Advances in sensor, wireless communication, and information infrastructure such as GPS, WiFi, and mobile phone technology have enabled us to collect and process massive amounts of mobile data from multiple sources but under operational time. These so-called big data have become a major driving force of new waves of productivity growth, application innovation, and consumer surplus. The big data are usually immense, fine-grained, diversified, dynamic, and sufficiently information-rich in nature, and thus demand a radical change in the philosophy of data analytics. In this talk, we introduce some emerging big data applications and discuss the technical and domain challenges of big data analytics in mobile environments. In particularly, it is especially important to investigate how the underlying computational models can be adapted for managing the uncertainties in relation to big data process in a huge nebulous environment.
