<p class="MsoNormal">The emergence of big data and the potential to
undertake complex analysis of very large data sets is, essentially, a
consequence of recent advances in the technology that allow this. The
development of cloud computing over the last few years represents the
single most important contributor to the big data trend, with cloud
infrastructure such as compute, storage and analytical tools and
apps now widely available. The convergence of big data and cloud
computing are having far reaching implications that indeed are changing the
world. MapReduce, a widely-adopted parallel and
distributed programming paradigm for processing large-scale data sets,
becomes much more powerful, scalable, elastic and cost-effective when
integrated in cloud systems as it can benefits from the salient
characteristics of cloud computing. Based on the MapReduce paradigm and other
relevant techniques like HDFS, a series of applications and higher level
platforms such as Hadoop, Hive, Twister, Spark, Pregel, to name a few, have
been proposed and developed. MapReduce and the emerging tools in cloud are
ideal for enterprises with large data centres and scientific communities to
address the challenges posed by big data applications. The MapReduce paradigm
itself, emerging MapReduce based big data tools and applications, and big
data infrastructure such as cloud systems are evolving fast, and therefore
need extensive investigations from various research communities.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This symposium aims at providing a forum for
researchers, practitioners and developers from different background areas
such as cloud computing, distributed computing, large-scale data management
and database areas to exchange the latest experience, research ideas and
synergic research and development on fundamental issues and applications
about MapReduce, MapReduce based platforms and emerging big data
infrastructure. The symposium solicits high quality research results in all
related areas.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is the third instalment of the symposium,
following the successful events of <a href="http://www.swinflow.org/confs/mrbdi2013/" target="_blank"><span style="color:windowtext">2013</span></a> (Australia)
and <a href="http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bigdatamr2012" target="_blank"><span style="color:windowtext">2012</span></a> (China).</p>
