Description This module is accredited by NUIG. Large-scale data analytics is concerned with the processing and analysis of large quantities of data, typically from distributed sources (such as data streams on the internet). This module introduces students to state-of-the-art approaches to large-scale data analytics. Students learn about foundational concepts, software tools and advanced programming techniques for the scalable storage, processing and predictive analysis of high- volume and high-velocity data, and how to apply them to practical problems. ** This module uses Java as programming language. Knowledge of Java is a prerequisite for participation in this module. ** Planned topics include: Definition of large-scale computational data analytics; Overview of approaches to the processing and analysis of high volume and high velocity data from distributed sources; Applications of large-scale data analytics; Foundations of cluster computing and parallel data processing; The Hadoop and Spark ecosystems. MapReduce; Advanced programming concepts for large-scale data analytics; Concepts and tools for large-scale data storage; Stream data analytics. Complex Event Processing (CEP); Techniques and open-source tools for largescale predictive analytics; Computational statistics and machine learning with large-scale data processing frameworks such as Spark; Privacy in the context of large-scale data analytics. Further information pertaining to the module is available from NUIG. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
