GCETM 2019 - 2019 VI. Global Conference on Engineering and Technology Management

Big data refers to the ever-growing volume of structured and unstructured data, increasing speed in the generation of that data, and increased diversity of types of data. Big data is also a developing topic and has attracted the attention of many researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering. Big data may play an enabling and vital role in the design of products and systems by making them more productive, better connected, more intelligent and autonomous, and extensively accessible. But big data research is still in its early stages. Its focus is rather uncertain and related studies are not well integrated. The Global Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Its Application Areas (GJCIE) 2019 will shed light on the role of industrial engineering in the Big Data Era.
