Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of the journal Algorithms focused on recent research in computer science and intelligence systems. This Special Issue is associated with the “Track 3: Network Systems and Applications” of the 18th Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2023, https://fedcsis.org/) to be held in Warsaw, Poland, from 17–20 September 2023.

The FedCSIS conference serves as a premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to present state-of-the-art research, technologies, theories, and applications in the fields of computer science and information systems.

This Special Issue welcomes high-quality submissions addressing innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, and solutions in relevant topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Graph theory and network algorithm application
  • Algorithms for controlling and monitoring complex computer networks
  • Privacy-enhancing technologies
  • Protocols and algorithms for IoT
  • Artificial intelligence and IoT

We welcome the submission of original research papers and review articles that comprehensively summarize advances in these areas. Contributions are encouraged not only from FedCSIS 2023 attendees, but also from the broader research community.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The paper outlines a methodology for validating the accuracy of a control system’s runtime implementation. The runtime takes the form of a virtual machine executing portable code compliant with IEC 61131-3 standards. A formal model, comprising denotational semantics equations, has been devised to specify machine instruction decoding and operations, including arithmetic functions across various data types, arrays, and subprogram calls. The model also encompasses exception-handling mechanisms for runtime errors, such as division by zero and invalid array index access. This denotational model is translated into executable form using the functional F  language. Verification involves comparing the actual implementation of the virtual machine against this executable model. Any disparities between the model and implementation indicate deviations from the specification. Implemented within the CPDev engineering environment, this approach ensures consistent and predictable control program execution across different target platforms. Full article

This paper presents an approach to community detection in complex networks by simultaneously incorporating a connectivity-based metric and Max-Min Modularity. By leveraging the connectivity-based metric and employing a heuristic algorithm, we develop a novel complementary graph for the Max-Min Modularity that enhances its effectiveness. We formulate community detection as an integer programming problem of an equivalent yet more compact counterpart model of the revised Max-Min Modularity maximization problem. Using a row generation technique alongside the heuristic approach, we then provide a hybrid procedure for near-optimally solving the model and discovering high-quality communities. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate the success of our algorithm, showcasing its efficiency in detecting communities, particularly in extensive networks. Full article
