Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Extracting knowledge from data is a fundamental process in the creation of intelligent information retrieval systems, decision support, and knowledge management. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of research that addresses data mining methods, multidimensional data analysis, supervised and unsupervised learning methods, methods of knowledge base management, language ontologies, ontology learning, and others. We encourage you to present novel algorithms and work on practical solutions, i.e., applications/systems presenting the real-world application of the proposed research achievements.

The Special Issue covers the entire process of knowledge engineering, from data acquisition and data mining to knowledge extraction and exploitation. This Special Issue therefore encourages researchers to contribute to a collective effort that promotes the comprehension of trends and future questions in the field of knowledge engineering and data mining. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • knowledge acquisition and engineering;
  • data mining methods;
  • big knowledge analytics;
  • data mining, knowledge discovery, and machine learning;
  • knowledge modeling and processing;
  • knowledge acquisition and engineering;
  • query and natural language processing;
  • data and information modeling;
  • data and information semantics;
  • data-intensive applications;
  • knowledge representation and reasoning;
  • decision support systems;
  • decision-making;
  • group decision-making;
  • rules mining;
  • outliers mining;
  • data exploration;
  • data science;
  • semantic web data and linked data;
  • ontologies and controlled vocabularies;
  • data acquisition;
  • multidimensional data analysis;
  • artificial intelligence and knowledge management;
  • knowledge representation in artificial intelligence;
  • supervised and unsupervised learning methods;
  • parallel processing and modeling;
  • languages based on parallel programming and data mining.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Streaming data are present all around us. From traditional radio systems streaming audio to today’s connected end-user devices constantly sending information or accessing services, data are flowing constantly between nodes across various networks. The demand for appropriate outlier detection (OD) methods in the fields of fault detection, special events detection, and malicious activities detection and prevention is not only persistent over time but increasing, especially with the recent developments in Telecommunication systems such as Fifth Generation (5G) networks facilitating the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT). The process of selecting a computationally efficient OD method, adapted for a specific field and accounting for the existence of empirical data, or lack thereof, is non-trivial. This paper presents a thorough survey of OD methods, categorized by the applications they are implemented in, the basic assumptions that they use according to the characteristics of the streaming data, and a summary of the emerging challenges, such as the evolving structure and nature of the data and their dimensionality and temporality. A categorization of commonly used datasets in the context of streaming data is produced to aid data source identification for researchers in this field. Based on this, guidelines for OD method selection are defined, which consider flexibility and sample size requirements and facilitate the design of such algorithms in Telecommunications and other industries.
