Recent Trends in Intelligence Enabled Research (DoSIER 2022)

Abstract

A large volume of data is produced from the digital transformation with the extensive use of Internet and global communication system. Big data denotes this extensive heave of data which cannot be managed by traditional data handling methods and techniques. This data is generated in every few milliseconds in the form of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Big data analytics are extensively used in enterprise which plays an important role in various fields of application. This paper presents applications of big data in various fields such as healthcare systems, social media data, e-commerce applications, agriculture application, smart city application, and intelligent transport system. The paper also tries to focus on the characteristics, storage technology of using big data in these applications. This survey provides a clear view of the state-of-the-art research areas on big data technologies and its applications in recent past.
