Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (ASMBI) invites submission of papers to the special issue titled Frontiers of Statistical Computing and Data Science in the Artificial Intelligence Era. The theme focuses on the integration of statistical methodologies with AI technologies. It emphasizes the role of statistical computing in powering data-driven decision-making and developing AI applications across fields like healthcare, finance, and climate change. The Special Issue invites the submission of papers presenting new methods/algorithms and/or interesting applications of existing methods relevant to business and industry. The Call is open to the entire scientific community, with particular emphasis on papers presented at the IX Latin American Conference on Statistical Computing (LACSC) held from November 3 to 7, 2025, in Valparaíso, Chile.

All submissions will go through the standard and selective review process of ASMBI. Submissions are possible until April 30, 2026, through the site https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/ASMB. Please follow the ASMBI author submission guidelines given on the ASMBI website and click on the box about submissions for special issues, selecting “LACSC2025” when prompted.

Topics of interest: Artificial intelligence, statistics, machine learning, multivariate analysis, data mining, nonparametric statistics, big data analysis, spatial statistics, deep learning, robust statistics, extreme value theory, time series analysis, multi-block methods, high-dimensional data analysis, latent variable models, symbolic data analysis, compositional data analysis, functional data analysis, censored data analysis, fuzzy data analysis, Bayesian analysis, biostatistics and biocomputing, statistical signal processing, text processing, data visualization, resampling methods, numerical analysis and optimization methods in computational statistics, data structure and complex data, parallel computing.
