Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to present research papers that apply novel big data technologies in a variety of areas.

With the rapid growth of data, big data have attracted the attention of researchers. These huge data are extremely useful and valuable for scientific exploration, improving business productivity and human progress. Big data technologies have been widely applied in a variety of areas, such as social science, finance, health care, the environment and climate. In addition, with the development of big data technologies, many applications have also been developed, such as recommendation systems and anomaly detection. 

I thus invite you to submit your innovative and high-quality contributions in the form of original research papers to show the progress made in these areas. The topics for this Special Issue include, but are not restricted to, big data analytics, big data visualization, novel theory, novel algorithms, and big data technology-based applications

Many vehicles are connected to the Internet, and big data are continually created. Various studies have been conducted involving the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning technology, and big data frameworks. The analysis of smart mobility big data is essential and helps to address problems that arise as society faces increased future mobility. In this paper, we analyze application issues such as personal information leakage and data visualization due to increased data exchange in detail, as well as approaches focusing on analyses exploiting machine learning and architecture research exploiting big data frameworks, such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Kafka. Finally, future research directions and open challenges are discussed. Full article

This paper presents an innovative prefetching algorithm for a hybrid main memory structure, which consists of DRAM and phase-change memory. To enhance the efficiency of hybrid memory hardware in serving big data technologies, the proposed design employs an application-adaptive algorithm based on big data execution characteristics. Specifically optimized for graph-processing applications, which exhibit complex and irregular memory access patterns, a dual prefetching scheme is proposed. This scheme comprises a fast-response model with low-cost algorithms for regular memory access patterns and an intelligent model based on an adaptive Gaussian-kernel-based machine-learning prefetch engine. The intelligent model can acquire knowledge from real-time data samples, capturing distinct memory access patterns via an adaptive Gaussian-kernel-based regression algorithm. These methods allow the model to self-adjust its hyperparameters at runtime, facilitating the implementation of locally weighted regression (LWR) for the Gaussian process of irregular access patterns. In addition, we introduced an efficient hybrid main memory architecture that integrates two different kinds of memory technologies, including DRAM and PCM, providing cost and energy efficiency over a DRAM-only memory structure. Based on the simulation-based experimental results, our proposed model achieved performance enhancement of 57% compared to the conventional DRAM model and of approximately 12% compared to existing prefetcher-based models.
