Io T applications in telecom are further contributing to this data deluge. Recent advances in BDA have exposed new opportunities to get actionable insights from telecom big data. These benefits and the fast-changing BDA technology landscape make it important to investigate existing BDA applications to telecom sector. For this, we initially determine published research on BDA applications to telecom through a systematic literature review through which we filter 38 articles and categorize them in frameworks, use cases, literature reviews, white papers and experimental validations. We also discuss the benefits and challenges mentioned in these articles. We find that experiments are all proof of concepts(POC) on a severely limited BDA technology stack(as compared to the available technology stack), i.e.,we did not find any work focusing on full-fledged BDA implementation in an operational telecom environment. To facilitate these applications at research-level, we propose a state-of-the-art lambda architecture for BDA pipeline implementation(called Lambda Tel) based completely on open source BDA technologies and the standard Python language, along with relevant guidelines.We discovered only one research paper which presented a relatively-limited lambda architecture using the proprietary AWS cloud infrastructure. We believe Lambda Tel presents a clear roadmap for telecom industry practitioners to implement and enhance BDA applications in their enterprises.展开更多

While traditional tools and linear models offer insights, they fall short in presenting a holistic view of complex urban challenges. System dynamics (SD) models that are often utilized to provide holistic, systematic understanding of a research subject, like the urban system, emerge as valuable tools, but data scarcity and theoretical inadequacy pose challenges. The research reviews relevant papers on recent SD model applications in urban sustainability since 2018, categorizing them based on nine key indicators. Among the reviewed papers, data limitations and model assumptions were identified as ma jor challenges in applying SD models to urban sustainability. This led to exploring the transformative potential of big data analytics, a rare approach in this field as identified by this study, to enhance SD models’ empirical foundation. Integrating big data could provide data-driven calibration, potentially improving predictive accuracy and reducing reliance on simplified assumptions. The paper concludes by advocating for new approaches that reduce assumptions and promote real-time applicable models, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of urban sustainability through the synergy of big data and SD models.展开更多

The research reviews relevant papers on recent SD model applications in urban sustainability since 2018, categorizing them based on nine key indicators. Among the reviewed papers, data limitations and model assumptions were identified as ma jor challenges in applying SD models to urban sustainability. This led to exploring the transformative potential of big data analytics, a rare approach in this field as identified by this study, to enhance SD models’ empirical foundation. Integrating big data could provide data-driven calibration, potentially improving predictive accuracy and reducing reliance on simplified assumptions. The paper concludes by advocating for new approaches that reduce assumptions and promote real-time applicable models, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of urban sustainability through the synergy of big data and SD models.

文摘This study examines the effect of key big data analytics capabilities(data,skills,technology,and culture)on innovation performance and business performance.Data were gathered from 91 companies and analyzed to determine correlations in the proposed model.The results find that big data analytics capabilities(BDAC)partially mediate the effect between innovative performance and business performance.Further,as a company’s performance is a multidimensional element,was necessary to analyze more than one attribute to evaluate the relationship with BDAC through a canonical correlation analysis.The results in this sense reveal that the four big data capabilities increase the growth of sales,revenue,the number of workers,the net profit margin,innovation management,the development of new products and services,and the adoption of new information technologies.
文摘Before vaccine development during the COVID-19 pandemic,Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs)were the only solutions to mitigate COVID-19 infections.Governments continued to use them even after starting vaccine administration.In this research,we review different big data analytics models that assess and optimize the effectiveness of NPIs.These models are categorized into three big data analytics groups:descriptive,which measures the infection rate changes caused by NPIs;predictive,which predicts the future of the pandemic by implementing several NPIs;and data-driven prescriptive,which suggests optimal control policies.We further analyze each method’s basic assumptions,limitations,and applicability during different pandemic phases and under different scenarios.This review of COVID-19 NPI evaluation methods will be beneficial for decision-makers to know which model to select for policy-making in possible future pandemics,which are more likely recently due to globalization.Finally,we suggest some future research directions.
