Special Issue Information

The Special Issue on Innovation in Computing, Engineering Science & Technology 2026 invites original research articles, review papers, and interdisciplinary studies addressing emerging innovations in computing technologies, intelligent engineering systems, and advanced scientific applications. The issue focuses on the convergence of artificial intelligence, machine learning, cyber-physical systems, sustainable engineering, intelligent automation, communication technologies, and data-driven methodologies to address modern industrial and societal challenges. Contributions related to IoT, edge and cloud computing, smart infrastructure, renewable energy systems, blockchain technologies, autonomous systems, intelligent manufacturing, cybersecurity, digital healthcare, and advanced optimization methods are particularly encouraged. The special issue aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, scientists, and practitioners to present innovative theoretical frameworks, simulation studies, experimental investigations, and practical implementations that support adaptive, scalable, secure, and sustainable technological ecosystems.

Manuscript Submission Overview

Submission Process

Manuscripts should be submitted online through the ASTESJ submission system by registering and logging in to the system. Once registered, authors may submit manuscript until the special issue deadline. All submissions that pass the initial editorial and technical screening are sent for independent external peer review. Accepted papers are published online after acceptance and listed together on the special issue website.

Research articles, review articles, and technical notes are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract of about 250 words may be sent to the Editorial Office for an initial scope check.

  • You can download the Online Submission Guidelines for the step-wise submission process.
  • During Online submission, authors must select Special Issue Paper from the Track menu and then select SI on Mul. Frontiers in Engg. Computing & Applied Sciences 25-26 in Special Issue/Selection. (Screenshot attached below)
  • In the cover letter section, the author must specify the topic from the above list (minimum 1 with maximum 3) and also write the Invitation code in it.

Important Dates:

  • Paper Submission Deadline: closed (April 30, 2026)
  • Acceptance Notification: 4-6 weeks (after submission)
  • Publication Date: 2 weeks after acceptance

Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, except where a related conference version is fully disclosed and properly extended. Authors should review the Instructions for Authors, Editorial Process, Publishing Ethics, Open Access Policy, and Publication Fee pages before submission.

Formatting and Language

For initial submission, ASTESJ journal formatting is not required. The manuscript should be clear, anonymized for review, and organized using the IMRaD structure where applicable: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.

Submitted papers should be written in good English, use SI units where applicable, define abbreviations at first use, and provide enough technical detail for editorial screening and external peer review. Authors may use the ASTESJ template package when preparing revised or final files.

There is no submission fee. Article processing charges, discount options, waiver options, and any page charges are described on the Publication Fee page.

Benefits of Publishing in this Special Issue

  • Focused visibility: accepted papers are grouped under a clearly defined ASTESJ special issue theme.
  • Easy navigation: readers can access the special issue call, Special Issue Editors, topics, and published papers from one page.
  • Topic-level discoverability: each article remains linked to the special issue page, section page, DOI, PDF, and article metadata.
  • Same journal standards: all submissions follow ASTESJ editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, and final editorial decision rules.
  • Continuous publication: accepted papers can be published online after acceptance and then listed together under the special issue page.

Special issue submissions follow the same editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, and final decision standards as regular ASTESJ submissions. Guest Editor involvement does not guarantee acceptance and does not replace independent peer review or final editorial decision-making.

An Ensemble Learning Approach for Student Performance Analysis of a Higher Educational Institute using a SHAP-Based Feature Selection and Optuna Optimization

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page # 1–11, 2026; DOI: 10.25046/aj110201
Abstract:

Forecasting and assessing student performance are crucial for allowing educators to pinpoint deficiencies and promote grade improvement. A thorough comprehension of feature contributions is crucial for improving model interpretability and facilitating informed decision-making in academic institutions. Explainable artificial intelligence encompasses methodologies and strategies designed to deliver transparent and accessible rationales for the decisions rendered by…

TL-SOC: A Hybrid Decision-Centric Intrusion Detection Framework for Security Operations Centers

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page # 30–42, 2026; DOI: 10.25046/aj110204
Abstract:

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) require intrusion detection systems that achieve high detection accuracy while maintaining a low false-positive rate and robustness to evolving attack patterns. However, most existing machine learning-based approaches primarily focus on detecting known threats and often overlook distribution shifts and the reliability of generated alerts. In this paper, we propose TL-SOC, a…
