Mathematics and Computer Science-Driven Innovations in Web3

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce a call for submissions for the Special Issue on "Mathematics and Computer Science-Driven Innovations in Web3", which aims to delve into the profound intersection of mathematics and computer science, propelling innovative developments in the digital era. The emergence of Web3 signifies not just technological breakthroughs but also the collaborative evolution of mathematics and computer science. This Special Issue seeks to explore the symbiotic role of both disciplines in the Web3 ecosystem, deepening our understanding of the digital future.

We particularly welcome research contributions on the following themes: 

Distributed computing and Web3:

• Investigations of the application of mathematics and computer science in building efficient distributed computing systems, blockchain consensus algorithms, and network protocols.
• Smart contracts and formal verification: in particular, innovations in computer science methodologies for designing, writing, and verifying smart contracts to enhance security and reliability.
• The development and optimization of decentralized applications (DApps): utilizations of the latest technologies in computer science to address performance bottlenecks, scalability, and user experience challenges in DApps.
• Artificial intelligence and Web3: explorations of key technologies and applications in which mathematics and computer science integrate artificial intelligence into the Web3 environment. 

We encourage theoretical research, empirical studies, mathematical modeling, computer science methodologies, and systematic reviews. Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide a platform for the mutual development of mathematics and computer science, driving the forefront of digital innovation. We look forward to your contributions that showcase cutting-edge research in the fields of mathematics and computer science, contributing to the advancement of Web3. We anticipate unveiling new chapters in the future of Web3 driven by mathematics and computer science with your insightful contributions!

Dr. Sergey Yablonsky

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. 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.
