to the= emergence of the Big Data Computing paradigm focusing on sensing,
colle= ction, storage, management and analysis of data from variety of sources
= to enable new value and insights.

To realize the full potential of B= ig Data Computing, we need to address
several challenges and develop sui= table conceptual and technological
solutions for dealing them. These inc= lude life-cycle management of data,
large-scale storage, flexible proces= sing infrastructure, data modeling,
scalable machine learning and data a= nalysis algorithms, techniques for
