The significance of big data can be observed in any decision-making process as it is often used for forecasting and predictive analytics. Additionally, big data can be used to build a holistic view of an enterprise through a collection and analysis of large data sets retrospectively. As the data deluge deepens, new methods for analyzing, comprehending, and making use of big data become necessary. Enterprise Big Data Engineering, Analytics, and Management presents novel methodologies and practical approaches to engineering, managing, and analyzing large-scale data sets with a focus on enterprise applications and implementation. Featuring essential big data concepts including data mining, artificial intelligence, and information extraction, this publication provides a platform for retargeting the current research available in the field. Data analysts, IT professionals, researchers, and graduate-level students will find the timely research presented in this publication essential to furthering their knowledge in the field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning, ECCBR 2004, held in Fethiye, Turkey in September 2006. The book presents 31 revised full papers and 5 revised application papers together with 2 invited papers and 2 abstracts of invited talks. The coverage represents snapshot of current current issues in case-based reasoning, ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to advanced applications in various fields.

Professional knowledge management is imperative for the success of enterprises. One decisive factor for the success of knowledge management projects is the coordination of elements such as corporate culture, enterprise organization, - man resource management, as well as information and communication techn- ogy. The proper alignment and balancing of these factors are currently little understood especially the role of information technology, which is often - garded only as an implementation tool, though it can be a catalyst by making new knowledge management solutions possible. This conference brought together representativesfrom practical and research ?elds for discussing experiences, professional applications, and visions through presentations, workshops, tutorials, and an accompanying industry exhibition. The main focus of the conference was the realization of knowledge mana- ment strategies with the aid of innovative information technology solutions, such as intelligent access to organizational memories, or integration of business processes and knowledge management. Also of interest were holistic/integrative approaches to knowledge management that deal with issues raised by the in- gration of people, organizations, and information technology."

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning Research and Development, ICCBR 2016, held in Atlanta, GA, USA, in October/November 2016. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of CBR topics that are of interest both to researchers and practitioners from foundations of Case-Based Reasoning; over CBR systems for specific tasks and related fields; up to CBR systems, applications and lessons learned in specific areas of expertise such as health; e-science; finance; energy, logistics, traffic; game/AI; cooking; diagnosis, technical support; as well as knowledge and experience management.
