  IJIMAI 2020 - Regular Issue.

  Vol. 6 No. 2 (2020)

  The present regular issue starts with two articles related to one of the most relevant problems nowadays, which is the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past years, there have been great advancements in health, but the evidence is that it remains a challenge to deal with pandemics and to achieve global health. IJIMAI has always reserved a space for heath topics and in the last years, a Special Issue on Big Data and e-health or a Special Issue on 3D Medicine and Artificial Intelligence were published. As Mochón and Baldominos state, “from a global perspective, a clear statement can be made: Artificial Intelligence can have an immense positive impact on societies... AI is turning into a key player at the time of diagnosing diseases at an early stage or developing new medicines and specialized treatment”. Being aware of this, a great number of researchers and scientific entities are focusing the efforts in this field and, specifically on the current world pandemic, as the researchers involved in the first two articles of this regular issue. The International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence - IJIMAI (ISSN 1989 - 1660) provides an interdisciplinary forum in which scientists and professionals can share their research results and report new advances on Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools or tools that use AI with interactive multimedia techniques. Already indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded by Clarivate Analytics, within the categories “Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence” and “Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications”, during the next month the journal will be listed in the 2019 Journal Citation Reports. Again, given this great milestone, the IJIMAI Editorial Board reiterates its appreciation for their support to authors, reviewers and readers.

  IJIMAI 2020 - Special Issue on Soft Computing.

  Vol. 6 No. 1 (2020)

  The International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence (IJIMAI) covers all types of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. The effort of reviewers, editors and authors have made the journal’s quality to go up every year. Last year, the goal of being included in the Journal Citation Reports index was achieved. It is totally clear to me that the journal could not have grown up that much without all the people that supports the journal. These include the abovementioned editors, reviewers and, specially, the authors, who trust and support the journal with their high-quality work. Let’s continue this trail and keep growing in order to make IJIMAI the influential AI journal that it deserves to be. Last year, a set of very interesting special issues were published in this journal. Some of them are, for instance, the Special Issue on Uses Cases of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Marketing and Neuroscience, the Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence Applications or the Special Issue on Big Data and Open Education. This time, for the first issue of the year, we are glad to present a Special Issue on Soft Computing. Soft Computing is an AI branch that focuses on solving problems that have incomplete, inexact or fuzzy information. In other words, Soft Computing area includes algorithms and methods that are typically used when the imprecision or lack of the dealt data make other type of methods to become useless. Deep Learning, Machine learning and Fuzzy Systems related methods have achieved really good results even when the available data is not as good as desired. This success has converted the Soft Computing area in one of the most important ones inside the AI field. This special issue’s goal is to reunite some of the most recent research on the Soft Computing area. The selected research covers different aspects and problems on the AI area in an effort to provide a clear overview of the state of the art on the topic.
