Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the field of complex system engineering (e.g. aerospace, automotive, energy, civil engineering), designers must manage increasingly challenging requirements. System specifications are narrowing due to factors such as safety regulations, environmental constraints, and cost considerations. Development timelines are contracting, and the imperative to establish system performance quickly and with sufficient accuracy adds another layer of complexity. The design of complex systems involves a multidisciplinary process that couples various domains, including aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, electric/hydraulic systems, and guidance, navigation, and control. Each of these areas encompasses distinct groups of highly skilled experts and relies on advanced high-fidelity simulation models.
To face these challenges, multidisciplinary design optimization has become a standard for apprehending the complexity of process design. This multidisciplinary process serves as a paradigm for general complex engineering systems, as traditional design approaches cannot deal with extensive, costly numerical simulations. This shift not only reduces design process expenses but also mitigates risks and accelerates development timelines. Addressing the challenges inherent in complex engineering system design leads to the need for advanced mathematical algorithms for design exploration and optimization. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest approaches and applications involved in multidisciplinary system analysis and optimization. This study focuses on diverse areas, including advancements in surrogate modeling, multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization, uncertainty quantification, dimension reduction, multifidelity modeling, and machine learning.

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.
