Big data analytics:Computational intelligence techniques and application areas
Big Data has significant impact in developing functional smart cities and supporting modern societies. In this paper, we investigate the importance of Big Data in modern life and economy, and discuss challenges arising from Big Data utilization. Different computational intelligence techniques have been considered as tools for Big Data analytics. We also explore the powerful combination of Big Data and Computational Intelligence (CI) and identify a number of areas, where novel applications in real world smart city problems can be developed by utilizing these powerful tools and techniques. We present a case study for intelligent transportation in the context of a smart city, and a novel data modelling methodology based on a biologically inspired universal generative modelling approach called Hierarchical Spatial-Temporal State Machine (HSTSM). We further discuss various implications of policy, protection, valuation and commercialization related to Big Data, its applications and deployment
A Cyberinfrastructure for BigData Transportation Engineering
Big Data-driven transportation engineering has the potential to improve
utilization of road infrastructure, decrease traffic fatalities, improve fuel
consumption, decrease construction worker injuries, among others. Despite these
benefits, research on Big Data-driven transportation engineering is difficult
today due to the computational expertise required to get started. This work
proposes BoaT, a transportation-specific programming language, and it's Big
Data infrastructure that is aimed at decreasing this barrier to entry. Our
evaluation that uses over two dozen research questions from six categories show
that research is easier to realize as a BoaT computer program, an order of
magnitude faster when this program is run, and exhibits 12-14x decrease in
storage requirements
