The results in this study indicate that the selected papers were mainly published between 2013 and 2015 and focus on technological issues regarding big data. Diverse new approaches, methods, frameworks and systems are proposed for data collection, storage, transport, processing and analysis in the selected papers. Possible directions for f...
