Patrick Cunningham ITM220-J November 8‚ 2013 Big Data Big Data‚ an inspirational novel about the collection and processing of massive amounts of data was eye-opening and encouraging. This collection of data over a long period of time has been processed and used towards many different aspects throughout the world. Dilemmas such as tracking the H1N1 virus‚ to buying the most inexpensive plane tickets‚ all the way to predicting dangerous manholes explosions have all been processed and tabulated

1. Data Processing- is any process that a computer program does to enter data and‚ summarize‚ analyze or otherwise convert data into usable information. The process may be automated and run on a computer. It involves recording‚ analyzing‚ sorting‚ summarizing‚ calculating‚ disseminating and storing data. Because data are most useful when well-presented and actually informative‚ data-processing systems are often referred to as information systems. Nevertheless‚ the terms are roughly synonymous‚ performing

A glimpse of Big Data Jan. 2013 What is big data? “Big data is not a precise term; rather it’s a characterization of the never ending accumulation of all kinds of data‚ most of it unstructured. It describes data sets that are growing exponentially and that are too large‚ too raw or too unstructured for analysis using relational database techniques. Whether terabytes or petabytes‚ the precise amount is less the issue than where the data ends up and how it is used.”------Cite from EMC’s report

Data warehousing is the process of collecting data in raw form for analyzing trends. The benefits to data warehousing are improved end-user access‚ increased data consistency‚ various kinds of reports can be made from the data collected‚ gather the data in a common place from separate sources and additional documentation of data. Potential lower computing costs‚ increased productivity‚ end-users can query the database without using overhead of the operational systems and creates an infrastructure

What is Data Communications? Next Topic | TOC The distance over which data moves within a computer may vary from a few thousandths of an inch‚ as is the case within a single IC chip‚ to as much as several feet along the backplane of the main circuit board. Over such small distances‚ digital data may be transmitted as direct‚ two-level electrical signals over simple copper conductors. Except for the fastest computers‚ circuit designers are not very concerned about the shape of the conductor or

network nodes increases. (2) In most cases‚ adaptive strategies depend on status information that is collected at one place but used at another. There is a tradeoff here between the quality of the information and the amount of overhead. The more information that is exchanged‚ and the more frequently it is exchanged‚ the better will be the routing decisions that each node makes. On the other hand‚ this information is itself a load on the constituent networks‚ causing a performance degradation

Common Knowledge in Academic Papers As you read in the WR last week‚ writers cite borrowed information by providing a signal phrase‚ page number if a printed source‚ url in case of a picture taken from the web‚ etc. One exception to this rule‚ however‚ is whenever the information is common knowledge. Common knowledge is a term applicable to any piece of information that is widely available in basic sources about the subject. In a paper about psychology‚ for instance‚ you wouldn’t need to cite
