“For the last 20 years everything in IT has revolved around structured data in a traditional, transactional database,” he said. That model was changing. He said Big Data was fundamentally different in four ways:

1.It’s a rich data model, it contains both structured and unstructured data, so it could be things like video, or Twitter feeds, as well as structured data.
2.The size is big—no longer terabytes but petabytes of data. And it is multisource data.
3.It is real time. “If my Google search took me to Monday morning to do, I wouldn’t do very many of them.”
4.It is collaborative. Many people will be working on it at the same time.

The rapid development of computer science and information technology in the last couple of decades has generated massive amount of data and fundamentally changed every field in science and engineering. Many disciplines are now rich in data and tend to adopt data science or data-intensive engineering methodologies to do research and development. Scientific approach to process data involving the engineering aspects as well, would lead to major strides in the domains of data, information and knowledge which contribute to the evolving knowledge society. This conference is intended to take stock of the trends and developments in the globally competititve environment as well as to provide indicators for future directions to researchers and practitioners

The art of data science is gathering the data, finding the trends and information that can be beneficial to your company, performing statistical research and wrapping everything into creative ideas or platforms for your business to use. As technology and Internet platforms advance, the amount of data out there is only going to continue to grow.
