  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Closing the Gap Between Practice and Research in Industrial Engineering

Abstract

Emerging Technologies are having a huge impact in the income statement of current enterprises and therefore they must be adopted as soon as possible. Thus, any attempt to introduce the characteristics and evolution of this kind of technologies is helpful for decision makers. In this sense, this paper aims at depicting Big Data, one of these cutting edge technologies, by obtaining a complete profile of it and generating the bases for a valid forecast. The approach is made within the Information Structuring and Technological Forecasting fields, with the application of several methods, namely: Text Mining and Natural Language Processing, Visualization Techniques and Trend Analysis.
