Syllabus del corso
Obiettivi
At the end of the module students will be able to select, design and query a database (relational or not) according to their application needs
Students will be able to use a NoSql database management system to acquire, memorize and query semi structured data
At the same time students will have competence related to analysis, evaluation and design of complex interactive infographicsContenuti sintetici
Introduction to data management in big data context
data lifecycle
Variety: nosql models and architecture
Volume: data distribution and replication, hadoop architecture
Velocity: data architecture for capturing and elaborating near real time data
The data visualization module covers the essentials of visual design by which to design, and evaluate systems that enable the interactive analysis of data and the flexible optimization of reporting (both in an organizational domain and in data journalism).

Aims
At the end of the module students will be able to select, design and query a database (relational or not) according to their application needs
Students will be able to use a NoSql database management system to acquire, memorize and query semi structured data
At the end of the course students will have acquired skills in analysis, evaluation and, to a lesser extent, development of complex and interactive infographics.Contents
