In the current era of digital and social data, the world became more connected, networked, and traceable, with the consequent exponentially growth of data creation, sharing, and storing. In particular, data changed from static, complete, and centralized to dynamic, incomplete, and distributed; furthermore, data rapidly increased its scope and size, with the continuous increase of volumes, varieties, and velocities. All these aspects led to new challenges undertaken by the field of Big Data Analysis. Consequently, there is the need for novel computational techniques and tools able to assist humans in extracting useful information (knowledge) from the huge volumes of data. Knowledge Discovery is an interdisciplinary area focusing upon methodologies for identifying valid, novel, potentially useful and meaningful patterns from such data, and is currently widespread in numerous fields, including science, engineering, healthcare, business, and medicine. A major aspect of Knowledge Discovery is to extract valuable knowledge and information from data. Typical tasks are aimed at gathering only relevant information from digital data (e.g., text documents, multimedia files, or webpages), by searching for information within documents and for metadata about documents, as well as searching relational databases and the Web. Recently, the rapid growth of social networks and online services entailed that Knowledge Discovery approaches focused on the World Wide Web (WWW), whose popular use as global information system led to a huge amount of digital data. Typically, a webpage has unstructured or semi-structured textual content, leading to present to users both relevant and irrelevant information. Hence, there is the need of novel techniques and systems able to easily extract information and knowledge from the huge web data.
KDWeb 2018 is focused on the field of Knowledge Discovery from digital data, with particular attention for Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Information Retrieval methods, systems, and applications. KDWeb 2018 is aimed at providing a venue to researchers, scientists, students, and practitioners involved in the fields of Knowledge Discovery on Data Mining, Information Retrieval, and Semantic Web, for presenting and discussing novel and emerging ideas. KDWeb 2018 will contribute to discuss and compare suitable novel solutions based on intelligent techniques and applied in realworld applications. The workshop is hosted by the 18th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2018).

Special Issue on User Feedback and Software Quality in the Mobile Domain
The global adoption of mobile devices has increased dramatically over the last few years and mobile devices have become part of our everyday lives. As a consequence, we can observe a continuing growth in the development of millions of software applications that run on mobile devices, commonly referred as "apps" [1]. The high diffusion of mobile apps has encouraged software engineering researchers to support developers overcoming the challenges they are facing in this new competitive development market. Indeed, this huge and important economic market represents a rich opportunity for researchers interested in (i) investigating and understanding the specific issues of mobile app development, and (ii) building novel methods and tools to help developers during the different phases of an app’s lifecycle.
This special issue focuses on research challenges and opportunities related to (i) requirements engineering approaches in the mobile domain (e.g., security and privacy requirements in mobile apps); (ii) development and maintenance strategies to ensure high software quality and overall users satisfaction; (iii) monetization strategies and other success related aspects of mobile app development. A particular, overarching focus is the design and implementation of strategies for user feedback analysis and user involvement (mechanisms for users engagement and fidelization) in the mobile context. In is important to specify that, the main focus of proposed approaches, techniques and empirical studies should have a specific focus on improving software development, thus, have a clear and direct impact on on the efficiency of the overall development process.

Information Fusion
Call for papers for a special issue on “Data Fusion in Heterogeneous Networks”
The Information Fusion Journal is planning a special issue on advanced academic and industrial research that explicitly demonstrates the role ofData Fusion in Heterogeneous Networks.
A heterogeneous network is a network composed of multiple types of objects and links based on different networking infrastructures. It involves the Internet, Internet of Things, mobile cellular networks, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), Vehicular Networks (VENET), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and others. It also includes their up-layer application networks such as social networks, crowdsourcing, Human-Machine Networks, which are gigantic and interconnected. The heterogeneous network holds such characteristics as networking pervasiveness, structure heterogeneity, data diversification and high complexity. Huge volumes of data are generated in the heterogeneous networks. Similar examples are present everywhere, ranging from social media to scientific, engineering or medical systems, and to online e-commerce systems. The data types can be unstructured text documents, multi-lingual data, networking statistics, and online multi-modal data such as images, text, and audios.
The heterogeneous networks are not only ubiquitous but also form a critical component of modern information infrastructure for knowledge retrieval and knowledge discovery. In such a networking environment, data fusion is definitely indispensable and plays a significance role. It provides a main vehicle to information fusion due to the pervasiveness of networking and various modes of information as well as data transmitted. However, the particular characteristics of heterogeneous networks introduce new challenges on data fusion. Heterogeneous data fusion, incentive for data collection, judgement on data veracity, and data trust management are hard to be overcome by existing solutions in the context of heterogeneous networks. Hence, suitable techniques are badly needed to manage and refine data fusion in the heterogeneous networks.
This special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss various aspects of data fusion in heterogeneous networks, explore key technologies, proposed and investigate technology enablers and innovate new solutions for overcoming major challenges in this research area.
Topics central to this special issue include (but are not necessarily limited to):
- Machine learning, data mining and fusion for heterogeneous networks
- Novel datasets and benchmarks for heterogeneous big data analytics
- Information network learning and generation
- New models of heterogeneous network fusion
- Multimodal data fusion via machine learning methods
- Graph (Network) embedding in heterogeneous networks
- Data fusion in next generation communication networks
- Data fusion trust in large scale heterogeneous networks
- Security related data fusion and mining in heterogeneous networks

Resilience is fundamentally defined as either “resuming the original shape or position after being bent, compressed, or stretched” or “rising readily again after being depressed”. In a more formal definition, resilience is the persistence of performability when facing changes; a resilient system must survive at some capacity, in order to autonomously recover. On the other hand, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are composed by integrating and networking physical and computational components which work in dynamic environments experiencing many variabilities, which should be recovered autonomously from possible changes because of almost inaccessibility to repairman. Example applications are smart grids, autonomous driving systems, healthcare systems, robotics systems, and situational awareness real-time systems. Deeply intertwined physical and software components of different spatial and temporal scales in CPSs, exhibiting multiple and distinct behavioral modalities, and interacting with each other in a myriad of ways that change with the context make the analysis and design of such systems more complex. CPSs are also prone to cyber-attacks that can have severe consequences, needing resilience. Thus, the incorporation of resiliency to the design of CPSs is a must to make them dependable. In this special section, we welcome original submissions in all theoretical and application-oriented areas, reporting analysis and design for resilience in CPSs. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
- Interpretation of resilience in CPSs
- Design techniques to achieve resilience in CPSs
- Secure and Fault-Tolerant CPSs
- Modeling resilience of CPSs
- Analyze and measurement of resiliency of CPSs
- Fault models for CPSs
- The interplay between resilience and other design objectives in CPSs
- Testing and validation techniques for resilient CPSs
- Resilient control in CPSs
- Real-time scheduling techniques for resilient CPSs
