MDS6109 Big Data Modeling and Management: Home

With the rapid development of high technology, all sorts of high-volume data are everywhere and booming exponentially. Only until recently, well-equipped computers are able to handle and analyze these large-scale data. Currently the most important challenge for researchers is how to process the big data, dig out the valuable information from the big data, and obtain meaningful insights from the information. The purpose of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge to familiarize students with the most important information technologies used for pre-processing, storing, manipulating and analyzing the big data. At the beginning of the course a brief overview of the big data is introduced to the students: the definition, visualization, toolbox, and applications.
