“…The authors have proposed the model of big smart city data management and evaluated the technological architecture and challenges. A few generic reviews or the discussion of big data in smart cities can be found in [72][73][74][75], while the role of sustainability in smart cities is exploited in [76,77].…”

Climate science as a data-intensive subject has overwhelmingly affected by the era of big data and relevant technological revolutions. The big successes of big data analytics in diverse areas over the past decade have also prompted the expectation of big data and its efficacy on the big problem—climate change. As an emerging topic, climate change has been at the forefront of the big climate data analytics implementations and exhaustive research have been carried out covering a variety of topics. This paper aims to present an outlook of big data in climate change studies over the recent years by investigating and summarising the current status of big data applications in climate change related studies. It is also expected to serve as a one-stop reference directory for researchers and stakeholders with an overview of this trending subject at a glance, which can be useful in guiding future research and improvements in the exploitation of big climate data.

“…For example, the strategic assessment and evaluation of the effects of information and communications technology (ICT) require competent governance models, as well as the adoption of well-balanced top-down and bottom-down approaches. These obstacles are also discussed by Kudva and Ye [38] where several obstacles including socioeconomic inequalities and the digital divide hinder cities becoming smart and sustainable. The findings of these also tend to agree with several other studies [39][40][41] showing the country or region-specific obstacles for implementing various smart technologies, strategies, and initiatives to make their cities more sustainable.…”

Environmental externalities of the Anthropocene—mainly generated from population growth, rapid urbanization, high private motor vehicle dependency, the deregulated market, mass livestock production, and excessive consumerism—have placed serious concerns for the future of natural ecosystems, which we are a part of. For instance, global climate change—the biggest challenge we have ever faced—is directly impacting wellbeing, and even the existence of humankind, in the long run. During the last two decades, the notion of the smart city—particularly the sustainable development of smart cities—has become a popular topic not only for scholars, particularly in the fields of technology, science, urban and environmental planning, development, and management, but also for urban policymakers and professional practitioners. This was due to digital technologies becoming a powerful enabler in stimulating paradigmatic shifts in urban development-related visions, strategies, implementation, and learning. This paper offers a critical review of the key literature on the issues relating to approaches, advances, and applications in the sustainable development of smart cities. It also introduces contributions from the Special Issue, and speculates on the prospective research directions to place necessary mechanisms to secure a smart and sustainable urban future for all.

“…Others are, for example, Ward et al [15] and Gandomi et al [16] which assess existing (industry) definitions to find and describe common aspects between them. There is also research focused on definitions within a specific research area, such as: Kudva et al [17] for smart cities, Wolfert et al [18] for smart farming, and Hashem et al [19] for cloud computing. These studies are aimed at helping researchers identifying the intersections between the research area that they know and BD.…”

In this study, we attempt to assess the value of the term Big Data when used by researchers in their publications. For this purpose, we systematically collected a corpus of biomedical publications that use and do not use the term Big Data. These documents were used as input to a machine learning classifier to determine how well they can be separated into two groups and to determine the most distinguishing classification features. We generated 100 classifiers that could correctly distinguish between Big Data and non-Big Data documents with an area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.96. The differences between the two groups were characterized by terms specific to Big Data themes—such as `computational’, `mining’, and `challenges’—and also by terms that indicate the research field, such as `genomics’. The ROC curves when plotted for various time intervals showed no difference over time. We conclude that there is a detectable and stable difference between publications that use the term Big Data and those that do not. Furthermore, the use of the term Big Data within a publication seems to indicate a distinct type of research in the biomedical field. Therefore, we conclude that value can be attributed to the term Big Data when used in a publication and this value has not changed over time.
