Data-Driven Modeling and Predictive Analysis for Business, Social, Economic, and Engineering Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Data-driven modeling and predictive analysis have become indispensable tools in understanding and shaping various aspects of our modern society. In the realms of business, social interactions, economics, and engineering, the integration of data-driven approaches has revolutionized decision-making processes and empowered organizations to anticipate trends, mitigate risks, and seize opportunities with greater precision and efficiency. This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted applications of data-driven modeling and predictive analysis within the contexts of business, social dynamics, economic trends, and engineering applications.

Key to this exploration are advanced technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and predictive analytics. These methodologies have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in processing vast amounts of data, extracting meaningful insights, and predicting future trends with unprecedented accuracy. By harnessing the power of these cutting-edge technologies, researchers and practitioners can unlock new possibilities for innovation and decision-making across a wide range of applications.

This Special Issue invites contributions that delve into the application of data-driven modeling and predictive analysis in diverse contexts, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Business intelligence and analytics.
• Social network analysis and prediction.
• Economic forecasting and trend analysis.
• Engineering optimization and predictive maintenance.
• Financial market analysis and prediction.
• Supply chain optimization and demand forecasting.
• Customer behavior analysis and prediction.
• Infrastructure optimization.
• Smart city, smart traffic, and smart campus applications.
• Long-term care engineering analysis and prediction.
• Healthcare engineering analysis and prediction.
• Environmental monitoring and prediction.
• Data-driven modeling in social and lifelong education.
• Environmental protection and sustainable engineering.

By examining these diverse applications, we aim to showcase the versatility and effectiveness of data-driven approaches in addressing real-world challenges and driving innovation across various domains. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute original research articles, reviews, case studies, and perspectives that highlight the advancements and opportunities in data-driven modeling and predictive analysis.
