Introduction

A careful invitation is made to present original works that will be published in the Computación y Sistemas journal (ISSN 1405-5546). This quarterly journal, indexed in Journal Citation Reports and Scopus, holds growing prestige. The central theme of the upcoming special edition will focus on recent scientific and technological advancements in data-driven intelligence. Specifically, this edition will be published as a thematic issue titled: Advanced Data Analytics: Trends, Challenges, and Applications. Preference will be given to works resulting from a) research stays abroad, b) postgraduate studies abroad, and c) international collaboration projects.

The thematic edition, Advanced Data Analytics: Trends, Challenges, and Applications, aims to publish high-quality and innovative research that advances both the theoretical foundations and the practical implementation of data-driven analytical methods. This edition welcomes contributions that explore emerging approaches, models, and algorithms, including expert and decision-support systems, metaheuristic optimization, recommender systems, forecasting, and machine and deep learning, among other relevant areas.

Manuscripts offering comprehensive literature reviews on advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence techniques for predictive and prescriptive analytics are also encouraged, particularly those focused on optimization, automation, and data-informed decision-making. Contributions that showcase representative applications, real-world implementations, and complex case studies are especially valued. Authors are expected to present their findings in a way that motivates readers to adopt these analytical technologies to build intelligent enterprises, strengthen Industry 4.0 ecosystems, and promote further research and innovation in this rapidly evolving field.

The editorial initiative, Advanced Data Analytics: Trends, Challenges, and Applications, is part of the Eurekas Community (https://www.eurekascommunity.org), an international and multidisciplinary scientific community founded in 2008. Eurekas unites professionals from diverse fields, including mathematics, computer science, engineering, administration, economics, and social sciences. With over 60 research groups in more than 20 countries across America and Europe, Eurekas focuses on collaborative efforts to advance theoretical and practical developments in data and business analysis, contributing to the construction of society and the knowledge economy; since its foundation, Eurekas has contributed with multiple projects for that purpose. All submitted chapters will be accepted only after a rigorous review process conducted by our collaborators worldwide.
