Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Connected with algorithms, computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and experimental and theoretical approaches of applied mathematics are visibly present in various fields of industry and services to expand knowledge boundaries and improve global performance.

Modelling, optimisation, and estimation in order to better control the variation of processes and better foresee the potential results are of significant interest to businesses, with a tangible impact and promising potential revenue. Meanwhile, optimal control theory is essential for engineering in terms of product design, processes operation and management, but also for business models and new services in terms of planning, organisation, resources management, finance, marketing and sales, revealing numerous applications in industry.

This Special Issue aims to build a network for engineers, mathematicians, researchers, and academics to share applied mathematics contributions. This Special Issue concentrates on the automotive industry as one of the most dynamic fields worldwide that is experiencing significant changes due to artificial intelligence technologies, but submissions do not need to be restricted to this field.

The topics of particular interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to experimental and theoretical developments, such as:

  • Examples of controlled dynamics;
  • Optimal control models;
  • Multi-objective constraint optimization problems;
  • Multidisciplinary optimization problems;
  • Practical approaches and methods for design and process control in automotive systems;
  • Optimization in performance improvement;
  • Links between design and industrial processes;
  • Business models and performance 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.
