Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the complex challenge of designing intelligent systems in the Big Data era, an adequate representation of knowledge, sometimes considering uncertainty and incompleteness, and an easy-to-understand approach to automated reasoning are required. These are notable aspects of formal representation systems, suitable for making decisions through software agents trained in solving real problems of different natures such as explainability and interpretability of results, hybrid KR&R-Machine Learning, query answering, cybersecurity, the semantic web, and multi-agent systems. The growing demand for the explainability of AI systems operating in the aforementioned domains is also confirmed by the increasing demand that humans can clearly understand the decisions provided by these systems.
The overall aim of this Special Issue is to collect state-of-the-art research findings on the latest developments, up-to-date issues, and challenges in the field of knowledge representation formalisms in support of AI domains. Proposed submissions should make significant methodological or application contributions. This Special Issue should be of interest to the AI community.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Big Data and Cognitive Computing is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
