The Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence

Dear Colleagues,

The 21st Annual Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI2022) was hosted by Sheffield University during September 7th– 9th, 2022. The UKCI workshop series is a premier European event for the presentation of leading research and development in all areas of computational intelligence (CI). The aim of UKCI2022 was to provide a forum for the academic community and the industry at large to share experiences of advancing and applying computational intelligence techniques, to discuss new trends, and also to exchange views and ideas. UKCI2022 was oranised with the support of the workshop’s organising and programme committees, a network of reviewers and volunteers, and crucially the contribution of authors and keynote speakers.

As a research field, CI attracts great interest from scientists, engineers and practitioners working primarily in the areas of neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computation. This Special Issue offers an opportunity to showcase the contributions of UKCI2022. The 21 authors of the top-ranked papers, based on the review reports returned by the international program committee and reviewers, are invited to submit substantially extended versions to be considered for publication in this Special Issue of Mathematics. It is dedicated to recent advances in computational intelligence algorithms and applications. The submissions are expected to jointly reflect both the most recent advances in computational intelligence and their applications as they progress from the initial scientific contributions, as well as any relevant trends. We hope that this Special Issue will bring a great selection of research contributions to readers, marking progress and promoting scientific excellence in computational intelligence and its applications. 

Best wishes, 

Dr. Changjing Shang

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
