Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Governmental agencies, independent organizations, educational institutes, and business entities around the globe relentlessly carryout experimentations, surveys, and analyses on numerous issues. As a result, a huge amount of intellectual resources (data, information, and/or knowledge) has been accumulated and stored in numerical, textual, graphical, audio, and video forms. In general, when we link and access such intellectual resources through the Internet, we call it “big data.” Nowadays, we have big data for such sectors as agriculture, health, local government, climate, ecosystems, consumers, manufacturing, energy, marine, public safety, finance, and scientific research. The fact of the matter is that big data will serve as a source of decision-relevant information while making both formal and informal decisions in all sectors mentioned above and beyond. In this Special Issue, we invite our colleagues to publish original articles, reviews, and technical notes related to the following topics (but not limited to them):

  • Big data driven multi-criteria decision formulation
  • Big data driven sector-centric decision making
  • Big data driven decision computation (e.g., new aggregation function and alternative ranking process)
  • Influence of different forms (e.g., numerical, textual, and graphical) of big data in the decision making process
  • Multi-agent decision making using big data
  • Uncertainty management for big data driven decision making
  • New apps and tools for multi-criteria decision making using big data
  • Usages of big data in making decisions for Industry 4.0/Society 5.0
  • Integration of sector-wise big data for decision making
  • Artificial Intelligence and/or computational intelligence for big data driven decision making
  • Problems related to big data driven decision making

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. Big Data and Cognitive Computing 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Online market places make their profit based on their advertisements or sales commission while businesses have the commercial interest to rank higher on recommendations to attract more customers. Web users cannot be guaranteed that the products provided by recommender systems within Big Data are either exhaustive or relevant to their needs. This article analyses the product rank relevance provided by different commercial Big Data recommender systems (Grouplens film, Trip Advisor and Amazon); it also proposes an Intelligent Recommender System (IRS) based on the Random Neural Network; IRS acts as an interface between the customer and the different Recommender Systems that iteratively adapts to the perceived user relevance. In addition, a relevance metric that combines both relevance and rank is presented; this metric is used to validate and compare the performance of the proposed algorithm. On average, IRS outperforms the Big Data recommender systems after learning iteratively from its customer. Full article

Measuring productivity is the systematic process for both inter- and intra-organizational comparisons. The productivity measurement can be used to control and facilitate decision-making in manufacturing as well as service organizations. This study’s objective was to develop a decision support framework by integrating an analytic network process (ANP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to tackling productivity measurement and benchmarking problems in a manufacturing environment. The ANP was used to capture the interdependency between the criteria taking into consideration the ambiguity and vagueness. The nonparametric DEA approach was utilized to determine the input-oriented constant returns to scale (CRS) efficiency of different value-adding production units and to benchmark them. The proposed framework was implemented to benchmark the productivity of an apparel manufacturing company. By applying the model, industrial managers can gain benefits by identifying the possible contributing factors that play an important role in increasing the productivity of manufacturing organizations.
