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 53rd issue of Transactions on Large-scale Data and
Knowledge-centered Systems, contains six fully revised selected regular
papers. Topics covered include time series management from edge to
cloud, segmentation for time series representation, similarity research,
semantic similarity in a taxonomy, linked data semantic distance,
linguistics-informed natural language processing, graph neural network,
protected features, imbalanced data, causal consistency in distributed
databases, actor model, and elastic horizontal scalability.
