Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning resulted in dramatic improvements for systems engineering management, systems-based project planning in urban settings, health systems, environmental management and complex social systems. With recent advancements in health informatics, the health systems data have grown exponentially, and the nature of such big data is increasingly complex. There are many advantages to be gained with the application in healthcare of advances in machine learning and big data; however, there are many challenges in providing systems accurate enough to be useful to clinicians and patients. Not only are large amounts of data available, but sensitivity and specificity must be paid special attention, as well as ensuring support systems fit rationally into the health system. Recently, machine learning has been applied for effectively predicting the disease spread trends from public health data. Intelligent assisted computational models of user information preferences and interaction behaviors in health systems may also be designed. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather new advances in the use of artificial intelligence in health systems. We welcome both original research and review articles.

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. Systems 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 2400 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.
