Data consists of datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work
with using on-hand computer data and computation management tools. Difficulties
include, but are not limited to, capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics,
and visualizing. Working with data sets of increasing scale allows analysts to
"spot business trends, prevent diseases, and combat crime." Big data
size is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools
to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time, hence
demanding new innovative solutions. It has attracted a high degree of
interdisciplinary interest internationally. This special issue is focusing on
this new strategic research area to address challenges about big data.</span><span style="font-size:10pt"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt">Original and<font face="verdana,sans-serif"> unpublished high-quality research results
