Abstract
The February 2026 issue presents 17 research papers within its regular section, covering a wide range of areas including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Web and Cloud Technologies, Recommender Systems and Software Engineering. The collection reflects JIWE’s ongoing effort to advance research in the informatics and web engineering domain. A special thematic section, guest-edited by Prof. Ts. Dr. Hairulnizam Bin Mahdin, centers on “Intelligent Systems and the Next Wave of Digital Innovation”. This section studies the pervasive role of AI and machine learning in multiple sectors of industrial automation and disaster preparedness. These studies also emphasize on trust, transparency, and data-driven architectures, demonstrating how converging technologies create more inclusive, and efficient digital ecosystems. Several papers in this issue also align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which includes SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through advancements in medical imaging and disease detection, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) via research on cloud-based systems and industrial optimization, SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) through the development of inclusive sign language interfaces, SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) via innovations in flood management and air quality monitoring, and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through neuro-intelligent techniques for drought prediction. With these alignments, it shows our journal commitment of moving beyond just theory and creating a real-world impact.
