Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The data volume from a variety of sources is exploding at an increasingly rapid rate. As a result, it is essential to collect data from multiple different sources and to manage such massive amounts of data in distributed environments such as on-premise data servers or cloud services such as Amazon AWS, MS Azure, or Google GCP. To address big data challenges, distributed computing techniques have been developed on top of a general-purpose big data framework providing distributed data ingestion (e.g., Apache Flume), distributed file systems (e.g., HDFS), MapReduce-like computation models (e.g., Apache Spark), and large-scale stream-processing (e.g., Apache Kafka). Recently, container-orchestration frameworks (e.g., Kubernetes) have been also widely applied to provide big data services.
With the necessity of distributed or cloud computing, traditional approaches of data ingestion, management, and analysis on various data types such as geo-spatial data, images, and log data need to be developed for the distributed or cloud environments. Machine learning or deep learning-based techniques also need to consider their scalability for multiple distributed or partitioned models. Federated learning is the representative example to distribute a single model into multiple local models and to aggregate them to a global model.
In this Special Issue, we focus on big data management and analysis that require distributed or cloud computing. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following:
- Big data management and analysis on the distributed or cloud environments
- Data sciences with distributed or cloud computing
- Distributed data collection and ingestion
- Machine learning or deep learning-based data analysis with distributed computing
- Federated learning to distributed computing
- Multi-modal data analysis
- Distributed container-based computing
- Distributed sensor data integration and analysis

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
