Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary Information Systems and Technologies (ISTs) increasingly incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, enhancing their trustworthiness and robustness of autonomy and expanding their applicability across various new domains. These AI-empowered approaches prove to be very effective and include (1) intelligent systems in which expertise, knowledge, and AI are integrated; (2) support via tailored recommendations that provide personalized and group recommender systems; (3) dynamic support to address the complexities of limited and imbalanced data; (4) transparent and ethical support, ensuring explainability, privacy, data protection, trust, and responsibility; and (5) novel holistic software engineering development, verification and evaluation methodologies. By employing AI methodologies in knowledge-based software development, ISTs can effectively analyze vast datasets and extract valuable insights to support IST processes across diverse domains. Furthermore, this AI-driven enhancement extends the applicability of IST to novel domains as advancements in machine learning, deep learning, fuzzy logic  and paradigm fusion technologies enable contemporary IST to support various industries and sectors. To efficiently develop and use AI-empowered ISTs, further research is required in the following topics:

  1. Incorporating AI enhancements into ISTs;
  2. Developing AI tools for engineering autonomous ISTs;
  3. Software engineering for AI technologies;
  4. Explainable, trustworthy, and responsible AI-empowered ISTs, including addressing privacy and security issues;
  5. Innovative applications of AI-empowered ISTs in various fields, including the energy, environment, medical, financial sector, management, education, and engineering disciplines.

This proposed SI addresses some of the most significant recent advances in AI-empowered ISTs. It is aimed at professors, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in all computer science, AI, and IST disciplines. It is also directed towards readers from other disciplines interested in becoming versed in some of the most recent AI technologies as they empower IST.

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. Electronics 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 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.
