Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Intelligent Sensors, Robotics and more recently Industry 4.0 are research areas and applications aligned to benefit the research community and society in various domains. Sensors emit a tremendous amount of data (aka big data) which can be captured and analysed using different AI and Machine Learning (ML) tools and techniques. Extensive research has been developed in this area, ranging from theoretical foundations and principles, to practical applications in diverse context including medical, industry, environment, finance, education, to name just a few.

The aim of this Special Issue is allowing researchers to communicate their high-quality and original ideas by presenting and publishing innovative advances in Industry 4.0, computational intelligence and the Internet of Everything (IoE) and their applications.

This special issue explores the convergence of Industry 4.0, AI, data science, and their applications in real-world application, providing a background to problem domains, considering the progress so far, assessing the potential of such approaches, and exploring possible future directions. We aim to increase the understanding and use of AI techniques in tackling the real-world problems. We welcome contributions that deal with all aspects of the scientific foundations, theories, techniques and applications of computing, data and analytics, including, but not limited to:

  • Industry 4.0 applications in health and medicine and other social domains
  • Advances in Image and Signal Processing
  • Computational Intelligence Technology for sustainable real-world applications (Healthcare, Medicine, Education, Business, Culture, etc.)
  • Cognitive Computing and Emotional Intelligence in sustainable real-world applications
  • Computational Intelligence Technology in Data mining, Data Integration and Big Data Analysis for sustainable real-world applications
  • Predictive Models and Analytics Using Artificial Intelligence

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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).

This study focused on predicting the spatial distribution of environmental risk indicators using mathematical modeling methods including machine learning. The northern industrial zone of Pavlodar City in Kazakhstan was used as a model territory for the case. Nine models based on the methods kNN, gradient boosting, artificial neural networks, Kriging, and multilevel b-spline interpolation were employed to analyze pollution data and assess their effectiveness in predicting pollution levels. Each model tackled the problem as a regression task, aiming to estimate the pollution load index (PLI) values for specific locations. It was revealed that the maximum PLI values were mainly located to the southwest of the TPPs over some distance from their territories according to the average wind rose for Pavlodar City. Another area of high PLI was located in the northern part of the studied region, near the Hg-accumulating ponds. The high PLI level is generally attributed to the high concentration of Hg. Each studied method of interpolation can be used for spatial distribution analysis; however, a comparison with the scientific literature revealed that Kriging and MLBS interpolation can be used without extra calculations to produce non-linear, empirically consistent, and smooth maps.
