Editor’s Note

Abstract

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. After its recent tenth anniversary, the journal has achieved an important milestone. From 2015 to 2018 IJIMAI was indexed at Web of Science through Emerging Science Citation Index. This meant a great increase in visibility and number of received papers. This year, Clarivate Analytics has accepted the inclusion of IJIMAI in the Journal Citation Reports. Specifically, IJIMAI is being indexed and abstracted in Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition and Current Contents®/Engineering Computing and Technology. The Web of Science Categories in which IJIMAI is included are “Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence” and “Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications”. This way, IJIMAI is indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded beginning with vol.4(3) March 2017 so that the journal will be listed in the 2019 Journal Citation Reports with a Journal Impact Factor when released in June 2020. Given this great achievement, IJIMAI Editorial Board has to thank authors for all the papers sent and all the papers published, as well as reviewers for their support to obtain high-quality in papers, and specially our readers because without them this milestone would not have been possible. The present regular issue includes research works based on different AI methods such as convolutional neural networks, genetic algorithms, lightning attachment procedure optimization, or those of multi-agent systems. These methods are applied into various fields as video surveillance, gesture recognition, sentiment analysis, territory planning, search engines, epidemiological surveillance or robotics.
