Information and Big Data Management

Brief Description

Everyday, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data– so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. Big Data is defined as techniques and technologies, which make capturing value from data at extreme scale economical. Big Data is high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety (3Vs) information assets that demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight and decision-making. One example of big data analytics is Machine Learning, a specific subset of AI that trains a machine how to learn, makes it possible to quickly and automatically produce models that can analyze bigger, more complex data and deliver faster, more accurate results, even on a very large scale. A wider application of big data analytics is within the area known as Industry 4.0. This involves automation and data exchange, primarily in production technologies, using cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. Industry 4.0 does not start and end with supply chain or production. Its reach could be much broader, affecting every industry and sector, even society itself.
