Abstract

In the today’s world we witness an impact of the ‘Big data’ phenomenon. Although there are many definitions and different scientists view the problem from their perspectives (web, IoT, smartphones, security, GIS, HIS, cloud systems, networks, ...), there is still need for efficient, robust and scalable algorithms that ease processing of such data.
