Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fractional-order intelligent information processing refers to many fields of science and engineering that incorporate fractional calculus concepts into their modeling and design. Fractional calculus is a generalization of the classical integer-order differentiation and integration theory. The theory and application of fractional calculus show that the fractional calculus operator is the best description for many complex natural or social phenomena. The fractional order can provide additional freedom of design for various applications. Due to its many unique characteristics, fractional calculus is being widely explored across many fields, such as signal and image processing, machine learning, computing law, neuromorphic computing, etc.
This Special Issue aims to further advance research on topics relating to fractional calculus in signal and image processing and machine learning. Topics for submission include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fractional-order signal processing;
- Fractional-order image processing;
- Fractional-order machine learning;
- Fractional-order computing law;
- Fractional-order neuromorphic computing.

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. Fractal and Fractional is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
