Managing Big Data Integration in the Public Sector: Opportunities and Challenges

By Dr. Anil Aggarwal University of Baltimore aaggarwal@ubalt.edumailto:aaggarwal@ubalt.edu

This book identifies and provides opportunities related to the emerging field of big data and data analytics. One example of big data is the tragedy related to the Malaysian Airline disappearance. This incident has created an unprecedented amount of data in different forms from many different sources, such as the sensors, logs, social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), air traffic controllers, maps, etc. It has brought together participants from many different countries with different kinds of expertise. The problem is to combine these different sources and forms of data and to develop some intelligence which can help locate the missing airliner. The Malaysian airliner is just one example where big data and data mining are applied in a multi-government level collaboration. There are many examples where data management becomes problematic. With the proliferation of social networks, data is generated in non-traditional places like Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr to name a few. Government and businesses are aggressively monitoring and trying to make sense out of the data which is generated from these sites. Big data is an emerging area which has only recently caught the attention of researchers. The field is evolving very fast. Literature typically has focused on social networks, but data mining but has not merged the areas to provide meaningful insights. This book proposes to go beyond and identify big data open platforms, big data technology and big data management, especially in government applications. It will also address how big data can be combined with cloud platforms and how business analytics can be used to provide opportunities for decision makers. The book will identify strategies for public sectors like the government agencies, hospitals, cities, states etc. to be more responsive to stakeholders, namely the citizen, needs. In addition, this book will also address ad-hoc situations like disasters (missing planes, earthquakes, fires etc.) that create swift team that use big data to solve these problems.
