Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence: From Theories to Applications

Computational intelligence-based applications are occupying an always larger space in our normal lives due to their computational capabilities and outstanding results. These applications have been exploited in very different environments: from autonomous driving to medical solutions, from financing to cybersecurity, also including space applications and home appliances. However, there is a lack of a holistic analysis and comprehension of the reliability issues that may affect computational intelligence applications. For example, in most cases, it is necessary to start defining the used fault models to present a failure analysis from the software or hardware points of view. On the other side, the metrics to correctly assess the reliability of computational intelligence applications are not well defined. The research community is still investigating the most appropriate mitigation strategies to improve application reliability.

Authors and research groups exploring solutions to the mentioned issues are very welcome to send their original contributions to the proposed Special Issue.

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 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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
