Intelligent Approaches to Marine Engineering Research

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, artificial intelligence techniques have advanced significantly. Many fields have benefited from these advances. In particular, the maritime sector, and specifically marine engineering, has benefited greatly from many of the systems that contribute to the navigation of a ship, which are sometimes autonomous, as well as systems that we find on a ship (such as purifiers, servo steering, and propulsion management) and auxiliary systems (such as the installation of various kinds of emergency generators or installations). Thus, desalination plants have been found to be present on deep draft ships. Aside from the presence of these intelligent systems on ships today, these systems are part of different maintenance or construction operations on the ships themselves in all types of offshore structures or in operations related to interventions in docks and coastal areas. In particular, it highlights marine robotics, control engineering, modeling and simulation techniques, and the use of different sensors and actuators for different purposes in marine and maritime sectors.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
