Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Dear Colleagues,

Modern life is immersed in a highly interconnected technological world. Many of the applications designed for this digital ecosystem make use of sophisticated artificial intelligence techniques to solve all kinds of problems, from optimized searching engines to advanced facial recognition features on the web, from shape recognition algorithms for image processing to pattern recognition methods for social networks and economic studies, and from complex behavioral engines for synthetic characters in computer movies and video games to advanced routines for robotics, unmanned autonomous vehicles, natural language processing, business intelligence, etc. Artificial intelligence is poised to change the world in the coming decades, from the way we do business, to domestic applications at home. It has been anticipated that AI’s contribution to the global economy will exceed that of China and India combined. It is also believed that within the next 10 years, almost any successful industry or company will use some kind of AI to ensure their business runs smoothly and efficiently.

This Special Issue aims to disseminate the most recent research results and developments in artificial intelligence, with a special focus on their practical applications to science, engineering, industry, medicine, robotics, manufacturing, entertainment, optimization, business, and other fields. We kindly invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their high-quality original research or review articles on these topics to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
