Call for Proposals From the ACM Community: AI for Science

ACM is seeking ideas for a wide-ranging new research journal on AI for Science.

Algorithms for data analysis, machine learning, and broader use of data to support scientific insight and engineering optimization have been used for many years. At the same time, the use of modern artificial intelligence (AI), in addition to and as a replacement for modeling and simulation, has been particularly intense in the past few years. These efforts fall broadly in the category of AI for Science.

We believe that a publication focused on algorithmic exploration and theory as well as broader computer science themes relevant to this type of research could be an important addition to the collection of publications. Creating a new ACM publication in this area could provide computer scientists with an important vehicle to present their AI in science work as the primary topic.

At this time, we are welcoming expressions of interest from ACM community members to consider proposing a new journal in this area. If you are interested in creating a proposal for a new publication on the topic of AI for Science, we encourage you to contact us at newpublications@acm.org.
