Data Infrastructures

Dear Colleagues,

Data infrastructure is a grouping of data assets. The purpose of data infrastructures is to supply information services by protecting, preserving, processing, moving, securing, and serving data and the applications that use it. Hardware, software, cloud services, servers, storage, I/O, networking, people, processes, rules, and a variety of tools spanning legacy, software-defined virtual networks, containers, and the cloud are among the technologies that make up data infrastructures.

We are looking for high-caliber, original research articles for this Special Issue that highlight cutting-edge approaches and procedures utilized in the creation, administration, and evaluation of data infrastructures. We encourage theoretical and application articles of the highest technical caliber from all disciplines, promoting awareness of approaches and procedures in one field that can be useful in another. We are looking for high-caliber submissions of original research articles and review articles on all facets of data infrastructure management that could be used in real-world settings.

• Data management related to healthcare, agriculture, education and power consumption
• New designs in data infrastructures
• Data infrastructure safety and security
• Data reliability and its compliance
