Actionable Pattern-Driven Mining Algorithms and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Actionable pattern-driven mining has received significant attention in the past decade since information discovered in data can be used to support decision and strategy making. Various types of patterns and knowledge can be used for different domains and applications. Hence, this Special Issue focuses on the topic of discovering actionable knowledge in realistic situations and enterprise applications. Actionable knowledge discovery requires innovative methodologies, principles, methods, techniques, framework, theory, and application to handle the above challenges. We thus welcome original, creative, innovative, cutting-edge and state-of-the-art theoretical and applied contributions on this topic, including those that focus on, but are not limited, to the following aspects: (1) next-generation data analytics and prediction theories, methodologies, frameworks and processes to support actionable pattern-driven mining; (2) the development of new machine learning and optimization algorithms for handling the big data environment to retrieve actionable patterns in a reasonable and acceptable time, (3) the design of effective and efficiency principles and techniques for acquiring, representing, modelling and utilizing intelligence in realistic applications, and (4) the investigation of novel trends in actionable pattern-driven mining using AI techniques for different domains and applications, etc.

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.
