IJIMAI 2016 - Special Issue on Big Data and AI - Vol. 3 Issue 6

Year: 2016, Vol: 3, Number: 6          application/pdf icon

Digital information has redefined the way in which both public and private organizations are faced with the use of data to improve decision making. The importance of Big Data lies in the huge amount of data generated every day, especially following the emergence of online social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc.) and the exponential growth of devices such as smartphones, smartwatches and other wearables, sensor networks, etc. as well as the possibility of taking into account increasingly updated and more varied information for decision making.



With proper Big Data analysis we can spot trends, get models from historical data for predicting future events or extract patterns from user behaviour, and thus be able to tailor services to the needs of users in a better way.



Using Big Data is becoming widespread among organizations of all kinds. It is a fact that large companies, start-ups, government agencies and non-governmental organizations are gradually being encouraged to use microdata generated by digital devices to operate more efficiently. When these microdata are aggregated they turn into massive amounts of data which require specialized tools and skills to be managed.



The challenge organizations are facing is that the increasing amount of data is too large or too unstructured to be managed and analysed with traditional methods. Think of the data derived from the sequence of clicks from the Web, social media content - tweets, blogs, Facebook wall postings (Facebook alone accounts for more than 1 billion active users generating social interaction content. Google processes on average over 53 thousand search queries per second, making it over 4.6 billion in a single day) - or radio frequency identification systems, which generate up to a thousand times more data than conventional barcode systems (12 million RFID tags – used to capture data and track movement of objects in physical world – had been sold in by 2011. By 2021, it is estimated that that number will have risen to 209 billion. Walmart manages more than 1 million customer transactions per hour). In the World 10.000 payment card transactions are recorded every second. The amount of data transferred over mobile networks increased by 81% to 1.5 Exabyte per month between 2012 and 2014. More than 5 billion people make phone calls, send text messages and surf the Internet with mobile phones. Every day they send 340 million tweets (4.000 per second!). To date they’ve generated 2.5 trillion bytes of data. However, very little of this information is in the form of rows and columns of traditional databases.

        IJIMAI welcomes submissions of scientific papers, which will be peer-reviewed. These articles should be prepared following the journal's official format and submitted through the official online submission system. Scientific research papers make up the core of the issues of IJIMAI. IJIMAI also considers less technical and shorter articles for inclusion, which can be useful for the scientific community:

        • Short articles reporting on PhD theses recently defended in the technical areas relevant to the journal. Articles in this category are typically expected to be one page long and will contain information like the abstract of the thesis, details of the viva (date, place, members of the examination board) and a photo of the event. This article can be written by the student or by one of the supervisors.
        • Opinion articles and letters which can help our community to reflect, discuss or encourage debate and joint work in certain areas.

        Articles in any of these two categories should also be prepared following the journal's official format, but should not be submitted through the official submissions webpage, but sent directly to co-Editors-in-Chief. These types of papers will not be peer-reviewed. The co-Editors-in-Chief will decide on the inclusion of these articles.
