Abstract
In the history of computing, nothing has raised the profile of data processing, storage, and analytics as much as the concept of Big Data. We have considered ourselves to be an information-age society since the 1980s, but the concentration of media and popular attention to the role of data in our society have never been greater than in the past few years–thanks to Big Data.
