Computing and Big Data

Abstract In recent years, accompanied by lower prices of information and communications technology (ICT) equipment and networks, various items of data gleaned from the real world have come to be accumulated in cloud data centers. There are increasing hopes that analysis of this massive amount of data will provide insight that is valuable to both businesses and society. Since tens of terabytes (TBs) or tens of petabytes (PBs) of data, big data, should be handled to make full use of it, there needs to be a new type of technology different from ordinary ICT. It revolves around different areas of analytics and Big Data. Through a detailed survey, we identify possible gaps in technology and provide recommendations for the research community on future directions on Cloud-supported Big Data computing and analytics solutions
