Big Data: Challenges, practices and technologies: NIST Big Data Public Working Group workshop at IEEE Big Data 2014

Big Data has changed both technologies and practices for building data analytics systems. A number of working groups have been discussing the recent changes along a number of dimensions. The NIST Big Data Public Working Group organized a workshop to promote communication among working groups, technologists, and practitioners to come to an understanding of the current state of the Big Data discipline, collaboration best practices, future directions for this emerging specialization, and to identify security and privacy concerns.
