Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need to reduce time-to-market and cost led the aerospace industry to search for disruptive digital methodologies, procedures, and tools in order to deal with the increasing complexity.
Interoperability is a challenge for production systems, in particular for the aerospace industry. Advanced technology called ontologies has been proven to be an effective tool for achieving interoperability in several domains, such as finance, linguistic or biomedical. Ontologies can provide both a terminology base and interpretations of natural language for a domain of application. Ontologies have also demonstrated values in knowledge discovery of the behaviors and data model definition.
The goal for this Special Issue is to provide a venue to showcase manufacturing ontologies for the aerospace industry and ontology research for manufacturing. We are particularly interested in empirical papers which aim to explore or demonstrate the benefits of ontologies, or of some techniques or tooling which support the development of ontologies. In addition to standard research papers, we welcome the submission of case studies and ontologies of application descriptions.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Manufacturing ontologies research methodology
Manufacturing ontologies methodologies
Ontology visualization
Collaborative ontology practices
Ontology workflows
Document-based ontology for manufacturing
Continuous integration for ontology engineering
Ontology testing and validation
Ontology lifecycle versioning, change, and evolution
Manufacturing ontologies case studies
Agile practices in manufacturing ontologies
Problems and challenges of reusing ontologies
Application of software techniques to manufacturing ontologies

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. Aerospace 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.
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.
