Synopsis

Big data exists in a wide variety of data-intensive areas such as atmospheric science, genome research, astronomical studies, and network traffic monitor. Big data exists in a wide variety of data-intensive areas such as atmospheric science, genome research, astronomical studies, and network traffic monitor. Collecting, analysing and understanding Big Data is becoming a differentiated strategy today but it will become a fact of life tomorrow. A lot of work is done on big data. Now it is time to know its impact on welfare of the society. Therefore, the aim of the book is to understand real use cases, benefits, advantages, impact and future challenges. This book, ‘Impact of Big Data Analytics on Business, Economy, Health Care and Society’ is unique among those big-data books because of its great depth, technical approach and coverage of the emerging issues and approaches in various fields of Big Data like usecases,benefits and impact on society. The book is focused around the real-life implementation of Big Data technologies that will provide bold vision from leading innovators across the data-driven spectrum and help gain fresh insights and strategic momentum to grow further. The aim of this book is to be accessible to researchers, graduate students, and to application driven practitioners who work in data science, analytics and related fields. It is a timely and urgently needed publication as it provides the most up-to-date, crucial, and practical infor¬mation for big data use cases, benefits, advantages, and impact. Speciality of this book is that it covers important issues of big data from fundamental knowledge to application in various sectors along with its impact on society.

From the Back Cover

It is estimated that the total accumulated data stored on computers worldwide is about 300 exabytes. The annual transmission of data is estimated at about 1.9 zettabytes i.e.1900 billion gigabytes. Due to the tremendous amount of data generated daily from fields such as business, research, and sciences, big data is everywhere and represents huge opportunities to those who can use it effectively. In the past, this information was simply ignored and opportunities were missed. Realizing the great importance of big data, organizations scramble to find hidden information buried in big data and try to make the best use of it. Therefore, alternative management and processing methods have to be created to handle this complex and unstructured data size. The technologies that are incorporated into big data are massive parallelism, huge data volumes, data distribution, high-speed networks, high-performance computing, task and thread management, and data mining and analytics. Big Data is the result of practically everything in the world being monitored and measured; creating data faster than the available technologies can store, process or manage it. Presently there has been a surge of unstructured data, making up as much as 80% of new data that requires attention for management. Big Data results in three basic challenges: storing, processing and managing it efficiently. Scale-out architectures have been developed to store large amount of data and purpose-built appliances have improved the processing capability. The next frontier is learning how to manage Big Data throughout its entire lifecycle. To tackle the challenges of Big Data, novel approaches and tools have emerged. The technology required for big-data computing is developing at a satisfactory rate due to market forces and technological evolution. This book 'Impact of Big Data Analytics on Business, Economy, Health Care and Society'' presents real world cases that discuss the technical and practical issues. This book provides rich topics of big data use cases, technologies, tools, platforms, and impact of big data Analytics on society.
The well researched book reveals fully the impact of big data analytics on society. The book will certainly be invaluable to wide audiences of professionals, decision-makers, and consultants involved in analytics particularly the new comers in the areas. It will also be exceptionally useful to students of analytics in any graduate, undergraduate, or certificate program.
