Big Data 2016: Alicante, Spain – Wessex Institute

Due to the rise of IT and the rapid inclusion of the Internet and Mobile Computing in our lives, companies, enterprises and governments have huge volumes of information. This information overload greatly complicates the process of decision making of experts in any field. Furthermore, the heterogeneous nature of the sources and the large size of these databases imply a difficult challenge for analysts.
