Abstract

We present results from questionnaire data that were collected from leading data analytics experts in Austria. The online survey addresses very current and pressing questions in the area of (big) data analysis. Our findings provide valuable insights about what top Austrian data scientists think about data analytics, what they consider as important application areas that can benefit from big data and data processing, the challenges of the future and how soon these challenges will become important, and the potential research topics of tomorrow. We visualize results, summarize our findings and suggest a possible roadmap for future decision making.
