Editorial Preview for October 2025 Issue

The October 2025 issue of the Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering (JIWE) concludes the journal’s triannual publication cycle and precedes its transition to a quarterly schedule commencing in 2026. This issue presents 21 research papers within its regular section, covering a wide range of areas including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Software Engineering, Recommender Systems, Cybersecurity, and Web Technologies. 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 “AI-Enhanced Computing and Digital Transformation”. The featured studies examine the role of AI in driving organizational efficiency, innovation, and sustainable digital growth. Several papers in this issue also align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—notably SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through studies on intelligent automation, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) via research on digital platforms and system design, and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through innovations supporting smart and sustainable urban development. Beginning in January 2026, JIWE will adopt a quarterly publication schedule (January, April, July, and October), reflecting the journal’s steady expansion and continued commitment to disseminating rigorous, high-impact research in informatics and web engineering.
