Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Big data is a term that has risen to prominence describing data that exceeds the processing capacity of conventional database systems. McKinsey and company announced the big data revolution in 2011 and suggested that the age of relational database management systems and SQL-based data manipulation and access methods was drawing to a close because those technologies could not keep pace with what McKinsey projected was a coming deluge of new and complex data sets, for most organizations in most industries. This projection is getting more challenging with the lack of mechanisms for managing all of the metadata associated with the big data “data pool” — where data sets reside, how they entered the pool, what data engineering flows they are implicated in, what kinds of algorithms and decision-making processes the data sets are suitable (and unsuitable) for, what kinds of governance, regulatory and compliance restrictions are associated with the data sets, and so forth. This technology is tagged today as big data connectivity, which is a growing area of importance as the world is entering the new Industry 4.0 with the increasing reliance on extreme connectivity and automation. The heterogeneity of the big data landscape is characterized not only by the distributed nature and connectivity of its most prominent technologies, but also by their underlying architectures. There is great need for mechanisms for expressing, managing, versioning, executing and monitoring data engineering work streams and models and algorithms consuming data from the data pool and from data warehouses as well as mechanisms for orchestrating data flows that cross the logical boundary between the data pool. This Special Issue is an attempt to study big data and analytics in the era of extreme connectivity and automation that relies on technologies like IoT, big data connectivity, blockchain, named data networking and artificial intelligence.

The rapid development of distributed technology has made it possible to store and query massive trajectory data. As a result, a variety of schemes for big trajectory data management have been proposed. However, the factor of data transmission is not considered in most of these, resulting in a certain impact on query efficiency. In view of that, we present THBase, a coprocessor-based scheme for big trajectory data management in HBase. THBase introduces a segment-based data model and a moving-object-based partition model to solve massive trajectory data storage, and exploits a hybrid local secondary index structure based on Observer coprocessor to accelerate spatiotemporal queries. Furthermore, it adopts certain maintenance strategies to ensure the colocation of relevant data. Based on these, THBase designs node-locality-based parallel query algorithms by Endpoint coprocessor to reduce the overhead caused by data transmission, thus ensuring efficient query performance. Experiments on datasets of ship trajectory show that our schemes can significantly outperform other schemes. Full article

To obtain the target webpages from many webpages, we proposed a Method for Filtering Pages by Similarity Degree based on Dynamic Programming (MFPSDDP). The method needs to use one of three same relationships proposed between two nodes, so we give the definition of the three same relationships. The biggest innovation of MFPSDDP is that it does not need to know the structures of webpages in advance. First, we address the design ideas with queue and double threads. Then, a dynamic programming algorithm for calculating the length of the longest common subsequence and a formula for calculating similarity are proposed. Further, for obtaining detailed information webpages from 200,000 webpages downloaded from the famous website “www.jd.com”, we choose the same relationship Completely Same Relationship (CSR) and set the similarity threshold to 0.2. The Recall Ratio (RR) of MFPSDDP is in the middle in the four filtering methods compared. When the number of webpages filtered is nearly 200,000, the PR of MFPSDDP is highest in the four filtering methods compared, which can reach 85.1%. The PR of MFPSDDP is 13.3 percentage points higher than the PR of a Method for Filtering Pages by Containing Strings (MFPCS). Full article

The prevalence that people share their opinions on the products and services in their daily lives on the Internet has generated a large quantity of comment data, which contain great business value. As for comment sentences, they often contain several comment aspects and the sentiment on these aspects are different, which makes it meaningless to give an overall sentiment polarity of the sentence. In this paper, we introduce Attention-based Aspect-level Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (AARCNN) to analyze the remarks at aspect-level. The model integrates attention mechanism and target information analysis, which enables the model to concentrate on the important parts of the sentence and to make full use of the target information. The model uses bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM) to build the memory of the sentence, and then CNN is applied to extracting attention from memory to get the attentive sentence representation. The model uses aspect embedding to analyze the target information of the representation and finally the model outputs the sentiment polarity through a softmax layer. The model was tested on multi-language datasets, and demonstrated that it has better performance than conventional deep learning methods. Full article
