Challenge BigData-1: Scalable software architectures for Big Data. How to address
the fundamental issues of scalability, performance, and availability that become necessary
when dealing with Big Data systems and applications that have to cope with unprecedented
size, speed, diversity and noise of data? How to support such kinds of jobs and deliver
new architectures that, for instance, combine classical RDBMS techniques for storage and
querying on top of NoSQL and MapReduce paradigms? This will lead to a new generation
of software designs that optimise Big Data querying and retrieval.
