A Framework for Effective Big data Analytics for Decision Support Systems
Osama Islam, Naif Aljohani, Farrukh Nadeem
Abstract - Supporting decision makers requires a good understanding of the various elements that affect the outcomes of a decision. Decision Support Systems have provided decision makers with such insights throughout its history of usage with varying degrees of success. The availability of data sources was a main limitation to what decision support systems can do. Therefore, with the advent of improved analytical methods for Big data sources new opportunities have emerged that can possibly enhance how decision makers analyze their problem and arrive at decisions using information systems. This paper analyzed current related works on both Big data and decision support systems to identify clear elements and factors relevant to the subject and identifying possible ways to enhance their joint usage. Finally, the paper proposes a framework that integrates the key components needed to ensure the quality and relevance of data being analyzed by decision support systems while providing the benefits of insights generated over time from past decisions and positive recommendations.

Gurkan Tuna, Resul Das, B. Ramakrishnan, Yilmaz Kilicaslan
Abstract - In recent years, solutions based on machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have started to support us in many areas of our life and work. However, the amount of data collected by M2M has increased tremendously and surpassed our expectations. This makes it necessary to investigate data mining methodologies and machine learning techniques in order to efficiently utilize large amounts of data gathered by M2M devices. In this paper, we first review existing data mining and machine-learning techniques specifically designed and proposed for M2M networks. Then, we discuss Big Data concept, investigate Big Data analysis techniques, and the importance of Big Data for M2M networks. Finally, we investigate research challenges and open research issues in M2M to provide an insight into future research opportunities.
