Abstract
The manuscripts included in this issue grew out of the 10th International Conference on the Interplay Between Natural and Artificial Intelligence Computation, IWINAC, Olhao, Portugal, June 4–June 7, 2024.
The conference received 193 submissions. 99 papers were accepted for presentation and publication in the conference proceedings published by Springer series leading to an acceptance rate of nearly 51%. The authors of the 18 papers considered to be the most innovative and original in terms of computing and information technologies were invited to submit “substantially extended and updated manuscripts with additional original computational materials based on their most recent research” for possible publication in this issue. Each submitted extended manuscript underwent through at least two cycles of the journal's rigorous review process using the journal review form. All the review process was handled directly by Editor-in-Chief. The substantially extended and updated papers received between 4 and 7 reviews. The seven manuscripts included in this issue passed through the journal's rigorous review process.
