LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability. Current decentralized systems still focus on data and knowledge as their main resource. Feasibility of these systems relies basically on P2P (peer-to-peer) techniques and the support of agent systems with scaling and decentralized control. Synergy between grids, P2P systems, and agent technologies is the key to data- and knowledge-centered systems in large-scale environments. This volume, the35th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains five fully-revised selected regular papers focusing on data quality, social-data artifacts, data privacy, predictive models, and e-health. Specifically, the five papers present and discuss a data-quality framework for the Estonian public sector; a data-driven approach to bridging the gap between the business and social worlds; privacy-preserving querying on privately encrypted data in the cloud; algorithms for the prediction of norovirus concentration in drinking water; and cloud computing in healthcare organizations in Saudi Arabia.
