Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital simulation models are currently one of the most desirable industrial solutions, allowing companies to measurably reduce production costs and shorten various process times. Solutions based on simulation, including digital twins, have a real impact on increasing production flexibility and improving the quality of processes and even the products themselves. From a company's strategic perspective, they are often key tools in the decision-making process, contributing to the optimization of management processes. In the era of Industry 4.0, the development and use of simulation models are particularly important.
Given the above, the main goal of this Special Issue is to collect and promote advanced studies in the field of broadly defined smart manufacturing systems. These studies should focus on integrating, developing, and improving all production processes using digital simulation models. Submissions detailing research in the field of digital twin development or computer simulation models are highly desirable. Practical experience through the description of case studies and original solutions within industry operations will bring significant value. Also of interest to this Special Issue are theoretically based works, including methodological and procedural considerations regarding the development of digital simulation models.

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.
