Preface

The scope of this book includes leading edge in big data systems, architectures, and applications. Big data computing refers to capturing, managing, analyzing, and understanding the data at volumes and rates that push the frontiers of current technologies. The challenge of big data computing is to provide the hardware architectures and related software systems and techniques which are capable of transforming ultra large data into valuable knowledge. Big data and data-intensive computing demand a fundamentally different set of principles than mainstream computing. Big data applications typically are well suited for large-scale parallelism over the data and also require extremely high degree of fault tolerance, reliability, and availability. In addition, most big data applications require relatively fast response. The objective of this book is to introduce the basic concepts of big data computing and then to describe the total solution to big data problems developed by LexisNexis Risk Solutions. This book comprises of three parts, which consists of 15 chapters. Part I on Big Data Technologies includes the chapters dealing with introduction to big data concepts and techniques
