Recent attention on the potentiality of cost-effective infrastructures for capturing and processing large amounts of data, known as Big Data has received much attention from researchers and practitioners on the field of analytics. In this paper we discuss on the possible benefits that Big Data can bring on TEL by using the case of large scale comparative assessments as an example. Large scale c...

A constrained version of the Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm for the efficient solution of the optimal reservoir operation problems is proposed in this paper. Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic population-based algorithm that relies on one of the theories of the evolution of universe namely, the Big Bang and Big Crunch theory. An improved formulation of the algorithm na...

metal oxide surge arrester accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important for insulation coordination studies, arrester allocation and system reliability. since quality and reliability of lightning performance studies can be improved with the more efficient representation of the arresters´ dynamic behavior. in this paper, big bang – big crunch and hybrid big bang – big cr...

New Planck scale physics may solve the singularity problems of classical general relativity and may lead to interesting consequences for very early Universe cosmology. Two approaches to these questions are reviewed in this article. The rst is an eeective action approach to including the eeects of Planck scale physics in the basic framework of general relativity. It is shown that eeective action...

The Amitsur–Levitski Theorem tells us that the standard polynomial in 2n non-commuting indeterminates vanishes identically over the matrix algebra Mn(K). For K = R or C and 2≤ r ≤ 2n−1, we investigate how big Sr(A1, . . . ,Ar) can be when A1, . . . ,Ar belong to the unit ball. We privilegiate the Frobenius norm, for which the case r = 2 was solved recently by several authors. Our main result is...

IT fashions are IT innovations within a hyped phase. They are on the rise and claimed to be “the next big thing”. Investing in IT fashions bears potential for high returns in case the technology becomes institutionalized and first mover advantages can be realized. Contrary, it bears the risk of investing in a losing technology. By waiting for others to make the first move organizations bypass t...

This panel is a celebration of artiicial intelligence (AI). Basing its claims to interest on the past accomplishments of AI, it highlights some of the new exciting concepts and technologies that compete for the title The Next Big Thing.

Big Data applications represent an emerging field, which have proved to be crucial in business intelligence and in massive data management. Big Data promises to be the next big thing in the development of strategical computer applications, even if it requires considerable investment and an accurate resource planning, as the architectures needed to perform at the requisite speed need to scale ea...

The next big innovation management theme, what could it possible be? Are we stuck with standardizing the End to End innovation process, using innovation ecosystems and lean forever or is there more to come? There is more to come, the next big thing may be an evolutionary innovation process sucking in all kinds of best practices, it may be white spot anaylsis, helping companies to look beyond th...
