The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability. Current decentralized systems still focus on data and knowledge as their main resource. Feasibility of these systems relies basically on P2P (peer-to-peer) techniques and the support of agent systems with scaling and decentralized control. Synergy between grids, P2P systems, and agent technologies is the key to data- and knowledge-centered systems in large-scale environments. This, the 41st issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains seven revised, extended papers selected from the 4th International Conference on Future Data and Security Engineering, FDSE 2017, which was held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in November/December 2017. The main focus of this special issue is on data and security engineering, as well as engineering applications.

Climate change is reshaping our world with increasing intensity and frequency, resulting in devastating hurricanes, catastrophic floods, prolonged droughts, and wildfires. As these extreme events become more frequent, the need for comprehensive strategies to manage risks and adapt to new realities is more urgent than ever.Climate Change and Risk Management - Strategies, Analysis, and Adaptation offers a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change. This volume provides essential insights into risk management, climate data analysis, and the use of technological tools to predict and mitigate natural disasters. It highlights innovative methodologies for summarizing complex climate data, modeling tropical cyclones, and employing WebGIS technology for multi-risk analysis in coastal areas. Readers will find practical applications through detailed case studies and scenario analysis, demonstrating the importance of accurate modeling in disaster preparedness and response. The book also addresses the human and policy dimensions of climate change, exploring the dynamic nature of human vulnerability and resilience, the crucial role of science-policy interfacing, and the integration of systemic risk into disaster risk reduction strategies. By presenting both theoretical frameworks and practical solutions, this volume is an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers dedicated to managing and adapting to the risks posed by climate change. With its comprehensive coverage of climate change impacts and risk management strategies, this book is designed to enhance our collective understanding and capability to address one of the most pressing issues of our time. Whether you are a scientist, a policymaker, or a concerned citizen, Climate Change and Risk Management - Strategies, Analysis, and Adaptation equips you with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of a changing climate.

This book gathers selected papers presented at the International Conference on Sentimental Analysis and Deep Learning (ICSADL 2021), jointly organized by Tribhuvan University, Nepal; Prince of Songkla University, Thailand; and Ejesra during June, 18–19, 2021. The volume discusses state-of-the-art research works on incorporating artificial intelligence models like deep learning techniques for intelligent sentiment analysis applications. Emotions and sentiments are emerging as the most important human factors to understand the prominent user-generated semantics and perceptions from the humongous volume of user-generated data. In this scenario, sentiment analysis emerges as a significant breakthrough technology, which can automatically analyze the human emotions in the data-driven applications. Sentiment analysis gains the ability to sense the existing voluminous unstructured data and delivers a real-time analysis to efficiently automate the business processes. Meanwhile, deep learning emerges as the revolutionary paradigm with its extensive data-driven representation learning architectures. This book discusses all theoretical aspects of sentimental analysis, deep learning and related topics.

This book is nothing less than a complete and comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of terrorism informatics. It covers the application of advanced methodologies and information fusion and analysis. It also lays out techniques to acquire, integrate, process, analyze, and manage the diversity of terrorism-related information for international and homeland security-related applications. The book details three major areas of terrorism research: prevention, detection, and established governmental responses to terrorism. It systematically examines the current and ongoing research, including recent case studies and application of terrorism informatics techniques. The coverage then presents the critical and relevant social/technical areas to terrorism research including social, privacy, data confidentiality, and legal challenges.

Tropical forests are an undervalued asset in meeting the greatest global challenges of our time—averting climate change and promoting development. Despite their importance, tropical forests and their ecosystems are being destroyed at a high and even increasing rate in most forest-rich countries. The good news is that the science, economics, and politics are aligned to support a major international effort over the next five years to reverse tropical deforestation. Why Forests? Why Now? synthesizes the latest evidence on the importance of tropical forests in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in climate change and development and to readers already familiar with the problem of deforestation. It makes the case to decisionmakers in rich countries that rewarding developing countries for protecting their forests is urgent, affordable, and achievable.

The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing (e.g., computing resources, services, metadata, data sources) across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability. This, the 50th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains five fully revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include data anonymization, quasi-identifier discovery methods, symbolic time series representation, detection of anomalies in time series, data quality management in biobanks, and the use of multi-agent technology in the design of intelligent systems for maritime transport.
