Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems XXII

The specialized book "Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems XXII" is a comprehensive collection of research findings that addresses the central themes of data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing in computer science. This 22nd edition of the journal presents six revised, selected articles that deal with current challenges and developments in the realm of large data sets and decentralized systems. The contributions illuminate various aspects, including algorithms for private analysis of large data sets, modeling entities from social and digital worlds, as well as innovative approaches to data aggregation in sensor networks. The publication reflects the ongoing evolution from centralized to decentralized systems, which are crucial for large-scale distributed applications. The synergy between grid technologies, peer-to-peer systems, and agent technologies is highlighted as key to the development of effective data- and knowledge-centered systems in extensive environments.
