Big Data and Cloud : Trust, Security and Privacy. This item is unavailable.Big Data and Cloud : Trust, Security and Privacy

The emergence of big data is expected to change business dynamics in different organizations and the value behind big data is evident. Consumer data is traded, sold, and a sought-after commodity. In the next two decades, the volume of data available to different enterprises will grow dramatically. The big data is expected to change insights about the customers, operational costs, and all the relevant aspects of different business models around the world. The emergence of cloud computing has enabled businesses to compete at a higher level because the traditional software and systems are no longer required. Digital heterogeneity and the confluence of Artificial Intelligence with 5G and IoT are expected to dominate the market because the majority of the organizations in the world are considering the use of AI to reduce their operating costs. Even as the future of business technology continues to get brighter, there is a need to reconsider trust, privacy, and risk management issues. As technology continues to advance, the risks become greater, and thus, security becomes a significant aspect that needs to be addressed. In the last few years, new laws have been developed to regulate how service providers collect, use, retain, disclose, and dispose of user information. The number of cyber-attacks and data breaches have been rising at an alarming rate and it is essential for the organization to take necessary precautions to protect their data. In this book, transformation and advancement to a pervasive and converged digital infrastructure of Big Data, IoT and AI with their values, threats and security at different levels are discussed.

Since graduating from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, I have worked chiefly in the field of wireless mobile communication technology as a technical advisor, engineering director, and now as a professor at Murray State University (MSU). I have led research teams working on location, completing numerous contracts in wireless mobile communications systems design and implementation for leading telecommunications companies such as AT&T, Sprint PCS and Lucent in the U.S. I have conducted important research that has resulted in original contributions across a variety of areas in the wireless telecommunication. My most prominent contributions have centered on recent advancement of higher generations of mobile communications, namely WiMAX, LTE, OFDMA, IPTV, and sensors. I have published and presented abstracts and papers for technical journals and national and international conferences in North America, Asia, Middle East, Australia and Europe. In addition, I have served as a panelist, chair, keynote, editor of journals, steering committee member, and organizer for workshops and conferences on the integration of teaching and research, particularly in the area of wireless communications and power systems. In addition to my research activities, currently I am teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in wireless/wireline telecommunication at MSU.
