General Notes:
Performance Modeling of Big Data Oriented Architectures -- Workflow Scheduling Techniques for Big Data Platforms -- Cloud Technologies: A New Level for Big Data Mining -- Agent Based High-Level Interaction Patterns for Modeling Individual and Collective Optimizations Problems -- Maximize Profit for Big Data Processing in Distributed Datacenters -- Energy and Power Efficiency in the Cloud -- Context Aware and Reinforcement Learning Based Load Balancing System for Green Clouds -- High-Performance Storage Support for Scientific Big Data Applications on the Cloud -- Information Fusion for Improving Decision-Making in Big Data Applications -- Load Balancing and Fault Tolerance Mechanisms for Scalable and Reliable Big Data Analytics -- Fault Tolerance in MapReduce: A Survey -- Big Data Security -- Big Biological Data Management -- Optimal Worksharing of DNA Sequence Analysis on Accelerated Platforms -- Feature Dimensionality Reduction for Mammographic Report Classification -- Parallel Algorithms for Multi-Relational Data Mining: Application to Life Science Problems -- Parallelization of Sparse Matrix Kernels for Big Data Applications -- Delivering Social Multimedia Content with Scalability -- A Java-Based Distributed Approach for Generating Large-Scale Social Network Graphs -- Predicting Video Virality on Twitter -- Big Data uses in Crowd Based Systems -- Evaluation of a Web Crowd–Sensing IoT Ecosystem Providing Big Data Analysis -- A Smart City Fighting Pollution by Efficiently Managing and Processing Big Data from Sensor Networks.
This book constitutes a flagship driver towards presenting and supporting advance research in the area of Big Data platforms and applications. Extracting valuable information from raw data is especially difficult considering the velocity of growing data from year to year and the fact that 80% of data is unstructured. In addition, data sources are heterogeneous (various sensors, users with different profiles, etc.) and are located in different situations or contexts. Successful contributions may range from advanced technologies, applications and innovative solutions to global optimization problems in scalable large-scale computing systems to development of methods, conceptual and theoretical models related to Big Data applications and massive data storage and processing. The book provides, in this sense, a platform for the dissemination of advanced topics of theory, research efforts and analysis and implementation for Big Data platforms and applications being oriented on methods, techniques and performance evaluation. This book presents new ideas, analysis, implementations and evaluation of next-generation Big Data platforms and applications. In 23 chapters, several important formulations of the architecture design, optimization techniques, advanced analytics methods, biological, medical and social media applications are presented. These subjects represent the main objectives of ICT COST Action IC1406 High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet) and the research presented in these chapters was performed by joint collaboration of members from this action. This volume will serve as a reference for students, researchers and industry practitioners working in or interested in joining interdisciplinary works in the areas of intelligent decision systems using emergent distributed computing paradigms. It will also allow newcomers to grasp the key concerns and potential solutions for the selected topics.

<p>Research into grid computing has been driven by the need to solve large-scale, increasingly complex problems for scientific applications. Yet the applications of grid computing for business and casual users did not begin to emerge until the development of the concept of cloud computing, fueled by advances in virtualization techniques, coupled with the increased availability of ever-greater Internet bandwidth. The appeal of this new paradigm is mainly based on its simplicity, and the affordable price for seamless access to both computational and storage resources.</p> <p>This timely text/reference introduces the fundamental principles and techniques underlying grids, clouds and virtualization technologies, as well as reviewing the latest research and expected future developments in the field. Readers are guided through the key topics by internationally recognized experts, enabling them to develop their understanding of an area likely to play an ever more significant role in coming years.</p> <p><strong>Topics and features:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Presents contributions from an international selection of experts in the field</li> <li>Provides a thorough introduction and overview of existing technologies in grids, clouds and virtualization, including a brief history of the field</li> <li>Examines the basic requirements for performance isolation of virtual machines on multi-core servers, analyzing a selection of system virtualization technologies</li> <li>Examines both business and scientific applications of grids and clouds, including their use in the life sciences and for high-performance computing</li> <li>Explores cloud building technologies, architectures for enhancing grid infrastructures with cloud computing, and cloud performance</li> <li>Discusses energy aware grids and clouds, workflows on grids and clouds, and cloud and grid programming models</li> <li>Presents case-studies and novel results related to interoperability across grids and clouds</li> </ul> <p>This useful text will enable interested readers to familiarize themselves with the key topics of grids, clouds and virtualization, and to contribute to new advances in the field. Researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, system designers and programmers, and IT policy makers will all benefit from the material covered.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Massimo Cafaro </strong>is Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering for Innovation at the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Giovanni Aloisio </strong>is Full Professor of Information Processing Systems at the Department of Engineering for Innovation at the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy. </p>

<P>Developments in optical transmission systems and electronic routers allow huge bandwidth and ever-increasing capacity. Yet the recent massive deployment of ADSL and broadband access, together with the outburst of new multimedia network services, have resulted in a significant increase in end-user traffic and bandwidth demands.
