Preface In the age of Big Data and Internet of Things the integration of traditional and contemporary intelligent computing techniques continues to play an increasingly vital role in data analysis, real-time control and operation, decision making, and system evaluation and forecasting. Many computational intelligence methods and techniques, such as fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, were initially proposed to deal with a certain type of datasets, whose success then led to the generalization of
more » ... many algorithms that can deal with common types of datasets. With the rapid advancement in pervasive computing and integration with big datasets, such digital datasets in different formats have been exponentially collected from different organisations and projects. People and organisations often need to deal with these heterogeneous datasets nowadays; hence expect integrated data-centric computing algorithms and/or systems to meet the needs of their business activities. Therefore, integrated data-centric intelligent computing and systems are finding increasingly more applications from community-based business transactions to intelligent transport systems. This themed special issue is to facilitate the exchange and dissemination of novel algorithms, system design and development, and advanced applications in integrated data-centric intelligent computing and system development in all disciplines. This special issue focuses on applications of intelligent computing approaches to solve increasingly complex problems. By filtering solicited abstracts, we received 24 full paper submissions and 18 of them entered review process. Every paper was evaluated by 2-3 external experts in its relevant field, and was requested to revise deeply. After two rounds of vigorous peer review process for each submission, the guest editors and editors-in-chief are pleased to accept 5 papers, which technical quality and relevance of scope are satisfactory to the journal.
