The amounts of global data in all spheres have been increasing rapidly day by day. Organisations capture tera-bytes of information about their customers, suppliers and operations daily. Furthermore, millions of networked sensors embedded in the physical world and devices such as mobile phones and automobiles generate huge amounts of data through sensing, creating and communicating between each other. Multimedia sources and individuals with smart phones and on social network sites also contribute to fuelling this exponential growth.
This large pool of data, coined as “big data”, can be captured, communicated, aggregated, stored and analysed, and is now part of every sector and function of the global economy. Like other essential factors of production such as physical assets and human capital, it is becoming an increasingly important factor in modern economic activity, innovation and growth.
The objective of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for researchers working in the area of theory and applications of data sciences. The issue invites contributions from the academic community and industry experts, in order to present recent advances in this area.
