Big data and artificial intelligence

The Big Data embodies a technology that permits the storage, processing, and management of broad and complex data sets in which traditional data processing applications are not applicable. These sets of data are usually characterized by a substantial volume of information that they carry, variety, versatility in terms of the format in which they are written, as well as a high-speed ingress which is often greater than the speed of processing. A particular challenge is the data which are coming from the Internet of Things (IoT) “world” that is constantly expanding and which already consists of several billion devices that can measure various parameters in the environment, communicate, process and transmit information. The data streams emanating from these devices are changing traditional approaches to data management and contribute to the emergence of the Big Data paradigm. This paper discusses the characteristics of the IoT infrastructure in terms of vast scale sensor applications and a possibility of connectivity of sensor networks, as well as various techniques of collection, storage, archiving and processing of the data on the cloud.
