CONTEXT AND SCOPE

Rapid ad= vances in digital sensors, networks, storage, and computation along
with= their availability at low cost is leading to the creation of huge collecti= ons
of data -- dubbed as Big Data. This data has the potential for enabl= ing new
insights that can change the way business, science, and governme= nts deliver
services to their consumers and can impact society as a whol= e. This has led
to the emergence of the Big Data Computing paradigm focu= sing on sensing,
collection, storage, management and analysis of data fr= om variety of sources
to enable new value and insights.

To realiz= e the full potential of Big Data Computing, we need to address
several c= hallenges and develop suitable conceptual and technological
solutions fo= r dealing them. These include life-cycle management of data,
large-scale= storage, flexible processing infrastructure, data modeling,
scalable ma= chine learning and data analysis algorithms, techniques for
sampling and= making trade-off between data processing time and accuracy,
and dealing= with privacy and ethical issues involved in data sensing, storage,
proc= essing, and actions.
