Advanced Technologies and Applications in Computer Science and Engineering: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Computer science is one of the fastest-growing branches of engineering. This is due both to the increased capabilities and accessibility of the hardware, and to the successful implementation of modern information and communication technologies. Achievements in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud technologies, modeling, and computational mathematics are notable. In this respect, there is no other field of science that contributes so directly to improving the quality of life of modern society. Intelligent medicine, virtual and augmented reality, smart networks and cities, autonomous cars, digital factories and production, and many other achievements of modern civilization are the product of progress in the field of computer science.

The 2024 12th International Scientific Conference COMPUTER SCIENCE (COMSCI 2024) organized by the Faculty of Computer Systems and Technologies continues the tradition of a series of eleven conferences organized between 2004 and 2023 as a scientific forum to present a discussion of innovative ideas, concepts, and technologies in the field of computer science, computer and software engineering, information technology, and their application. Participation in the conference by researchers from different countries stimulates the building of a scientific community and encourages interaction and international cooperation.

This Special Issue primarily represents a collection of extended versions of selected papers presented at the 2024 12th International Scientific Conference COMPUTER SCIENCE (COMSCI 2024). However, papers not presented at the COMSCI 2024 are also welcome. We invite you to contribute original research articles or comprehensive review papers to this Special Issue. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Artificial intelligence, robotics, and control;
• Cyber security and cyber protection;
• Data structures and storage;
• Cloud and blockchain technologies;
• Electric and autonomous vehicles;
• High technology management;
• Human-centered computing;
• Renewable and green energy;
• Smart cities and smart society;
• Software engineering;
• Software technologies and applications systems;
• Telecommunications engineering.
