'"Big Data" is one of the buzz words of our time, due to the tremendous amount of data that is produced by billions of smart devices everywhere around us. (...) One of the big questions that many people are asking is "What do we do with all this data?" The book by Prof. Messina is one of the answers to this question. The author is an IEEE Fellow and one of the global authorities' on wide area electric power systems stability. (...) In this book Prof. Messina looks at the impact of all the new sensors, advanced communications systems and improved data processing techniques which make wide area system monitoring a realistic capability of energy management and system integrity protection systems.'
