Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection aims to collect high-quality review papers that highlight the most recent advances on the theory, design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms. We encourage researchers from related fields within the journal’s scope to contribute review papers highlighting the latest developments in their research fields. Reviews provide comprehensive in-depth overviews with no length restrictions, whereas topical reviews focus on a concise and precise “at-a-glance” summary of novel developments in the field. Moreover, the viewpoint of experts should guide the readers through the vast literature and indicate the right direction along which research should move in the near future.

In the ever-evolving landscape of tomographic imaging algorithms, this literature review explores a diverse array of themes shaping the field’s progress. It encompasses foundational principles, special innovative approaches, tomographic implementation algorithms, and applications of tomography in medicine, natural sciences, remote sensing, and seismology. This choice is to show off the diversity of tomographic applications and simultaneously the new trends in tomography in recent years. Accordingly, the evaluation of backprojection methods for breast tomographic reconstruction is highlighted. After that, multi-slice fusion takes center stage, promising real-time insights into dynamic processes and advanced diagnosis. Computational efficiency, especially in methods for accelerating tomographic reconstruction algorithms on commodity PC graphics hardware, is also presented. In geophysics, a deep learning-based approach to ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data inversion propels us into the future of geological and environmental sciences. We venture into Earth sciences with global seismic tomography: the inverse problem and beyond, understanding the Earth’s subsurface through advanced inverse problem solutions and pushing boundaries. Lastly, optical coherence tomography is reviewed in basic applications for revealing tiny biological tissue structures. This review presents the main categories of applications of tomography, providing a deep insight into the methods and algorithms that have been developed so far so that the reader who wants to deal with the subject is fully informed.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANETs) need methods to control traffic caused by a high volume of traffic during day and night, the interaction of vehicles, and pedestrians, vehicle collisions, increasing travel delays, and energy issues. Routing is one of the most critical problems in VANET. One of the machine learning categories is reinforcement learning (RL), which uses RL algorithms to find a more optimal path. According to the feedback they get from the environment, these methods can affect the system through learning from previous actions and reactions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of various methods such as reinforcement learning, deep reinforcement learning, and fuzzy learning in the traffic network, to obtain the best method for finding optimal routing in the VANET network. In fact, this paper deals with the advantages, disadvantages and performance of the methods introduced. Finally, we categorize the investigated methods and suggest the proper performance of each of them.

Algorithms have evolved from machine code to low-code-no-code (LCNC) in the past 20 years. Observing the growth of LCNC-based algorithm development, the CEO of GitHub mentioned that the future of coding is no coding at all. This paper systematically reviewed several of the recent studies using mainstream LCNC platforms to understand the area of research, the LCNC platforms used within these studies, and the features of LCNC used for solving individual research questions. We identified 23 research works using LCNC platforms, such as SetXRM, the vf-OS platform, Aure-BPM, CRISP-DM, and Microsoft Power Platform (MPP). About 61% of these existing studies resorted to MPP as their primary choice. The critical research problems solved by these research works were within the area of global news analysis, social media analysis, landslides, tornadoes, COVID-19, digitization of process, manufacturing, logistics, and software/app development. The main reasons identified for solving research problems with LCNC algorithms were as follows: (1) obtaining research data from multiple sources in complete automation; (2) generating artificial intelligence-driven insights without having to manually code them. In the course of describing this review, this paper also demonstrates a practical approach to implement a cyber-attack monitoring algorithm with the most popular LCNC platform.

Deep learning and additive manufacturing have progressed together in the previous couple of decades. Despite being one of the most promising technologies, they have several flaws that a collaborative effort may address. However, digital manufacturing has established itself in the current industrial revolution and it has slowed down quality control and inspection due to the different defects linked with it. Industry 4.0, the most recent industrial revolution, emphasizes the integration of intelligent production systems and current information technologies. As a result, deep learning has received a lot of attention and has been shown to be quite effective at understanding image data. This review aims to provide a cutting-edge deep learning application of the AM approach and application. This article also addresses the current issues of data privacy and security and potential solutions to provide a more significant dimension to future studies.
