Transactions On Large Scale Data And Knowledge Centered Systems Xl

This, the 40th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains five revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include personalized social query expansion approaches, continuous query on social media streams, elastic processing systems, and semantic interoperability for smart grids and NoSQL environments.

This, the 13th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains six revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include federated data sources, information filtering, web data clouding, query reformulation, package skyline queries and SPARQL query processing over a LaV (Local-as-View) integration system.

This fifth issue of the LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems offers nine full-length focusing on such hot topics as data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing.

This, the 25th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains five fully revised selected papers focusing on data and knowledge management systems. Topics covered include a framework consisting of two heuristics with slightly different characteristics to compute the action rating of data stores, a theoretical and experimental study of filter-based equijoins in a MapReduce environment, a constraint programming approach based on constraint reasoning to study the view selection and data placement problem given a limited amount of resources, a formalization and an approximate algorithm to tackle the problem of source selection and query decomposition in federations of SPARQL endpoints, and a matcher factory enabling the generation of a dedicated schema matcher for a given schema matching scenario.

This, the 39th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains extended and revised versions of seven papers selected from the 37 contributions presented at the 28th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2017, held in Lyon, France, in August 2017. Topics covered include knowledge bases, clustering algorithms, parallel frequent itemset mining, model-driven engineering, virtual machines, recommendation systems, and federated SPARQL query processing.

The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing (e.g., computing resources, services, metadata, data sources) across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability. This, the 45th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains eight revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include data analysis, information extraction, blockchains, and big data.

This, the 12th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains five revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include schema matching and schema mapping, update propagation in decision support systems, routing methods in peer-to-peer systems, distributed stream analytics and dynamic data partitioning.
