CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Big Data (Springer) Special Issue on Service Provisioning in the Big Data Era
INTRODUCTION
As an overwhelming amount of data is generated at a faster rate every day from all sources, and applications such as cloud services, Web of Things (WoT), social network services and intelligent terminals, it has become more urgent than ever to design, deploy and provision services more wisely so that the provisioned services could support effective acquisition, storage, transformation, management and utilization of such data. Manipulating and getting the most out of the Big Data can bring unprecedented value and new opportunities that are critical to business success. Services should be ideally provisioned in a way that speeds up data processing, scales up with data volume, and improves the adaptability and extensibility over data diversity and uncertainties, and finally turns low-level data into actionable knowledge towards better understanding and manipulation of the Big Data.
Big Data requires services across various domains, heterogeneous networks and cyber-physical worlds to be aggregated, interoperated, and linked together into a massive and complicated collaborative service ecosystem which could in turn handles the challenging issues of Big Data.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
