Big data: a research agenda

Recently, a great deal of interest for Big Data has risen, mainly driven from a widespread number of research problems strongly related to real-life applications and systems, such as representing, modeling, processing, querying and mining massive, distributed, large-scale repositories (mostly being of unstructured nature). Inspired by this main trend, in this paper we discuss three important aspects of Big Data research, namely OLAP over Big Data, Big Data Posting, and Privacy of Big Data. We also depict future research directions, hence implicitly defining a research agenda aiming at leading future challenges in this research field.
