Big Data Technologies

“Big Data” involves data whose volume, diversity, and complexity require new technologies, algorithms, and analyses to extract valuable knowledge beyond a single computer's normal processing capabilities. Big Data has many faces, such as databases, security and privacy, visualisation, computational infrastructure and data analytics/mining. This course focuses on the policies, procedures, and technologies essential for effective data governance and management. It addresses data storage, sharing protocols, and processing strategies crucial for handling large and complex datasets efficiently.
