Book Description

To be effective, data-intensive systems require extensive ongoing customisation to reflect changing user requirements, organisational policies, and the structure and interpretation of the data they hold. Manual customisation is expensive, time-consuming, and error-prone. In large complex systems, the value of the data can be such that exhaustive testing is necessary before any new feature can be added to the existing design. In most cases, the precise details of requirements, policies and data will change during the lifetime of the system, forcing a choice between expensive modification and continued operation with an inefficient design.

This book outlines an approach to dealing with these problems in software and data engineering, describing a methodology for aligning these processes throughout product lifecycles. It discusses tools which can be used to achieve these goals, and, in a number of case studies, shows how the tools and methodology have been used to improve a variety of academic and business systems.

• Engineering of Big Data Processing (Piotr Fulmański)

  This book is addressed to all the people who want to understand how Big Data differs from Data and why they should be treated different way. It may be good both for someone with no computer scientist background and for those who have some IT experience.

• Agile Data: Building Data Analytics Applications

  Create an environment for exploring data, using lightweight tools such as Ruby, Python, Apache Pig, and the D3.js (Data-Driven Documents) JavaScript library. Learn an iterative approach that allows you to quickly change the kind of analysis you're doing.

• Knowledge Graphs and Big Data Processing (Valentina Janev, et al)

  Each chapter in this book addresses some pertinent aspect of the data processing chain, with a specific focus on understanding Enterprise Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Big Data Architectures, and Smart Data Analytics solutions.

• Big Data in Context: Legal, Social and Technological Insights

  This book sheds new light on a selection of big data scenarios from an interdisciplinary perspective. it provides a comprehensive overview of and introduction to the emerging challenges regarding big data.

• Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications

  Long considered important pillars of the scientific method, Modelling and Simulation have evolved from traditional discrete numerical methods to complex data-intensive continuous analytical optimisations.

• Big Data Processing with Apache Spark (Srini Penchikala)

  Learn about the Apache Spark framework and develop Spark programs for use cases in big-data analysis. It covers all the libraries that are part of Spark ecosystem, which includes Spark Core, Spark SQL, Spark Streaming, Spark MLlib, and Spark GraphX.

• The Internals of Apache Spark (Jacek Laskowski)

  This book introduces Apache Spark, the open source cluster computing system that makes data analytics fast to write and fast to run. With Spark, you can tackle big datasets quickly through simple APIs in Python, Java, and Scala.

• The Data Engineer's Guide to Apache Spark (Databricks)

  This book is for data engineers looking to leverage the immense growth of Apache Spark to build faster and more reliable data pipelines. It leverages Spark's amazing speed, scalability, simplicity, and versatility to build practical Big Data solutions.

• The Big Data Agenda: Data Ethics and Critical Data Studies

  This book highlights that the capacity for gathering, analysing, and utilising vast amounts of digital (user) data raises significant ethical issues. Specific case studies explore how big data have been used in academic work.

• Artificial Intelligence for Big Data (Anand Deshpande, et al)

  You will learn to use machine learning algorithms such as k-means, SVM, RBF, and regression to perform advanced data analysis. You will understand the current status of machine and deep learning techniques to work on genetic and neuro-fuzzy algorithms.

• Big Data Analytics with Hadoop 3 (Sridhar Alla)

  This book shows you how to combine Hadoop with a host of other big data tools to build powerful analytics solutions, by providing insights into the software as well as its benefits with the help of practical examples.

• Understanding Big Data: Analytics for Hadoop and Streaming Data

  In this book, the three defining characteristics of Big Data - volume, variety, and velocity, are discussed. Industry use cases are also included in this practical guide, to deliver a robust, secure, highly available, enterprise-class Big Data platform.
