| Course Objectives | This course provides an understanding of the application of software technologies that enables users to make better and faster decisions based on big data features. Students will learn the principles and best practices for how to use big data in order to support fact-based decision-making. Emphasis will be given to applications in various data which has big data facilities. Therefore, in this course, the algorithms which are given in the class targeted the big data facilities in order to teach student this structure. |
