Advanced Systems Engineering: Theory and Applications, 2nd Volume

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is focused in the most recent developments in Advanced Systems Engineering, and the development of related subsystems and components.

Advanced Systems Engineering consists of solutions (and respective development) that increasingly rely on intelligent components and subsystems to deliver an improved performance for different and complex applications of engineering systems. In this context, the correct understanding of the interaction and connection between subsystems is crucial for making products that are more efficient and reliable and, most of all, successfully designed for specific successful engineering applications. More than ever, these systems belong to a new generation of more integrated and complex products with more dedicated and sophisticated applications in several domains, bringing together critical knowledge about design, materials, energy, sustainability and reliability.

The topics to be considered in this context include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Aerospace Technology and Astronautics
