Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In real-world applications, noise/domain shift is an issue that cannot be avoided. Agile adaptions without sensitivity to such interferences is a crucial feature of a well-built prognostic model. The current mainstream models adopt an engineering-friendly but costly paradigm that refines/re-designs the previous model/control-principle obtained in old scenarios using newly gathered labeled data from new scenarios. Furthermore, with increasing business-orientated demands such as safety, privacy, and agility, perception/control under these constraints becomes a challenging problem that attracts the attention of both artificial intelligence and reliability communities. In this context, some techniques are proposed to address this issue in relation to domain adaptation (for transfer with full data access), unsupervised model adaptation (for safety transfer), efficient online algorithms (for agility), and fuzzy controlling (for adaptive control).

This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in robust perception and control in prognostic systems, as well as investigating their applications in real-world scenarios. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • New transfer topic in real applications;
  • Neural network in prognostic/control applications;
  • Domain adaptation in multimodal perception;
  • Unsupervised model adaptation;
  • AI security;
  • Efficient online algorithm;
  • Knowledge-based algorithm;
  • Control of adaptive system;
  • Uncertainty estimation of 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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
