AB  - We are living in an information age and there is enormous amount of data that is flowing between systems, internet, telephones, and other media. The development of Internet, Internet of Things, and Cloud computing lead to growth of data in almost every industry and business area. Big data has rapidly developed into the hot topic, attracts extensive attention from academia, industry, and governments around the world. The data is being collected and stored at unprecedented rates. In this paper, the concept of big data is introduced briefly, including its definition, features, significances, opportunities and value. We describe the grand challenges (namely, data complexity, computational complexity, and system complexity), as well as possible solutions to address these challenges.
