation, modeling and topology to
distribution and dimension reducing. Chapters also investigate the many
disciplines that involve Big Data, such as statistics, data mining, machine
learning, networking, algorithms, security and differential geometry. The last
section of this book introduces Big Data applications from different
communities, such as business, engineering and science.
Big Data Concepts, Theories and Applications is designed as a reference for researchers
and advanced level students in computer science, electrical engineering and
mathematics. Practitioners who focus on information systems, big data, data
mining, business analysis and other related fields will also find this
material valuable.
