Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Equipment maintenance support is an important component of generating modern combat equipment, and is necessary for military forces to carry out combat tasks. With the rapid development of combat theory, weapons, and equipment, maintenance support is developing in a manner that prioritizes intelligence, agility, and initiative . In order to solve common problems in the field of equipment maintenance support, such as insufficient data fusion, insufficient decision-making support, incomplete situation assessment, and inaccurate resource allocation, it is necessary to introduce emerging information technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence; connect data and the decision-making chain across the entire field of equipment maintenance support; and integrate the physical data of equipment maintenance support and the quantitative description of support elements. It is also important to develop models and algorithms for generating maintenance support plans, optimizing resource allocation trade-offs, simulating support effectiveness, and conducting situational awareness and early warning studies pertaining to typical combat operations; achieve the deep integration of elements in the field of equipment maintenance support, the real-time visualization of situations, the autonomous calculation of requirements, data-driven decision making, intelligent resource configuration, and risk pre-warning; and promote equipment maintenance support to enable precise perception, data decision making, and agile responses.

We welcome papers on the following topics:

  • digital portrait and quantitative evaluation technology for equipment maintenance support;
  • technology for the construction and simulation of multi-agent models for equipment maintenance support;
  • autonomous generation and design optimization technology for equipment maintenance support plans;
  • intelligent analysis and configuration optimization technology for equipment maintenance support resources;
  • equipment support system situation assessment and dynamic adjustment technology;
  • intelligent perception and early warning control technology for equipment maintenance and security situations.

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. Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
