The Big Data Research Ecosystem

By its fundamental characteristic, the big data ecosystem is highly conjectural and is susceptible to continuous and rapid evolution in line with developments in technology and opportunities, a situation that predisposes the field to research in very brief time spans. Against this background, both academics and practitioners oddly have a limited understanding of how organizations translate potential into actual social and economic value. This chapter conducts an in-depth systematic review of existing penchants in the rapidly developing field of big data research and, thereafter, systematically reviewed these studies to identify some of their weaknesses and challenges. The authors argue that, in practice, most of big data surveys do not focus on technologies, and instead present algorithms and approaches employed to process big data.

Ces fonctions dependent seulement de deux parametres: l'un caracteristique de la vitesse du fluide a l'exterieur de la couche limite; l'autre caracteristique du profil de la paroi.

The city is home of of South Africa's oldest universities, the University of Cape Town (UCT), founded in 1829. UCT is additionally one of Africa's leading teaching and research institution led by world-renowned research groups and was co-sponsor of the conference.

Despite the popularity of the CoP approach within industries and the medical education, the practice of using it in engineering education is not widespread as most educators have limited knowledge of how to implement CoP into their classrooms. Moreover, it is not clear from the engineering education literature how the implementation of CoP has enhanced conceptual understanding and imparted employable skills to learners. To address these concerns, available literature detailing the implementation of CoP across professional disciplines and education sector over the past one and half decades were evaluated with a view to identifying and documenting evidences of current practices of CoP, and subsequently developed into a framework for redesigning an important aspect of engineering curricula: work integrated learning (WIL). This will have an objective to successfully enhance conceptual understanding and impart employable skills to learners.

Big Data Intelligence and Perspectives in Darwinian Disruption

AI and Big Data’s Potential for Disruptive Innovation

Every industry will be confronted with the same Darwinian pressure of excellence and adaptation, and must conjointly be supported by the major stakeholder, the ultimate client. Authenticated by the hypothesis that big data intelligence has the potential of Darwinian disruption, the objective of this chapter was to identify the most recent worldwide research trends in the field of big data intelligence and its most relevant research areas. A social network analysis tool was employed to interpret the interrelationship between generated keywords and key phrases. The resulting taxonomy of published peer-reviewed scientific papers was bibliographically analyzed. This investigation permitted all manner of social and business interests underpinned by this technology to understand what to emb...
