Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In modelling and control disciplines, new and advanced proposals are continuously emerging, offering new solutions in the engineering field, with special significance in industrial applications. Taking into account the quick improvement of technology, which supports and enhances all areas of study, intelligent techniques have led to a new era where theoretical approaches may be converted into successful, reliable, and efficient real solutions.
For this reason, Intelligent Control (IC) has become a crucial branch of engineering that uninterruptedly presents new soft computing proposals of great interest in a wide range of areas such as mobile robotics, aerospace, renewable energies, biomedical engineering, and computer vision, among others, in addition to multiple industrial applications. Based on this, it is possible to develop any study to the point where the capability of new techniques converges with deep information processing through more complex algorithms and more restrictive conditions, with a big amount of uncertainty in models or with hard restrictions.
IC involves disparate fields such as neural networks (static and dynamic), evolving algorithms (genetic algorithms, swarm optimization, ant colonies, etc.), fuzzy logic (Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno), among others, with a hybridization of all of them.
IC applied to real solutions needs to be covered in specific and delimited Special Issues with a clear profile of applicability and accuracy, reaching the highest levels of the “Technical Readiness Levels” scale.
The objectives of the Special Issue are to:
- Bring together researchers and practitioners from IC and related communities;
- Explore the technologies that power IC algorithms and real control platforms;
- Discuss the emerging problems and open challenges identified by the IC community;
- Share case studies and empirical studies of applying IC;
- Discuss aspects of IC for emerging specific domains.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Modelling and identification using intelligent techniques.
- Intelligent techniques in advanced control.
- Soft computing applied to non-linear control.
- Stability of intelligent control systems.
- Fuzzy control: fuzzy knowledge based control (FKBC); adaptive and non-linear fuzzy control.
- Hybridization of intelligent techniques in control.
- Optimization by heuristic techniques in system engineering and control.
- Engineering applications of intelligent computation.
- Real-time developments in intelligent control.
- Soft computing solutions in control.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
