Article #1 Title: Towards a real-time big data analytics platform for health applications Author: Dillon Chrimes; Mu-Hsing Kuo; Belaid Moa; Wei Hu Journal: Int. J. of Big Data Intelligence, 2017 Vol.4, No.2, pp.61 - 80 Abstract: We established a framework construct to form a big data analytics (BDA) platform using real volumes of health big data. Existing high-performance computing (HPC) architecture was utilised with HBase (noSQL database) and Hadoop (HDFS). Generated noSQL database was emulated from metadata and inpatient profiles of Vancouver Island Health Authority's hospital system. Special adjustments of Hadoop's ecosystem and HBase with the addition of 'salt buckets' to ingest were required. Results revealed that HBase took a week's time to generate ∌10 TB of data for one billion records via ingestion. Hadoop ingestion into HBase only took three seconds. Both simple and complex queries were less than two seconds, and all queries produced accurate patient data results. Data migration performance requirements of our BDA platform can significantly capture large volumes of data while reducing data retrieval times and its linkages to innovative processes and configurations that met patient data s ecurity/privacy standards are discussed. Keywords: big data analytics; BDA; data mining; healthcare technology; high performance computing; HPC; patient data; simulation; HBase; Hadoop; data retrieval; data security; data privacy; privacy protection; privacy preservation.

Article #2 Title: Security challenges in cloud computing: state-of-art Author: Kriti Bhushan; B.B. Gupta Journal: Int. J. of Big Data Intelligence, 2017 Vol.4, No.2, pp.81 - 107 Abstract: Cloud computing platform provides on-demand access of services, and these services can also be customised, which enables the customers to use these services as per their requirement and they also need to pay according to their uses. Recent advancements in the field of cloud computing and internet technologies have attracted the organisations to shift their businesses on cloud. However, moving data and applications to a third party services provider also raises critical concern for security and privacy. Availability of cloud services is one of the most important security issues which directly affect the business of the cloud service providers and also its customers. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on cloud is the root cause that challenges the availability of cloud services. This paper presents taxonomy of security issues in cloud, taxonomy of DDoS attacks in cloud, and taxonomy of DDoS defence mechanisms in cloud environment. We have also discussed, analysed, and compared some well-known methods for DDoS attack defence in cloud on different parameters that will help the victim to understand the risk and also assists them to select the proper defence technique to protect their cloud system from DDoS attacks. Keywords: cloud computing; DDoS attacks; distributed DoS; denial of service; availability; cloud security; data security; taxonomy; DDoS defence mechanisms.

Article #3 Title: Graph-based semi-supervised classification on very high resolution remote sensing images Author: Yupeng Yan; Manu Sethi; Anand Rangarajan; Ranga Raju Vatsavai; Sanjay Ranka Journal: Int. J. of Big Data Intelligence, 2017 Vol.4, No.2, pp.108 - 122 Abstract: Classification of very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing imagery is a rapidly emerging discipline but faces several challenges owing to the huge scale of the pixel data involved, indiscernibility in the traditionally used features to represent various regions, and the lack of available ground truth data. This paper provides a framework which elegantly overcomes these hurdles by providing a novel semi-supervised learning approach which employs multiscale superpixel tessellation representations of VHR imagery. Superpixels are homogeneous and irregularly shaped regions which form the backbone of our approach and are used to derive novel features by learning a decision tree. Our semi-supervised learning approach works on a superpixel graph and seamlessly combines the large margin capability of a support vector machine (SVM) with a graph-based Laplacian label propagation approach to obtain a novel objective function. Further we also provide a self-contained and easily paralleli sable linear iterative optimisation approach based on the principle of majorisation-minimisation. We evaluate this approach on four different geographic settings with varying neighbourhood types and draw comparisons with the popular and widely used Gaussian multiple instance learning algorithm. Our results showcase several advantages in accuracy and efficiency, which coupled with the ease of model building and inherently parallelisable optimisation make our framework a great choice for deployment in large scale applications like global human settlement mapping and population distribution, and change detection. Keywords: image classification; high resolution images; remote sensing images; superpixel segmentation; image segmentation; ultrametric contour maps; majorisation-minimisation; support vector machines; SVM; graph Laplacian; semi-supervised learning; Gaussian multiple instance learning; label propagation; surrogate function.

Article #4 Title: Optimising the calculation of statistical functions Author: André Rodrigues; Carla Silva; Paulo Borges; Sérgio Silva; Inês Dutra Journal: Int. J. of Big Data Intelligence, 2017 Vol.4, No.1, pp.123 - 138 Abstract: Statistical data analysis methods are well-known for their difficulty in handling large number of instances or large number of parameters. In this paper, we study popular and well-known statistical functions, generally applied to data analysis, and assess their performance as implemented by SPSS, MATLAB, R and our own software, DataIP. We use medium to large datasets and show that DataIP outperforms SPSS, MATLAB and R by several orders of magnitude. We argue that the design and implementation of these functions need to be rethought to adapt to today's data challenges. Keywords: statistical data analysis; statistical functions; performance evaluation; SPSS; MATLAB; optimisation.
