SCOPE
--------
In 2020, Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AMAI)
celebrated its 30th anniversary. Over the years, the journal has
promoted better understanding of the application of quantitative,
combinatorial, logical, algebraic and algorithmic methods to artificial
intelligence areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction,
reasoning, knowledge-based systems, machine learning, computer vision,
robotics and planning. AMAI special issues are intended to be
collections of original research papers reflecting the intersection of
mathematics and a focused discipline demonstrating how each has
contributed greatly to the other. A further goal of the journal is to
close the gaps between the fields even further. Papers should report on
current research in the appropriate areas, as well as more retrospective
papers in which progress has been ongoing over a period of time.

The purpose of this special issue of AMAI is to promote research on
theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software
science, combined with recent artificial intelligence techniques.
Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects
(terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.).
Powerful algorithms have been developed during the past decades for the
major subareas of symbolic computation: computer algebra and
computational logic. These algorithms and methods are successfully
applied in various fields, including software science, which covers a
broad range of topics about software construction and analysis.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods and machine learning
algorithms are widely used nowadays in various domains and, in
particular, combined with symbolic computation. Several approaches mix
artificial intelligence and symbolic methods and tools deployed over
large corpora to create what is known as cognitive systems. Cognitive
computing focuses on building systems which interact with humans
naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.

The special issue is related to the topics of the The 9th International
Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science - SCSS 2021.
Participants of the symposium, as well as other authors are invited to
submit contributions.
