Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a CFP for a Special Issue, "Innovative System Architectures for High-Performance Geospatial Computing", in the Electronics Journal. This Special Issue invites submissions of original research and review articles related to high-performance geospatial computing, including—but not limited to—innovative hardware and software methods.

Geospatial computing is an emerging field that has become increasingly important in recent years, with applications ranging from navigation systems and smart transportation to environmental monitoring and disaster management. As such, the demand for high-performance geospatial computing systems has grown rapidly, creating a need for innovative system architectures that can support the processing and analysis of large-scale geospatial data.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings and innovations in the field of high-performance geospatial computing. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Innovative hardware and software architectures for geospatial computing.
  • Algorithms and methods for high-performance geospatial data processing and analysis.
  • Cloud for geospatial computing and edge-based solutions.
  • AI for geospatial computing, new algorithms and methods.
  • Geospatial data visualization and user interfaces.
  • Applications of geospatial computing in navigation, transportation, environment, and disaster management.
  • Performance evaluation and benchmarking of geospatial computing systems.

We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, and short communications. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field and accepted papers will be published in the Special Issue.

Event-based social networks (EBSNs) are rich in information about users and leisure events. The willingness of users to participate in leisure events is influenced by many factors such as event time, location, content, organizer, and social relationship factors of users. Event recommendation systems in EBSNs can help leisure event organizers to accurately find users who want to participate in events. However, to address the existing cold-start problems and improve the accuracy of event recommendations, we propose a multiple-feature-based leisure event recommendation model (MFM). We introduce the user’s social contacts into the user preference features and construct a user feature space by integrating the features of the user preferences for events and organizers and preferences of the user’s closest friends. Moreover, considering the behavioral differences between active and inactive users, we extracted the respective features and trained the feature weight models. Finally, the experimental results showed that in comparison with the baseline models, the precision of the MFM is higher by at least 7.9%. Full article

Efficient and convenient rock image classification methods are important for geological research. They help in identifying and categorizing rocks based on their physical and chemical properties, which can provide insights into their geological history, origin, and potential uses in various applications. The classification and identification of rocks often rely on experienced and knowledgeable professionals and are less efficient. Fine-grained rock image classification is a challenging task because of the inherent subtle differences between highly confusing categories, which require a large number of data samples and computational resources, resulting in low recognition accuracy, and are difficult to apply in mobile scenarios, requiring the design of a high-performance image processing classification architecture. In this paper we design a knowledge distillation and high-accuracy feature localization comparison network (FPCN)-based learning architecture for generating small high-performance rock image classification models. Specifically, for a pair of images, we interact with the feature vectors generated from the localized feature maps to capture common and unique features, let the network focus on more complementary information according to the different scales of the objects, and then the important features of the images learned in this way are made available for the micro-model to learn the critical information for discrimination via model distillation. The proposed method improves the accuracy of the micro-model by 3%. Full article
