Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synergy between model predictive control (MPC) and evolving sensor technologies represents a new era of intelligent control. This Special Issue, “Model Predictive Control: Advances in Sensor Technologies and Applications”, explores the multi-faceted relationship between these two fields.
The depth of sensor feedback loops, revealing the crucial role of sensors in MPC, highlights their integral function in feedback control. The fusion of different sensor data provides a broader perspective on MPC and enriches decision-making processes. In the era of data overload, techniques to control inconsistent or unreliable sensor data are becoming increasingly important in MPC. Moreover, the real-time applicability of MPC, when tested via the integration of wireless sensor networks, is both a challenge and a breakthrough. The introduction of soft sensors that can either complement or potentially replace traditional hardware is exciting. Finally, the transformative impact of self-calibrating sensors that redefine the adaptability of MPC is being explored.
This Special Issue aims to shed light on these intersections and foster a deeper understanding of this transformative technology. The authors' insights, research and innovations are invaluable to this discourse.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Sensors.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Simon Tomažič
Guest Editor
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. Automation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
