DESCRIPTION: 
Big data refers to large and complex massive amounts of data sets that it becomes difficult to process and analyze using traditional data processing technology. Over the past few years there has been an exponential growth in the rate of available data sets obtained from complex systems, ranging from the interconnection of millions of users in social media data, cheminformatics, hydroinformatics to the information contained in the complex biological data sets. This taking and opened new challenges and Opportunities to researcher and scientists on how to acquisition, Recording, store and manipulate this huge amount of data sets and how to develop new tools, mining, study, and visualize the massive amount data sets and what insight can we learn from systems that were previously not understood due to the lack of information. All these aspect, coming from multiple disciples under the theme of big data and their features 

OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK 

The ultimate objectives of this volume are to provide challenges and Opportunities to the research communities with an updated, in-depth material on the application of Big data in complex systems in order to finding solutions to the challenges and problems facing big data sets applications. We invite all researchers and practitioners who are developing algorithms, systems, and applications, to share their results, ideas, and experiences. Besides the main topic covering complex data streams, related aspects of efficient processing of massive data and knowledge discovery from large databases are also welcomed. 


TOPICS 
Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following: 
•	Scalability in processing large data volumes 
•	Classification, clustering and frequent patterns from data streams

•	Handling machine-generated data streams 
•	Data stream mining and processing over cloud infrastructures 
•	Approximate processing and approximate queries 
•	Near-real-time analytics of massive and stream data 
•	Discovering complex patterns in data, including multi-labeled classification and structured, complex decisions 
•	Detecting and adapting to changes and concept drifts in evolving data streams 
•	Ensemble learning in changing environments 
•	Efficient algorithms for mining data streams in ubiquitous environments
