Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exponential growth of web technologies and data management tools has led to the possibility of accessing a large amount of data and the increasingly growing need to have data analysis and data mining methods suitable for dealing with massive data.
In order to explore large and very large datasets, it is necessary to experiment with innovative methods that guarantee an optimal performance while being unable to analyze the entire dataset as in traditional cases. Some variations of existing clustering algorithms based on data and dimension reduction techniques are proposed in the recent literature in order to deal with massive datasets.
Of considerable importance is designing efficient clustering algorithms to treat massive data for the fundamental role of cluster analysis in data and text mining and its applicability in many disciplines, such as image analysis, market analysis, spatial analysis, sentiment analysis, and bioinformatics.
This Special Issue on new trends in massive data clustering is aimed at industrial and academic researchers applying nontraditional clustering methods for handling massive data. The key areas of this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Kmeans and Fuzzy Cmeans variations for massive data;
- Fuzzy clustering for high dimensional data;
- Density-based and hybrid metaheuristic clustering algorithms;
- Big data clustering;
- Network modularity clustering;
- Cluster techniques for massive social media data streams;
- Cluster techniques for segmenting high resolution images.

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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
