"The Future of Big Data: More than Just a Trend?"
Abstract: Since the first being coined in 2005, big data has been used to describe a number of emergent phenomena regarding datasets that are too large for conventional management, analytics or knowledge discovery techniques. Recognizing that the term is now more than 10 years old, we explore 4 expert perspectives on how big data has shaped and is shaping different disciplines and industries. We also discuss some challenges and opportunities to conducting research in the field and how new frontiers may shape what's to come.
