Data has become a valuable asset like never before. Today the challenge is not a shortage of data but the need for techniques and methods capable enough to be able to glean valuable insights from the fast-flowing mass of Big Data. This new volume, Handbook of Research for Big Data: Concepts and Techniques, helps to meet the challenge of managing and using Big Data by presenting new research on various technological advances in the field. The chapters in the book present information on important applications, concepts, and technologies for Big Data in the present industry and market scenario. It looks at research domain issues and their solutions as well as various research case studies, research plans, methodologies, and related data sets for the four Vs: volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Chapters discuss Big Data in governance, transportation, disaster management, epidemiology, and more. The book covers design and analysis of reconfigurable computing of SoC for IoT, data mining techniques and applications, the use of natural language processing in big data, and more. The volume is a valuable resource for researchers from both academia and industry to learn about and enhance their knowledge and skills in the broad area of big data computing and applications.
