These stories depict true occurrences reflecting how teenagers dealt with the changes arising during these crucial times in our nation's history. A new world was arising and we had a front-row seat to political changes as well as racial and gender issues. As we traversed these issues of family, culture, and racism, we were bolstered by such things as music and art as well as religion and trying desperately to hold on to our traditional values. We clung to one another and our families as we made our way in an ever-changing landscape; and we progressed, we innovated, we adapted, and succeeded in becoming part of the mosaic that became New York City.

This book presents advances in the field of optical networks - specifically on research and applications in elastic optical networks (EON). The material reflects the authors’ extensive research and industrial activities and includes contributions from preeminent researchers and practitioners in optical networking. The authors discuss the new research and applications that address the issue of increased bandwidth demand due to disruptive, high bandwidth applications, e.g., video and cloud applications. The book also discusses issues with traffic not only increasing but becoming much more dynamic, both in time and direction, and posits immediate, medium, and long-term solutions throughout the text. The book is intended to provide a reference for network architecture and planning, communication systems, and control and management approaches that are expected to steer the evolution of EONs.

El concepto de Big Data no solo hace referencia a grandes colecciones de datos, caracterizadas tanto por su volumen como por la variedad de formatos, sino que incluye también los sistemas y las tecnologías encargadas de almacenar, procesar y dar valor a toda esa información. La motivación para gestionar y analizar estos datos surge de la evidencia de que el estudio de estos grandes volúmenes permite adquirir un conocimiento que no es posible abordando solo conjuntos pequeños.De forma clara y didáctica, el presente libro proporciona una idea panorámica y completa de los diferentes sistemas involucrados en el tratamiento del dato. Esta visión general facilita al lector la comprensión sencilla de los temas tratados, y proporciona el posicionamiento y la asimilación de los distintos elementos que componen el ecosistema de tecnologías, servicios y soluciones de Big Data.Comenzando por las arquitecturas para la organización de la información, el libro se adentra en los sistemas para el almacenamiento y procesado del dato, llegando después a las distintas formas de explotación analítica: descriptiva, predictiva, prescriptiva y cognitiva. El gobierno del dato y la gestión de las distintas operaciones involucradas cierran este amplio e interesante recorrido.
