Topical Collection on Advances of Neural Computing phasing challenges in the era of 4th industrial revolution

Scope

We are living in the era of the 4^th industrial revolution. The boundaries between the digital and the biological world are becoming more and more blurring. Artificial Intelligence Technologies are entering all sectors of common people lives (e.g. government, healthcare, education, commerce) in our post-modern societies. It is a fact that we are phasing major changes in the way we are working and communicating.

The aim of this theme issue is to explore the state-of-the-art, methodologies and their applications related to all aspects of Advances of Neural Computing in the era of 4th industrial revolution.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Machine Learning –  Deep Learnin-g
• Transfer Learning
• Artificial Neural Networks – Neurocomputing
• Robotics
• Internet of Things and AI
• Quantum Computing
• Security – Cryptocurrency
• Blockchain
• Boosting
• 5G and AI
• Recommendation Systems
• Automatic Indexing
• Echo State Networks

Submission Format and Review Guidelines

Peer Review Process

All the papers will go through a double blind review process and will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. A thorough check will be done and the guest editors will check any significant similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any published paper or submitted manuscripts of which they are aware. In such case, the article will be directly rejected without proceeding further. Guest editors will make all reasonable effort to receive the reviewer’s comments and recommendation on time.

The submitted papers must provide original research that has not been published nor currently under review by other venues. Previously published conference papers should be clearly identified by the authors at the submission stage and an explanation should be provided about how such papers have been extended.  At least 30% of new content is expected.

Submission Guidelines

Paper submissions for the special issue should follow the submission format and guidelines (https://www.springer.com/journal/521/submission-guidelines). Each manuscript should not exceed 16 pages in length (inclusive of figures and tables).

Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/ncaa/default.aspx  and follow the “Submit A Manuscript” link on that page. Authors should select ‘TC: Advances of Neural Computing in the era of 4th industrial revolution’ during the submission step ‘Additional Information’.
