Intelligent Management and Efficient Operation of Big Data
This chapter details how Big Data can be used and implemented in networking
and computing infrastructures. Specifically, it addresses three main aspects:
the timely extraction of relevant knowledge from heterogeneous, and very often
unstructured large data sources, the enhancement on the performance of
processing and networking (cloud) infrastructures that are the most important
foundational pillars of Big Data applications or services, and novel ways to
efficiently manage network infrastructures with high-level composed policies
for supporting the transmission of large amounts of data with distinct
requisites (video vs. non-video). A case study involving an intelligent
management solution to route data traffic with diverse requirements in a wide
area Internet Exchange Point is presented, discussed in the context of Big
Data, and evaluated.Comment: In book Handbook of Research on Trends and Future Directions in Big

Mapping Big Data into Knowledge Space with Cognitive Cyber-Infrastructure
Big data research has attracted great attention in science, technology,
industry and society. It is developing with the evolving scientific paradigm,
the fourth industrial revolution, and the transformational innovation of
technologies. However, its nature and fundamental challenge have not been
recognized, and its own methodology has not been formed. This paper explores
and answers the following questions: What is big data? What are the basic
methods for representing, managing and analyzing big data? What is the
relationship between big data and knowledge? Can we find a mapping from big
data into knowledge space? What kind of infrastructure is required to support
not only big data management and analysis but also knowledge discovery, sharing
and management? What is the relationship between big data and science paradigm?
What is the nature and fundamental challenge of big data computing? A
multi-dimensional perspective is presented toward a methodology of big data
computing.Comment: 59 page
Sketch of Big Data Real-Time Analytics Model
Big Data has drawn huge attention from researchers in information sciences, decision makers in governments and enterprises. However, there is a lot of potential and highly useful value hidden in the huge volume of data. Data is the new oil, but unlike oil data can be refined further to create even more value. Therefore, a new scientific paradigm is born as data-intensive scientific discovery, also known as Big Data. The growth volume of real-time data requires new techniques and technologies to discover insight value. In this paper we introduce the Big Data real-time analytics model as a new technique. We discuss and compare several Big Data technologies for real-time processing along with various challenges and issues in adapting Big Data. Real-time Big Data analysis based on cloud computing approach is our future research direction
Extracting News Events from Microblogs
Twitter stream has become a large source of information for many people, but
the magnitude of tweets and the noisy nature of its content have made
harvesting the knowledge from Twitter a challenging task for researchers for a
long time. Aiming at overcoming some of the main challenges of extracting the
hidden information from tweet streams, this work proposes a new approach for
real-time detection of news events from the Twitter stream. We divide our
approach into three steps. The first step is to use a neural network or deep
learning to detect news-relevant tweets from the stream. The second step is to
apply a novel streaming data clustering algorithm to the detected news tweets
to form news events. The third and final step is to rank the detected events
based on the size of the event clusters and growth speed of the tweet
frequencies. We evaluate the proposed system on a large, publicly available
corpus of annotated news events from Twitter. As part of the evaluation, we
compare our approach with a related state-of-the-art solution. Overall, our
experiments and user-based evaluation show that our approach on detecting
current (real) news events delivers a state-of-the-art performance
