Society is now completely driven by data with many industries relying on data to conduct business or basic functions within the organization. With the efficiencies that big data bring to all institutions, data is continuously being collected and analyzed. However, data sets may be too complex for traditional data-processing, and therefore, different strategies must evolve to solve the issue. The field of big data works as a valuable tool for many different industries. The Research Anthology on Big Data Analytics, Architectures, and Applications is a complete reference source on big data analytics that offers the latest, innovative architectures and frameworks and explores a variety of applications within various industries. Offering an international perspective, the applications discussed within this anthology feature global representation. Covering topics such as advertising curricula, driven supply chain, and smart cities, this research anthology is ideal for data scientists, data analysts, computer engineers, software engineers, technologists, government officials, managers, CEOs, professors, graduate students, researchers, and academicians.

This book includes selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Data Engineering and Communication Technology (ICDECT-2K19), held at Stanley College of Engineering and Technology for Women, Hyderabad, from 15 to 16 March 2019. It features advanced, multidisciplinary research towards the design of smart computing, information systems, and electronic systems. It also focuses on various innovation paradigms in system knowledge, intelligence, and sustainability which can be applied to provide viable solutions to diverse problems related to society, the environment, and industry.

Clouds are being positioned as the next-generation consolidated, centralized, yet federated IT infrastructure for hosting all kinds of IT platforms and for deploying, maintaining, and managing a wider variety of personal, as well as professional applications and services. Handbook of Research on Cloud Infrastructures for Big Data Analytics focuses exclusively on the topic of cloud-sponsored big data analytics for creating flexible and futuristic organizations. This book helps researchers and practitioners, as well as business entrepreneurs, to make informed decisions and consider appropriate action to simplify and streamline the arduous journey towards smarter enterprises.

Today's malware mutates randomly to avoid detection, but reactively adaptive malware is more intelligent, learning and adapting to new computer defenses on the fly. Using the same algorithms that antivirus software uses to detect viruses, reactively adaptive malware deploys those algorithms to outwit antivirus defenses and to go undetected. This book provides details of the tools, the types of malware the tools will detect, implementation of the tools in a cloud computing framework and the applications for insider threat detection.

As technology continues to become more sophisticated, mimicking natural processes and phenomena becomes more of a reality. Continued research in the field of natural computing enables an understanding of the world around us, in addition to opportunities for manmade computing to mirror the natural processes and systems that have existed for centuries. Nature-Inspired Algorithms for Big Data Frameworks is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of extracting meaningful information from data using algorithms that are capable of handling the constraints of processing time, memory usage, and the dynamic and unstructured nature of data. Highlighting a range of topics including genetic algorithms, data classification, and wireless sensor networks, this book is ideally designed for computer engineers, software developers, IT professionals, academicians, researchers, and upper-level students seeking current research on the application of nature and biologically inspired algorithms for handling challenges posed by big data in diverse environments.
