Summary

In our rapidly advancing digital age, we continuously generate a staggering amount of data spanning across various sectors such as healthcare, finance, marketing, education, and government. The advent of big data has yielded both opportunities and challenges, positioning data mining at the core of deriving valuable insights and facilitating data-driven decisions. With its intricate algorithms, data mining has the capability of revealing essential patterns, associations, and knowledge hidden within large and complex datasets. Nevertheless, these extracted insights often necessitate sophisticated computational intelligence techniques to interpret and understand. Techniques like artificial neural systems, swarm intelligence, and evolutionary programming, among others, have become vital in deciphering the knowledge unveiled by data mining and optimizing its algorithms for efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, in our interconnected world, data security holds paramount importance. Data mining, which often involves accessing and analyzing sensitive information, presents numerous challenges relating to information security, such as data privacy, cryptography, secure data sharing, and system integrity. The development of robust solutions to tackle these issues is an ongoing endeavor in the realm of data mining.

The proposed special issue aims to shed light on recent developments and findings in these closely related domains. By offering a platform for expert researchers, scholars, and practitioners from computational intelligence, information security, and data mining to share their latest findings, we hope to encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue and stimulate innovative approaches. Through this convergence of expertise, we aim to expedite the development of more secure, efficient, and intelligent data mining systems, thus contributing to the progression of this critical field. Essentially, the proposed special issue strives to depict not only the state-of-the-art in data mining, computational intelligence, and information security, but also to chart the trajectory for future research directions and applications.
