Research paper

This week's reading centered around how Big Data analytics can be used with Smart Cities. This is exciting and can provide many benefits to individuals as well as organizations. For this week's research assignment, you are to search the Internet for other uses of Big Data in RADICAL platforms. Please pick an organization or two and discuss the usage of big data in RADICAL platforms including how big data analytics is used in those situations as well as with Smart Cities. Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is the 2nd best option to use for research.
