Intelligence Enabled Research: DoSIER 2020

Computational intelligence is at work across a striking range of problems—from image matching and building energy management to blockchain, disaster prediction, and speech analysis. Intelligence Enabled Research: DoSIER 2020 gathers extended research papers from the second Doctoral Symposium on Intelligence Enabled Research, offering readers a focused look at varied investigations presented by the research community.

One collection, many research directions

The chapters move between methods and applications rather than staying within a single specialty. Topics include a differential evolution-based block-matching algorithm, multi-objective energy management in buildings, and a self-adaptive swarm algorithm for dynamic optimization. Other studies examine digital identity management using blockchain and an optimized protocol for mobile ad hoc networks.

From data and networks to real-world systems

Further contributions explore language identification using emotional speech data from three Indian languages, disaster severity prediction from Twitter images, and energy-efficient communication in vehicular ad hoc networks using cellular IoT. The collection also considers facial-video analysis of changing human behavior, radio labeling of evolving trees, and blockchain smart contracts for logistics.

Research at the intersection of intelligence and application

A final study investigates COVID-19 outbreak prediction using quantum neural networks. Read together, the papers show how computational intelligence methods are being applied to distinct technical challenges—and how different the questions can be even within one broad research field.

For readers following emerging research

This volume is particularly relevant to doctoral students, academic researchers, and practitioners in computational intelligence, computer science, and engineering. Its range makes it useful for exploring neighboring areas, identifying research questions, or finding individual studies connected to a specific technical interest.

For readers who value research proceedings as a window into active work across disciplines, DoSIER 2020 offers a varied, technically grounded set of perspectives.
