Guest Editorial Everyday Applications Of Neural Networks

NEURAL-NETWORK technology has reached a degree of maturity as evidenced by an ever-increasing number of applications. Our experience, however, is that most practitioners of neural networks are familiar with only a handful of cases where neural-network technology has been reduced to practice. The objective of this special issue is presentation of some specific cases of ongoing everyday use of ne...

Guest Editorial: Urban Computing

URBAN computing is a process of acquisition, integration, and analysis of big and heterogeneous data generated by a diversity of sources in urban spaces, such as sensors, devices, vehicles, buildings, and human, to tackle the major issues that cities face, e.g., air pollution, increased energy consumption and traffic congestion. Urban computing connects unobtrusive and ubiquitous sensing techno...
