The Advances in Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence Journal is an international journal that will bring together ideas, projects, lessons, etc. associated with distributed computing and artificial intelligence, and their application in different areas. Nowadays, most computing systems from personal laptops/computers to cluster/grid /cloud computing systems are available for parallel and distributed computing. Distributed computing performs an increasingly important role in modern signal/data processing, information fusion and electronics engineering (e.g. electronic commerce, mobile communications and wireless devices). Particularly, applying artificial intelligence in distributed environments is becoming an element of high added value and economic potential. Research on Artifcial Intelligence and Intelligent Distributed Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications are now deployed. Current work is focusing on Generative AI, Transformers, Fuzzy sets, Fuzzy decision making, computing with words, multiple criteria decision making, consensus and many other areas.The artificial intelligence is changing our society. Its application in distributed environments, such as the Internet, electronic commerce, mobile communications, wireless devices, distributed computing, and so on is increasing and is becoming an element of high added value and economic potential, both industrial and research. These technologies are changing constantly as a result of the large research and technical effort being undertaken in both universities and businesses. The exchange of ideas between scientists and technicians from both academic and business areas is essential to facilitate the development of systems that meet the demands of today's society. The technology transfer in this field is still a challenge and for that reason this type of contributions will be specially considered in this journal. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: Intelligent Environments Applications of AI (Artificial Intelligence Technology Transfer) Generative AI Transformers Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning Fuzzy systems, Fuzzy Decision Making Natural Languaje Processing Evolutionary Computation Legal aspects of Artificial Intelligence Neural Networks Smart Cities, Smart Areas Distributed Algorithms Distributed Applications of ICTs: Trade, Medicine, Industry Distributed Databases Distributed Architectures Distributed Operating Systems Multimedia and D
