The 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 (e.g. computing resources, services, metadata, data sources) 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.

This, the 58th issue of the Transactions on Large-scale Data and Knowledge-centered Systems, contains five fully revised selected regular papers. Topics covered include storing and querying evolving graphs in NoSQL storage models, the data assetization journey, deep learning rainfall nowcasts, fairness assessment, and energy and flexibility based on FlexOffers and Blockchain.
