The ability of now-casting and eventuality is the most crucial and vital achievement of big data analytics in the area of policy-making. To recognize the trends and to render a real image of the current condition and alarming immediate indicators, the significance and the specific positions of big data in policy-making are undeniable. Moreover, the requirement for policy-making institutions to ...

The big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a popular metaheuristic optimization technique proposed based on one of the theories for the evolution of the universe. The algorithm utilizes a two-phase search mechanism: big-bang phase and big-crunch phase. In the big-bang phase the concept of energy dissipation is considered to produce disorder and randomness in the candidate population while in ...

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is exploring the use of Semantic Web approach for statistical production from Big Data sources. While Big Data provides new business opportunities for statistical production, there are significant capability challenges facing the ABS. In particular, there is a compelling need for an integrated analytical platform that can facilitate the representation, ...

I’m very grateful to Sheila Greene for inviting me here, and for those generous words of welcome. I was last in Dublin in 1978, so it’s certainly high time I returned. When I was last here, Jim Callaghan was the British Prime Minister, Jack Lynch was the Taoiseach, and personal computers were the next big thing. The following year was the International Year of the Child, in which Poland propose...

New Planck scale physics may solve the singularity problems of classical general relativity and may lead to interesting consequences for very early Universe cosmology. Two approaches to these questions are reviewed in this article. The first is an effective action approach to including the effects of Planck scale physics in the basic framework of general relativity. It is shown that effective a...

With the development of the times, in the wireless sensor networks, the increasing amount of information transmission requires more advanced transmission protocols. Especially accompanied by the arrival of the era of Big Data, the conflicts between traditional transport agreement and the sudden or large amount of data are increasingly prominent. The discrete time three-dimensional probability C...

The term ‘big data’ has gained huge popularity in recent years among IT professionals and academicians. Big data describes the massive amount of data that can be processed and analyzed using technology to gain business values that will help organizations to achieve competitive advantages. The current paper aims to develop a holistic model that includes the factors that would affect the success ...

The Next Big Thing Adaptive, or personalized, learning is becoming the next big thing in online education. By providing each student with a custom, personalized path through courses and tracking both content covered and level of attained mastery, adaptive learning platforms hold great promise for enhancing student learning and success. Adaptive course content is organized as a set of nodes in a...
