Computational and Mathematical Methods in Information Science and Engineering, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In this booming information age, massive amounts of complicated and diverse data resources are being produced over time. Information science and engineering is one of the most attractive research fields due to the need to collect, store, analyze, and visualize these complicated and diverse data to address the challenges of human beings to date. In this area, computational and mathematical methods provide effective tools to handle data and information for pattern recognition, knowledge discovery and utilization, and decision-making for complex problems.

This Special Issue is a follow-up on the first edition, titled "Computational and Mathematical Methods in Information Science and Engineering”, with focuses on recent advances in computational and mathematical methods in information science and engineering to address problems that occur in practice, including theory and potential applications. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Computational intelligence theory and applications;
2. Intelligent modeling, control, and optimization;
3. Complex network modeling;
4. Heterogeneous data mining and fusion;
5. Big data analytics and artificial intelligence;
6. Knowledge discovery, inference, and optimization;
7. Complicated high-dimensional data representation and visualization;
8. Classification and clustering models in applications;
9. Heuristic intelligence optimization methods;
10. Deep learning methods;
11. Applied mathematics in open-source software analysis;
12. Modeling and analysis in E-commerce;
13. Information systems;
14. Intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0;
15. Intelligent transportation systems and logistics;
16. Recommendation systems;
17. Knowledge management processes and systems;
18. Intelligent tourism and intelligent education.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
