== Overview ==

Nowadays, data comes from sensors, lab experiments, simulations, individual archives, enterprise and Internet in all scales and formats. This data flood has outpaced our capability to process,
analyze, store and understand these datasets. Such rapid expansion is also accelerated by the dramatic increase in acceptance of social media and networking applications. Furthermore, It can be foreseen that Internet of things (IoT) applications will raise the scale of data to an unprecedented level. People and devices (from home coffee machines to cars, to buses, railway stations and airports) are all loosely connected. Trillions of such connected components will generate a huge data ocean, and valuable information must be discovered from the data to help improve quality of life and make our world a better place. This special issue intends to tackle such data deluge issues intelligently, efficiently and effectively. Areas of interest for this special issue include the following topics:

- Intelligent data mining techniques
- Dynamic data redistribution
- Scalable and distributed algorithms
- New programming models for large data
- Locality aware data processing
- NoSQL
- Data filtering techniques for Internet of Things
- DaaS, Data as a Service
- MapReduce in hybrid clouds
- Asynchronous data processing
- Opportunistic data processing in hybrid clouds
- Intelligent storage and load balancing
- Data migration and synchronization (between private and public clouds)
- Multi-tier MapReduce programming model
- Dynamic Mapper/Reducer join/leave
- Data decomposition base on GPU / CPU availability
- Dynamic provisioning for big data processing
- System Issues related to large datasets
