This volume LNCS 12925 constitutes the papers of the 23rd International Conference on Big Data Analytics and Knowledge Discovery, held in September 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic it was held virtually. The 12 full papers presented together with 15 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 71 submissions. The papers reflect a wide range of topics in the field of data integration, data warehousing, data analytics, and recently big data analytics, in a broad sense. The main objectives of this event are to explore, disseminate, and exchange knowledge in these fields.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Big Data Analytics and Knowledge Discovery, DaWaK 2017, held in Lyon, France, in August 2017. The 24 revised full papers and 11 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 97 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: new generation data warehouses design; cloud and NoSQL databases; advanced programming paradigms; non-functional requirements satisfaction; machine learning; social media and twitter analysis; sentiment analysis and user influence; knowledge discovery; and data flow management and optimization.

Society is now completely driven by data with many industries relying on data to conduct business or basic functions within the organization. With the efficiencies that big data bring to all institutions, data is continuously being collected and analyzed. However, data sets may be too complex for traditional data-processing, and therefore, different strategies must evolve to solve the issue. The field of big data works as a valuable tool for many different industries. The Research Anthology on Big Data Analytics, Architectures, and Applications is a complete reference source on big data analytics that offers the latest, innovative architectures and frameworks and explores a variety of applications within various industries. Offering an international perspective, the applications discussed within this anthology feature global representation. Covering topics such as advertising curricula, driven supply chain, and smart cities, this research anthology is ideal for data scientists, data analysts, computer engineers, software engineers, technologists, government officials, managers, CEOs, professors, graduate students, researchers, and academicians.

This open access book is part of the LAMBDA Project (Learning, Applying, Multiplying Big Data Analytics), funded by the European Union, GA No. 809965. Data Analytics involves applying algorithmic processes to derive insights. Nowadays it is used in many industries to allow organizations and companies to make better decisions as well as to verify or disprove existing theories or models. The term data analytics is often used interchangeably with intelligence, statistics, reasoning, data mining, knowledge discovery, and others. The goal of this book is to introduce some of the definitions, methods, tools, frameworks, and solutions for big data processing, starting from the process of information extraction and knowledge representation, via knowledge processing and analytics to visualization, sense-making, and practical applications. Each chapter in this book addresses some pertinent aspect of the data processing chain, with a specific focus on understanding Enterprise Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Big Data Architectures, and Smart Data Analytics solutions. This book is addressed to graduate students from technical disciplines, to professional audiences following continuous education short courses, and to researchers from diverse areas following self-study courses. Basic skills in computer science, mathematics, and statistics are required.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Big Data Analytics and Knowledge Discovery, DaWaK 2019, held in Linz, Austria, in September 2019. The 12 full papers and 10 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Applications; patterns; RDF and streams; big data systems; graphs and machine learning; databases.

The volume LNCS 12393 constitutes the papers of the 22nd International Conference Big Data Analytics and Knowledge Discovery which will be held online in September 2020.
