This special issue will address innovative approaches in the general area of business intelligence and data mining as well as specific approaches dealing with the topic big data and web data mining in the travel and tourism domain. With the advent of new technologies like Internet of Things, communication technologies, and wide variety of social media applications, organisations produce huge volumes of data in unified formats. Analysing such data and gaining decision-relevant knowledge is indispensable for any kind of stakeholder such as governments, organisations, and communities. Thus, applying techniques from business intelligence and data mining to extract relevant knowledge from available data sources constitutes an important vein of research in the field of big data and business intelligence. Big data analytics that discover insights from evidence has a high demand for computing efficiency, knowledge discovery, problem solving, and event prescription. It also poses great challenges in terms of data, process, analytical modelling and management for organisations to turn big data into big insight. Recently, the term big data has been coined, which is characterised with high volume, variety and velocity, increasingly drives decision making and is changing the landscape of business intelligence. Due to the crucial role and importance of social media and online product reviews, the above trends become vital for various stakeholders to ensure competitiveness and, thus, already gained high research attention.
Innovative approaches and state-of-the-art research findings on the latest development, up-to-date issues, and challenges in the field in the general area of business intelligence and data mining as well as specific approaches, dealing with the topic big data and web data mining will be addressed. Proposed submissions should be original, unpublished, and novel in-depth research that makes significant methodological or application contributions.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended
versions of selected papers presented at The 2nd EAI International Conference on Future
Intelligent Vehicular Technologies (Future5V) and
The 16th IEEE International Conference On Trust, Security And Privacy In
Computing And Communications (Trustcom),
