Abstract

The authors enter three economic activity indices, which are calculated from the data in the virtual space on basis of Mobile Operator Call Description Records, Internet Log Files and News Portal audience textual comments and remarks analysis. The article provides the computing facility and the software specification for the Big Data computational platform. Indicates the need to comply this platform with strategy of data privacy requirements solutions and the visualization of results with data geographical mapping.
