<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10pt">Big data is an emerging
paradigm applied to datasets whose size or complexity is beyond the ability of
commonly used computer software and hardware tools. Such datasets are often
from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors,
scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts
and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions
and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity).
More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust
in it for business decision making (Veracity). Various technologies are being
discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel
processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and
MapReduce. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal">As estimated by IDC, by 2020, about 40% data globally would be touched with Cloud Computing. Besides, Cloud Computing provides strong storage, computation and distributed capability in support of Big Data processing. Therefore, there is a strong demand to investigate various challenges about how to support Big Data processing by facilitating Cloud Computing potential. This special issue will focus on this challenging topic.<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
