Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Big data analytics (BDA) extract valuable knowledge from large sets of data and provide support for decision making by discovering patterns. Thus, companies that utilize advanced BDA techniques will grow faster than their competitors. The big data analytics process contains several steps, such as data collection, preprocessing and modeling. The fact that these steps must be carried out manually in the BDA process hinders the ability to make quick decisions in real-time data applications. Therefore, it is necessary to automate the BDA process. The BDA process can be modeled as a workflow, and the Automatic Service Composition (ASC) technique can be used to realize some level of automation. ASC consists of four stages: planning, discovery, selection, and execution. It can be used to orchestrate existing services to complete larger tasks, resulting in a new composite and value-added web service. The automatic BDA process can be improved significantly by utilizing machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches. In this Special Issue, topics including, but not limited to, BDA, the automation of BDA via ASC, and the application of ML/DL regarding BDA and its automation can be covered.

The World Wide Web is evolving rapidly, and the Internet is now accessible to millions of users, providing them with the means to access a wealth of information, entertainment and e-commerce opportunities. Web browsing is largely impersonal and anonymous, and because of the large population that uses it, it is difficult to separate and categorize users according to their preferences. One solution to this problem is to create a web-platform that acts as a middleware between end users and the web, in order to analyze the data that is available to them. The method by which user information is collected and sorted according to preference is called ‘user profiling‘. These profiles could be enriched using neural networks. In this article, we present our implementation of an online profiling mechanism in a virtual e-shop and how neural networks could be used to predict the characteristics of new users. The major contribution of this article is to outline the way our online profiles could be beneficial both to customers and stores. When shopping at a traditional physical store, real time targeted “personalized” advertisements can be delivered directly to the mobile devices of consumers while they are walking around the stores next to specific products, which match their buying habits.
