Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The widespread realization of Industry 4.0 forces continuous progress in all its embedded technologies. Intelligent manufacturing systems are modern systems of manufacturing that integrate the abilities of humans, machines and processes to achieve the best possible outcome. In this context, control processes directly influence the behavior of industrial systems. They are supposed to operate in a safe, reliable and precise way. In order to do that, several modern technologies are combined together in an integrated design involving artificial intelligence.
This Special Issue is dedicated to interdisciplinary research in the area of intelligent industrial process control systems. It calls for cutting-edge contributions to fundamental theoretical research, as well as application-based research. This Special Issue covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Artificial intelligence for industrial applications;
- Computational intelligence in control;
- Cyber-security of industrial control systems;
- Digital manufacturing;
- Flexible manufacturing systems;
- Industrial control systems;
- Industry 4.0;
- Intelligent control;
- Intelligent industrial processes;
- Microcontrollers, FPGA, PLC, and modern electronic systems for Industry 4.0;
- Specification of industrial control systems;
- Verification of industrial control systems.

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. Sensors 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
