The way of administering such data in a sense storing, managing, analyzing, and extracting insightful information from the massive volume of data is a challenging task. Big data analytics is becoming a vital research area in domains such as climate data analysis which demands fast access to data. Nowadays, an open-source platform namely MapReduce which is a distributed computing framework is widely used in many domains of big data analysis. In our work, we have developed a conceptual framework of data modeling essentially useful for the implementation of a hybrid data warehouse model to store the features of National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) climate data. The hybrid data warehouse model for climate big data enables for the identification of weather patterns that would be applicable in agricultural and other similar climate change-related studies that will play a major role in recommending actions to be taken by domain experts and make contingency plans over extreme cases of weather variability.展开更多

The systems would also allow Hajj and Umrah administration to manage the crowd of the campaigns in an easy manner. In this paper, we propose Android/iPhone application that allows Hajj administration to monitor pilgrims using Quick Response Codes. Using quick response code application allows campaign supervisors and Hajj and Umrah employees to monitor pilgrims and guide them in case of getting lost. The application offers an easier and faster service than traditional approach used at Hajj season by human guidance. It is a very convenient service that would relief stresses of pilgrim’s relatives who worry about their relatives performing Hajj. The results show that the average score of our approach (QR) is 4.72 out of 5 comparing with traditional mobile applications indicating that the users are feeling enjoyable while using the new application features and the system is easy to use. Finally, the systems would assist in achieving the highest degree of pilgrims safety at Hajj season.展开更多
