Special Issues
Special Issue on AIFI – Artificial Intelligence for InteroperabilitySubmission Date: 2024-11-15Motivation and Scope With the increasing number of data processing technologies, interoperability represents one of the biggest challenges in gathering information from heterogeneous sources. Data collection involves different hardware and software solutions, the adoption of different formats, and the sharing of different meanings. Data interoperability encompasses how diverse datasets are exchanged, merged or aggregated in seamless and meaningful ways, enabling the extraction of knowledge that can be inferred from the whole dataset but not from single sources. While research in this domain explored diverse strategies, the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a new frontier in enhancing data interoperability. AI can intervene at different steps of the data processing lifecycle: at acquisition time to adapt data collection for future use or compatibility with other technologies, during the storing process to perform semantic enrichment and alignment with a broader dataset, during the data analysis to federate knowledge from multiple repositories. This special issue explores diverse approaches, challenges, and benefits in AI-driven data interoperability, focusing on the domains of the Internet of Things, Big Data, and Knowledge Graphs. This special issue can raise valuable insights into how AI can enhance data interoperability, enabling efficient use of diverse datasets to drive innovation and ease knowledge discovery. The topics of this special issue include (but are not limited to): Middleware Strategies empowered by AI AI-Driven Standardization and Adaptive Data Formats Federated Knowledge Extraction Interoperability solutions based on Generative AI Interoperable architecture, protocols, and standards for large-scale IoT deployments enabled by AI. Automatic design and integration of IoT standards, such as the W3C Web of Things (WoT) specifications, powered by AI techniques.

Special Issue on Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery and DevelopmentSubmission Date: 2024-12-15Motivation and Scope 'Artificial Intelligence' (AI) has recently revolutionized the field of drug discovery and development, achieving breakthroughs in areas such as molecular design, chemical synthesis planning, protein structure prediction, and macromolecular target identification. Despite various computational methods proposed to address practical challenges, the complexity of these algorithms often results in limited explainability of the models, hindering our ability to understand and explain their underlying mechanisms. Given the rapid advancement of AI in drug discovery and related fields, there is an increasing demand for methods that help us understand and interpret the underlying models. Consequently, proposing 'Explainable Artificial Intelligence' (XAI) methods to address the challenge posed by the lack of explainability in deep learning models and enhancing human reasoning and decision-making capabilities have become imperative. This special issue aims to gather papers that focus on integrating and applying advanced XAI algorithms to address the most fundamental questions in drug discovery and development, including drug repositioning, potential drug target identification, and small drug molecule target interaction and binding affinity prediction, etc. We expect the articles covering this special issue can effectively promote the drug discovery in methodology and meanwhile provide interesting insights or new biological observations. The topics of this special issue include but not limited to: Prediction of drug properties with XAI Explaining drug-drug/target interaction through XAI Development of explainable large language models for drug discovery XAI for drug and target feature representation XAI for ab initio drug design XAI for virtual screening drugs Guest Editors Leyi WeiShandong University, Chinaweileyi@sdu.edu.cn Balachandran ManavalanSungkyunkwan University, South Koreabala2022@skku.edu Xiucai YeUniversity of Tsukuba, Japan yexiucai@cs.tsukuba.ac.jp Dariusz MrozekSilesian University of Technology, PolandDariusz.Mrozek@polsl.pl Important Dates Submission portal opens: March 20, 2024 Deadline for paper submission: Dec. 15, 2024 Latest acceptance deadline for all papers: March 1, 2025

Special Issue on On-device Artificial Intelligence solutions with applications on Smart EnvironmentsSubmission Date: 2025-02-25Motivation and Scope The recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the increasing computational power acted as catalyzer for the widespread diffusion of Intelligent Cyber Physical Systems (ICPSs) as a novel way to run smart applications with a “reasoning” component. Unfortunately, the limited hardware capabilities of these devices pose significant limitations on the complexity of the tasks and Deep Learning models that can be run effectively. During the years, solutions like weights compression or quantization have been proposed to address this issue, but they usually require a careful tuning and most of the time they consist in a post-training operation. From the very beginning, the training of complex Deep Learning models has always been reserved to powerful machines with large computing capabilities (typically identified in the Cloud), limiting the Edge only to the inference. However, these solutions do not work especially when latency, security, and high customization aspects become key prerequisites. In such a context emerges the need of novel methods to deliver the intelligence into an embedded system without the data leaving the device. Originally born as a complementary technology, On-device AI is expected to become a hot topic in the next years as a new paradigm where both training and inference processes are performed on the same device. If on the one hand, the possibility to run intelligent algorithms on these systems is a challenging task, on the other the benefits in terms of response time and energy efficiency derived from this technology are going to be the foundations for a novel type of “reasoning” systems. To this aim novel architectures and frameworks should be explored to enable the access to AI based tailored services. Considering a scenario where the Edge would potentially store sensitive data (that should never travers the Internet), it is evident that these devices could become the target of attacks by malicious users. In this sense, privacy and security aspects represent another key elements to be carefully considered and implemented. This special issue has the goal to promote original, unpublished, high-quality research about On-device AI solutions applied to the Smart Environments and Industry 4.0 contexts. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: On-device training solutions On-device AI applications Federated Learning training and inference strategies on Edge devices AI Intelligent Systems AI for Microcontrollers AI applications at the Edge AI methods for Industrial applications AI based services at the Edge Hardware efficient Deep Learning applications Energy efficient Deep Learning algorithms Privacy and Security for Deep Learning Comparative analysis of on-device AI frameworks Implementation case studies Low-power AI applications and methods Lightweight AI algorithms for Edge devices Edge architectures and frameworks for AI Important Dates Submission portal opens: July 25, 2024 Deadline for paper submission: February 25, 2025 Latest acceptance deadline for all papers: June 30, 2025
