Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite submissions to a Special Issue titled “Ensemble Learning-Driven Models for Managerial System Modelling and Applications” in Systems. The developments of ensemble learning in system modeling and applications are crucial due to the growing complexity and uncertainty in modern management systems. Traditional single models often struggle to address these challenges effectively, leading to suboptimal predictions and decisions. Ensemble learning combines multiple models to leverage their respective strengths, and offers a powerful solution by improving predictive accuracy, robustness, and adaptability. By integrating diverse models, ensemble learning reduces biases and variances inherent in single models, providing more reliable and precise results.

Furthermore, ensemble learning’s broad applicability across diverse and complex systems, ranging from engineering and economics to social and ecological systems, fosters interdisciplinary innovation and collaboration. By advancing research in ensemble learning for system modeling, we can address the pressing demands of modern management challenges, providing both academic insights and practical solutions that enhance the effectiveness and reliability of decision-making processes.

The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the latest developments and applications of ensemble learning techniques in the context of managerial systems. This Special Issue seeks high-quality papers that address both theoretical and practical aspects of ensemble learning in managerial systems. We welcome original research articles on topics including, but not limited to the following:

  • Methods for combining ensemble learning techniques to optimize renewable energy sources management.
  • Techniques for enhancing load forecasting accuracy in smart grids through ensemble learning approaches.
  • Innovations in ensemble learning algorithms tailored for managerial applications.
  • Ensemble methods for decision making in supply chain management.
  • Forecasting and optimization using ensemble models in financial management systems.
  • Application of ensemble learning in decision support systems.
  • Risk management and fraud detection in corporate environments using ensemble techniques.
  • Applications of ensemble learning in business intelligence systems.
  • Integration of ensemble learning with business intelligence and analytics platforms.
  • Exploration of ensemble learning methods in intelligent production management.

Amidst the rapid digital transformation reshaping the legal profession globally, this study examines the interplay between AI tools, social media usage, and lawyer job performance in China. While prior research has extensively explored factors influencing the job performance of lawyers, due to the relatively small number of lawyers in China and the legal and ethical limitations in their use of social media and AI tools, systematic investigations into the roles of AI and social media in this context remain limited. We use an ensemble Bayesian network model to examine causal mechanisms, analyzing 313 questionnaires on their use of AI and social media. This study constructs a robust causal network to analyze the impacts of nine key variables, including excessive social use of social media at work, AI-supported employee training and development, AI-driven workload reduction for employees, and strain, among others. The findings reveal that AI-driven workload reduction, AI-supported leadership, and strain directly influence lawyer job performance. Notably, excessive cognitive use of social media at work (ECU) exerts the most significant impact, while strain and work–technology conflict serve as critical mediators in the relationship between ECU and performance. The ensemble Bayesian network framework not only enhances the methodological rigor of this research but also facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the complex interdependencies among the considered factors. Based on the results, practical recommendations are proposed for the optimization of the job performance of lawyers. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on lawyer job performance through the introduction of an advanced analytical approach, as well as offering actionable insights for law firms and informing legal technology legislation and policy development navigating the digital era.
