Aim
===
In light of the dramatic growth of Big Data
analytics and data intensive computing and relating technologies, the aim
of
the Journal is to publish state-of-the-art articles in this field. The
Journal
is intended for a wide variety of readers including academicians,
developers,
educators, engineers, practitioners, researchers, and graduate students.

Description of the field
========================
Big Data Analytics is no longer a specialized solution for cutting-edge
technology
companies; it refers to a cost-effective way to store and analyze large
volume
of data across many industries. The applications of Big Data include health
care and life sciences; supply chain, logistics, and manufacturing; online
services and Web analytics; financial services; energy and utilities;
media and
telecommunications; and retail and consumer products. Big Data can be
defined
via three Vs: volume, velocity, and variety. Volume refers to the raw
scale of
records, transactions, tables, and files; velocity includes batch
processing,
near time, real-time, and streaming; while variety includes structured,
unstructured, and semi-structured data. The Journal will focus on articles
discussing Big Data challenges including data capture and storage; search,
sharing, and analytics; Big Data technologies; and data visualization. A
special
focus will be given to Big Data technologies including architectures for
massively parallel processing, data mining tools and techniques, machine
learning algorithms for Big Data, distributed file systems and databases,
cloud
computing platforms, and scalable storage systems.
