Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We have recently entered a new age of data that presents a series of novel challenges to humans and social civilization. This Special Issue will bring together researchers and professionals from a diverse range of disciplines to promote cross-disciplinary research and collaboration on data-related issues and provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge cross-disciplinary research findings and technological advancements in the fields of information technology, data science, and optimization. By fostering collaboration and facilitating research and networking opportunities across relevant disciplines, this conference seeks to drive innovation in these areas.

As such, we invite submissions of original unpublished research articles and reviews (including extended conference papers) for presenting and discussing new research findings and recent technical advances. Our topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Big data;
  • Computer graphics and visual analytics;
  • Health care and informatics;
  • Data-based systems and interfaces;
  • Data science;
  • Optimization

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. Electronics 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.

Synthetic data are increasingly being recognized for their potential to address serious real-world challenges in various domains. They provide innovative solutions to combat the data scarcity, privacy concerns, and algorithmic biases commonly used in machine learning applications. Synthetic data preserve all underlying patterns and behaviors of the original dataset while altering the actual content. The methods proposed in the literature to generate synthetic data vary from large language models (LLMs), which are pre-trained on gigantic datasets, to generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs). This study provides a systematic review of the various techniques proposed in the literature that can be used to generate synthetic data to identify their limitations and suggest potential future research areas. The findings indicate that while these technologies generate synthetic data of specific data types, they still have some drawbacks, such as computational requirements, training stability, and privacy-preserving measures which limit their real-world usability. Addressing these issues will facilitate the broader adoption of synthetic data generation techniques across various disciplines, thereby advancing machine learning and data-driven solutions.
