Call for papers: African Journal of Research in Computer Science and
Applied Mathematics (ARIMA) Special Issue on:
*Data Intelligibility, Business Intelligence, and Semantic Web*
The Data revolution is a reality in our ever-evolving world. Some authors
tend to say that “*Data is the new oil*”. This is also true in Africa which
is one of the first continents with an increased number of users connected
to the internet. At the same time, there are many challenges in the
continent such as how to tackle some aspects of the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG). Data-driven solutions combined with Artificial Intelligence
techniques, as well as Semantic Web technologies can foster the development
of emergent and intelligent solutions and applications.
In this special issue, we hence welcome articles with a focus on solving
real-world issues in the African context or that can be reproducible to
Africa and that (1) deal with data intelligibility (2) Artificial
intelligence and Business Intelligence and (3) Semantic Web applications
and use cases. A focus of the special issue will be on using data-driven
solutions applied to solve African problems or at least demonstrate
reproducibility in the African context.
The target topics of this issue include (but are not limited to):
● Data privacy and regulation
● Data acquisition and conversion
● Big data integration and alignments
● Data Storage and Validation
● Ontology Engineering
● Data Management Lifecycle
● Knowledge Representation
● Graph structures
● Business intelligence
● Visualization
● Applied Artificial Intelligence
● NLP, Deep Learning and Machine Learning
● Real-life applications and use-cases (IoT, Bioinformatics,
healthcare, Statistics, agriculture, logistics and manufacturing, Social
Network Analysis, etc.)
*Deadline*
● Submission deadline: *August 31, 2021*.
Papers submitted before the deadline will be reviewed upon receipt and any
paper will be published online as soon as it is accepted.
*Author Guidelines*
Submissions shall be made through the ARIMA journal website at
https://arima.episciences.org/. Prospective authors must take notice of the
general submission guidelines with special emphasis that a preliminary
deposit on the HAL archive is required. Details are available at
https://arima.episciences.org/page/instructions.
The special issue reference in the ARIMA journal corresponds to
*volume 35 *with
access code:* 6011a5016b8a1*. Note that you need to request an account on
the ARIMA journal website for submitting a paper. Papers can be submitted
either *in French or in English*.
While there is no upper limit, paper length must be justified by content.
We allow papers with only major revisions to go through the second round of
evaluation for a final decision by the editors.
The ARIMA journal is indexed by MathSciNet and DBLP.
