New techniques in computational and information sciences have played an important role in keeping advancing the so called knowledge economy. Advanced techniques have been introduced to or emerging in almost every field of the scientific world for hundreds of years, which has been accelerated since the late 1970s when the advancement in computers and digital technologies brought the world into the Information Era. In addition to the rapid development of computational intelligence and new data

This special issue is to facilitate dissemination of recent research outcomes resulting from applying innovative and advanced techniques in computational and information sciences to various scientific and engineering disciplines. The papers included in this special issue were selected from submissions to both Mathematical Problems in Engineering (MPE) directly and the 2014 International Conference on Information Technology, Computation and Applications (ICITCA2014) held in Anyang of China in December 2014, which followed the success of ICITCA2013 [12] . In total, two hundred and sixty-six (266) papers were submitted to this special issue. Contributors were from more than 100 institutions in 25 countries,
