Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At the current stage of development and implementation of information technology in various areas of human activity, decisive changes are taking place, as there are powerful technical resources for the accumulation and processing of large amounts of information. However, the application of known methods and tools to process such arrays of information does not meet the expectations of developers, and leads to the overuse of resources, the loss of significant information and conflicts between customer expectations and the results. At the same time, such areas of intellectualization of information and data processing as machine learning, cognitive computing, big data, deep learning, semantic WEB and others are in active development, which allow solving new classes of problems based on available information resources. All of the above are prerequisites for the transition to a new quality level of information processing, and, accordingly, for the creation and implementation of a new generation of information technologies. However, the specifics and features of the subject areas for which information technology is developed significantly affect the content and methods of information processing, so the expectation of universal approaches to creating effective information technology for different industries today is premature. The approach based on research of characteristics and features of subject branches and the development of new information technologies for concrete branches remains justified. Currently, all areas of human activity are related to computer systems and software, so the current problems in the use of computer systems and software are currently reliable protection of information from cyber threats and malware and quality assurance of software and computer systems. The need for quality and safety is based on the fact that errors and failures in software and computer systems and the impact of malware threaten disasters that lead to human casualties, environmental cataclysms, significant time losses and financial damage, or at least reputational damage to the company. Therefore, special attention in the direction of the development and implementation of effective information technologies is currently needed in the field of quality and security of software and computer systems. Achieving high-quality software and computer systems, as well as cybersecurity, is a key factor in their effective use and one of the main needs of customers. This Special Issue aims to disseminate and discuss artificial intelligence-based information technologies that support sophisticated solutions to improve and ensure the quality and security of software and computer systems. We will only consider knowledge-intensive solutions that outline existing quality and safety issues and offer reliable and accurate solutions.
