Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We live in a highly data-driven digital-first era. The creation of high volumes of data leads to the formation of large repositories, which necessitate the development of novel techniques to analyze, process and structure these data. The term "data management" pertains to the processes and procedures employed in handling data and involves creating, implementing, and overseeing plans, policies, programs, and practices that ensure the proper delivery, control, protection, and enhancement of the value of data and information assets over their entire lifespan.

New trends in cloudification, microservices, open data, or software as a service (SaaS) approaches, among others, have a significant impact on data management. In parallel, new approaches to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) require the management of increasingly large amounts of datasets (e.g., Large Language Models, LLMs) and synthetic data (i.e., artificially generated data).

The main objective of this Special Issue is to bring together novel and impactful research on data management and the adoption of these techniques for practical applications. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Data governance;
  • Data storage and operations;
  • Data integration and interoperability;
  • Data confidentiality;
  • Data security and protection;
  • Data architecture and infrastructure;
  • Synthetic data ;
  • Open data.

Speed reducers (SR) and electric motors are crucial in modern manufacturing, especially within adhesive coating equipment. The electric motor mainly transforms electrical power into mechanical force to propel most machinery. Conversely, speed reducers are vital elements that control the speed and torque of rotating machinery, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. Interestingly, variations in chamber temperatures of adhesive coating machines and the use of specific adhesives can lead to defects in chains and jigs, causing possible breakdowns in the speed reducer and its surrounding components. This study introduces novel deep-learning autoencoder models to enhance production efficiency by presenting a comparative assessment for anomaly detection that would enable precise and predictive insights by modeling complex temporal relationships in the vibration data. The data acquisition framework facilitated adherence to data governance principles by maintaining data quality and consistency, data storage and processing operations, and aligning with data management standards. The study here would capture the attention of practitioners involved in data-centric processes, industrial engineering, and advanced manufacturing techniques. Full article

The digital transformation of critical infrastructures, such as energy or water distribution systems, is essential for their smart management. Faster issue identification and smoother services enable better adaptation to consumers’ evolving demands. However, these large-scale infrastructures are often outdated. Their digital transformation is crucial to enable them to support societies. This process must be carefully planned, providing guidance that ensures that the data they rely on are dependable and that the system remains fully operational during the transition. This paper presents a formal model that supports reliable data acquisition in legacy critical infrastructures, facilitating their evolution towards a data-driven smart system. Our model provides the foundation for a flexible transformation process while generating dependable data for system management. We demonstrate the model’s applicability in a use case within the water distribution domain and discuss its benefits. Full article
