Internet of Things (IoT), Road Network, Health Service Network, all types of networks suffer from a big challenge of handling the large volume of data generated by those networks. Designing data communication model, network storage, or providing the secured routing for big data are very challenging from the perspective of traffic engineering, cross-layer network design, mitigating security attacks, or privacy preservation. Data acquisition, transmission, storing, or secured routing for big data are difficult tasks for the resource constrained networks. In the panel, we will discuss the challenges and
road map of handling big data over network.
