Special Issue on Data Management
Journal of Computer Science and Technology (http://jcst.ict.ac.cn/)
Data management is a major area of computer science and an active area for research. Data management also plays an important role in IT industry. In recent years, a lot of new research issues and solutions emerge in this area. Nowadays, many new applications and technology trends affect data management. The Internet, Web, science, eCommerce, and cheap microsensors are enormous sources of data and data-processing demands. For example, sciences including physics, biology and health are generating large and complex data sets which need more advanced data management technology to process. With the rapid development of hardware and software techniques, original research assumptions are being re-evaluated so that many traditional research topics such as data models, access methods, query processing algorithms, and query languages are valued to be restudied although they have been well studied before. There are research challenges on all aspects of data management.
This special issue will bring together practitioners and researchers to work on all the new issues of Data Management, and encourages the submission of original research work including novel approaches in data management, visions that present new viewpoints and challenges. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
l Approximation, uncertainty, and probabilistic databases
l Benchmarking and performance evaluation
l Database Keyword Search
l Data cleaning, transformation, migration, and lineage
l Data mining and knowledge discovery
l Data models, semantics, and query languages
