Big data analytics for ICT monitoring and development

Abstract

The expanded growth of information and communication technology has opened new era of digitization which is proving to be a great challenge for researchers and scientists around the globe. The utmost paradigm is to handle and process the explosion of data with minimal cost and discover relevant hidden information in the least amount of time. The buzz word "BIG DATA" is a widely anticipated term with the potential to handle heterogeneous, complex, and unstructured data. We can say that big data has evolved as a monitoring tool for ICT to detect relevant patterns which were previous unknown. This chapter focuses on ICT and big data application in varied application domains. The aim is to design a framework for business data resources which gather at unprecedented pace and derive relevant information with big data analytics for better decision-making. In addition, this chapter discusses a novel framework where big data analytics is utilized as potential decisionmaking step for relatively better management policies.
