Objective

--------------

This book aims to collect those novel works and techniques that enable a fully processing and understanding of human opinions applying or enhancing existing AI and Big Data analytics techniques through semantics. Thus, the book seeks for researchers from Computer Science, Information Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Knowledge representation Natural Language Processing, Cloud Computing, Distributed Systems, Cognitive Computing and related areas to share research challenges, results, methods and advances in the application of semantics and Big Data as an important key process in the new data environment, paying special attention in papers which covers the direct application or creation of advanced techniques based on processing Big Data with semantic-based approaches.

Target Audience

-----------------------------

The subject area is a combination of semantic-based technologies, Linked Data, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Expert Systems, Business, Management, Information Technologies and Information Systems in which a broad scope of audience is interested in: Politicians, Professors in academia, Policy Makers, Government officers, Students, Corporate heads of firms, Senior general managers, Managing directors, Board directors, Academics and researchers in the field both in universities and business schools, Information technology directors and managers, Quality managers and directors, Human resource directors, Libraries and information centers serving the needs of the above among others.
