An Autoscaling Platform Supporting Graph Data Modelling Big Data Analytics

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 Jun 29:295:376-379. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220743.

Abstract

Big Data has proved to be vast and complex, without being efficiently manageable through traditional architectures, whereas data analysis is considered crucial for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Current analytics platforms are siloed for specific domains, whereas the requirements to enhance their use and lower their technicalities are continuously increasing. This paper describes a domain-agnostic single access autoscaling Big Data analytics platform, namely Diastema, as a collection of efficient and scalable components, offering user-friendly analytics through graph data modelling, supporting technical and non-technical stakeholders. Diastema's applicability is evaluated in healthcare through a predicting classifier for a COVID19 dataset, considering real-world constraints.

Keywords: analytics; big data; cloud computing; graph modelling; user experience.
