We are pleased to inform you that ASEPELT now has a new institutional partner: the Department of Economics, Quantitative Methods and Economic History of Pablo Olavide University (Seville).

We give you our most enthusiastic welcome and look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration.

Our partner Adolfo Castilla, emeritus professor of Applied Economics at the University of Cantabria, co-founder of CEPREDE and member of the United Nations LINK Project from 1983 until its suspension in 2020, as well as a member of its steering committee since 1990, has maintained for years the blogging platform Economía y Futuro, whose link is: https://economiayfuturo.es.

The following six blogs are published intermittently: Economy, Collective Artificial Intelligence, Cognotechnology and Consciousness, Foresight, Worldviews and Personal.

They can be accessed from the tabs included under the title.

Adolfo Castilla has been a close collaborator of the 1980 Nobel Prize in Economics, Lawrence R. Klein, from 1970 until his death in October 2013, having personally known and dealt with, through his mentor, Klein: John Kenneth Galbraith, Kenneth Arrow, Bert Hickman, Joseph Stiglitz, Edmond Malinvau and several other well-known international economists.

At the Autonomous University of Madrid he collaborated with Antonio Pulido, Bernardo Pena and Emilio Fontela.

Adolfo Castilla has been very active in recent years in Artificial Intelligence, being Executive Director of the company Innovation Wars/CIBUC, dedicated to Collective Artificial Intelligence. Link: https://cibuc.com

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to you because I am the Guest Editor of the special issue: Challenges and New Paradigms for Decision Support Systems in Axioms (JIF 2022: 2.0, Q2 in Applied Mathematics), and I would like you to consider contributing to it.

More than two-thirds of the world economy is digitized. The amount of data available to policy makers is growing exponentially, but the difficulty of managing vast amounts of heterogeneous and complex data also makes it harder to take full advantage of the added value that this large amount of information stored in the cloud brings to decision making.

Recent developments in artificial intelligence have led to notable changes in all aspects of decision making: from the formulation of decision models to data management, including security issues or computer interfaces, artificial intelligence provides a level of access to decision support systems that is more abstract and closer to human decision-making procedures, and facilitates their application in increasingly complex and less-structured decision problems.

This Special Issue is aimed at the entire community of academics and practitioners who want to present novel works on conceptual and methodological aspects related to the integration of recent advances in artificial intelligence in the design of decision support systems, as well as works addressing the imminent challenges that these new artificial intelligence techniques create around the future development of decision support systems.

Dr. Alberto Turón
