Each group will define a data-rich topic for which data resources are benchmarked or evidenced availability. The topic should be captured in a problem statement that will describe data resource(s) and data capture, storage and processing challenges.

This will be a combined group exercise with each member of the group taking one system for critical assessment, and then the group will provide a critical review of the state of the art big data solutions relevant for the topic of choice, and a critical evaluation of each individual work into a comparative summary document.

Each group member is required to review one of the (big data) systems available for the big data applications nowadays (such as in the Kovacs comparison

(https://kkovacs.eu/cassandra –vs –mongodb –vs –couchdb –vs –redis ) and relevant for the group topic.

Requirements: A non-exclusive list of areas to be covered would be:

Problem statement and specifications;
Architecture, platforms and availability of the system;
Language(s) it is available in and can work with;
Existing users and use areas;
Critical Review of documentation and support for the system;
Review of others comments/experiences of the system;
Your own experience of downloading/building the system and using it with a data set that shows big data features (with evidence).
Any other issues such as: ethical, security, data protection features and coverage.
Examples and facts could be attached as appendices.
