Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems LII (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 13470)

The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing (e.g., computing resources, services, metadata, data sources) across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability.

This, the 52^nd issue of Transactions on Large-scale Data and Knowledge-centered Systems, contains six fully revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include management of decryption keys, delegations as a rights management system, data analytics in connected environments, knowledge graph augmentation, online optimized product quantization for All-Nearest-Neighbours queries, generalization of argument models and transactional modelling using coverage pattern mining.
