AI Algorithms for Positive Change in Digital Futures

Dear Colleagues,

Computer and Automation Engineering continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, playing a crucial role in shaping our digital future. Automation, driven by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), is transforming traditional industries by improving productivity, enhancing safety, reducing human error, and enabling more sophisticated data analysis. AI refers to the general ability of computers to emulate human thought and perform tasks in real-world environments, while ML refers to the technologies and algorithms that enable systems to identify patterns, make decisions, and improve themselves through experience and data. Developments in this area have led to innovations such as autonomous vehicles, smart homes, automated manufacturing systems, and medical robotics. We invite you to submit your latest research in design, development, application, and integration of intelligent systems driven by AI and ML approaches to this Special Issue entitled “AI Algorithms for Positive Change in Digital Futures”. We are looking for new and innovative approaches for solving real-world problems using novel AI and ML algorithms to implement positive change in society in computer and automation engineering. The global issues we face today are complex, and AI provides us with a valuable tool to augment human efforts to come up with hardware and software solutions to complex problems. High-quality papers are solicited to address both theoretical and practical issues in the use of AI and ML algorithms in computer and automation engineering. Submissions are welcome from both theoretical and applied computing domains. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, emerging applications in healthcare, disaster management, gamification, energy management, climate change, emergency management, smart homes, smart cities, and sustainability.

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. Algorithms 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 1600 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.
