Summary

Complex systems are nonlinear systems composed of agents that can act with local environmental information. As the agents are usually of a high degree of complexity, such systems require a huge amount of data to extract appropriate insights for their decision-making. To support huge-volume data sensing, collection, storage, transmission, management, and analytics, cloud/edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) have been leveraged as the supporting computation infrastructure, making the big data technology a recent disruptive revolution in the IT industry. The enormous commercial benefits, scientific advances, management efficiency, and analytical accuracy brought by big data have been recognized and further developed for a wide range of applications including complex systems.


Due to the complexity of a complex system, the engaged agents and the data they work on are often geographically distributed across a suite of computation resources. Traditionally, this is supported by cloud computing where an enormous server farm with thousands of computing servers are used to provide computation capability. Although the cloud service providers have placed multiple cloud centers across the whole world, the data transmission delay between the data sources and the cloud centers is still problematic for many complex systems where responses are usually required to be time-critical or real-time. Instead, a recently emerging computation paradigm, edge computing, is promising to cater to these requirements, as edge computing resources are deployed data sources that support time-critical or real-time data processing and analysis. Together with cloud computing as the computation backend, edge computing has been adopted in complex systems. However, it is still a challenge to conduct big data management and analytics in complex systems that are supported by artificial intelligent, given the complexity of complex systems and the unique features of artificial intelligent techniques.


The collaborative methodology has been gradually recognized as an effective way to handle the complexity in a complex system. For instance, computational intelligence-based approaches enable agents in a complex system to learn a particular task of the system from big data to further facilitate complicated problem-solving, and these play an increasing important role in complex systems. Given that these approaches are usually not inherently designed for big volumes of data, it is quite interesting to investigate research problems such as how they handle big data for complex systems and design more scalable computational intelligence methods accordingly. Also, many emerging collaborative data analysis paradigms such as federated learning from distributed data have been put forth for real applications.


Therefore, the special issue is dedicated to addressing the existing and emerging problems in the theories and practices of collaborative innovation for big data management and analytics in complex systems with advanced computing infrastructure which highly demands great research efforts from researchers and practitioners. This Special Issue intends to provide a timely chance to researchers, experts, engineers, and practitioners, who have been engaging in the recent advances of big data analytics and artificial intelligence techniques in complex systems, to publish their latest findings and inspire new solutions. The contributors are encouraged to share with the public their experimental data, making the Special Issue more practical and meaningful. All submissions will be reviewed strictly for originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.

    Multi-Level Knowledge Engineering Approach for Mapping Implicit Aspects to Explicit Aspects

    Jibran Mir, Azhar Mahmood, Shaheen Khatoon
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 3491-3509, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.019952

    Abstract Aspect's extraction is a critical task in aspect-based sentiment analysis, including explicit and implicit aspects identification. While extensive research has identified explicit aspects, little effort has been put forward on implicit aspects extraction due to the complexity of the problem. Moreover, existing research on implicit aspect identification is widely carried out on product reviews targeting specific aspects while neglecting sentences’ dependency problems. Therefore, in this paper, a multi-level knowledge engineering approach for identifying implicit movie aspects is proposed. The proposed method first identifies explicit aspects using a variant of BiLSTM and CRF (Bidirectional Long Short… More >

    Utilization of Machine Learning Methods in Modeling Specific Heat Capacity of Nanofluids

    Mamdouh El Haj Assad, Ibrahim Mahariq, Raymond Ghandour, Mohammad Alhuyi Nazari, Thabet Abdeljawad
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.1, pp. 361-374, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.019048
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Complex Systems)
    Abstract Nanofluids are extensively applied in various heat transfer mediums for improving their heat transfer characteristics and hence their performance. Specific heat capacity of nanofluids, as one of the thermophysical properties, performs principal role in heat transfer of thermal mediums utilizing nanofluids. In this regard, different studies have been carried out to investigate the influential factors on nanofluids specific heat. Moreover, several regression models based on correlations or artificial intelligence have been developed for forecasting this property of nanofluids. In the current review paper, influential parameters on the specific heat capacity of nanofluids are introduced. Afterwards, More >

    Abstract CO2 emission is considerably dependent on energy consumption and on share of energy sources as well as on the extent of economic activities. Consequently, these factors must be considered for CO2 emission prediction for seven middle eastern countries including Iran, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Qatar. In order to propose a predictive model, a Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (MLP ANN) is applied. Three transfer functions including logsig, tansig and radial basis functions are utilized in the hidden layer of the network. Moreover, various numbers of neurons are applied in the structure… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.2, pp. 1687-1707, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.017870
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Complex Systems)
    Abstract Community detection in social networks is a hard problem because of the size, and the need of a deep understanding of network structure and functions. While several methods with significant effort in this direction have been devised, an outstanding open problem is the unknown number of communities, it is generally believed that the role of influential nodes that are surrounded by neighbors is very important. In addition, the similarity among nodes inside the same cluster is greater than among nodes from other clusters. Lately, the global and local methods of community detection have been getting… More >
