Interdisciplinary Journal of Computing & AI Vol 1, No 1, April 2026

I have the honor of holding the position of Editor-in-Chief for the Interdisciplinary Journal of Computing & AI (IJCAI). It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I introduce the first issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Computing & AI (IJCAI). This inaugural edition represents our vision of creating a rigorous, inclusive, and forward-looking platform for cutting-edge research at the intersection of computing and artificial intelligence. The articles featured in this issue have undergone a careful peer-review process and reflect both depth and diversity in research. We are honored to include contributions from esteemed institutions across the United States, Sweden, and India, demonstrating the global relevance of the themes we aim to promote. A key highlight of this issue is that all published papers are indexed in OpenAIRE, reinforcing our commitment to open-access dissemination, research transparency, and international discoverability. This milestone significantly enhances the academic reach and credibility of the work published in IJCAI. The acceptance rate for this issue is 35%.

The research spans critical and emerging domains, including:

·         A clinically significant study on predicting 28-day readmission risks in heart failure patients, contributing to data-driven healthcare.

·         A comparative and optimization-focused analysis of GPU power management using Python and MATLAB simulations.

·         An innovative AI-based virtual try-on system enhanced with biometric security for design and user personalization.

·         A novel blockchain-enabled federated learning platform enabling privacy-preserving ad preference modelling and decentralized creator reward distribution.

·         A novel integration of computational fluid dynamics with post-quantum secure control in cyber-physical systems.

·         Artificial intelligence in the governance of rural water systems and investigating the challenges, opportunities and sustainability in India.

·         Advancements in privacy-preserving online communication through hybrid cryptographic frameworks.

Each paper embodies originality, methodological soundness, and relevance to current technological challenges. As Editor-in-Chief, I would like to express my gratitude to the authors for their valuable contributions, the reviewers for their insightful feedback, and the editorial board for their unwavering support in maintaining the quality and integrity of this publication. We are committed to continuously improving the journal’s standards and expanding its reach through recognized indexing platforms and global collaborations. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to future issues and be part of this growing academic community.
