Applications of Advanced Deep Learning Technology in Control and Intelligent Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, numerous authors from diverse science and engineering fields have explored dynamical systems using advanced deep learning algorithms and fractional differential operators, leading to the proposal of many computational fractional intelligence systems and their reasoning applications. This Special Issue aims to provide an international platform for researchers to contribute original research focusing on the integration of mathematical ideas with optimal neural network algorithms and fractional operators. Interdisciplinary studies encompass theoretical frameworks, computational algorithm development, and applications in mechatronic systems and artificial intelligence. Fractional-order systems, which extend classical integer-order systems, accurately describe real-world physical phenomena. Constructing computational neuronal network models is essential for conducting experiments, either on computers or silicon chips, particularly in exploring virtual brain scenarios. Control systems derive significant benefits from artificial neural networks, facilitating the creation of intelligent interfaces and the storage of imprecise linguistic information. This intersects closely with computational intelligence, including neural networks and genetic and evolutionary algorithms. The exploration of advanced learner models and training approaches has demonstrated growing potential for industrial applications such as data modeling and predictive analytics. Additionally, the combination of powerful fractional operators and optimal algorithms exhibits promise for effectively analyzing and designing nonlinear and complex control systems, thus advancing control engineering. The interdisciplinary topics covered include control theory, fractional calculus, and the diverse applications of neural networks in intelligence 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
