The brief focuses on applying sublinear algorithms to manage critical
big data challenges. The text offers an essential introduction to
sublinear algorithms, explaining why they are vital to large scale data
systems. It also demonstrates how to apply sublinear algorithms to three
familiar big data applications: wireless sensor networks, big data
processing in Map Reduce and smart grids. These applications present
common experiences, bridging the theoretical advances of sublinear
algorithms and the application domain. Sublinear Algorithms for Big Data
Applications is suitable for researchers, engineers and graduate
students in the computer science, communications and signal processing
communities.
