Selected Papers from the 14th International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technology Innovation (IMETI 2025)

Dear Colleagues, 

The 14th International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technology Innovation (IMETI 2025) will be held in Taichung, Taiwan, 24–28 October 2025. The IMETI 2025 will cover a wide range of fields in science and engineering innovation, with the aim of connecting engineering technology experts. Professionals from industry, academia, and government are welcome to discourse on research and development, professional practice, business, and management in the science and engineering fields. The IMETI 2025 comprises 4 sub-conferences (ICATI2025, ICBEI2025, ICECEI2025, ICSI2025) and more than 30 regular and special sessions (http://imeti.org/IMETI2025/; http://imeti.org/ICATI2025/). 

This Special Issue, titled "Selected Papers from the 14th International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technology Innovation (IMETI 2025)," aims to showcase the latest advances in research and novel applications across various engineering and technology disciplines. We are particularly interested in topics within artificial intelligence (AI), materials science, civil engineering, Industry 4.0, mechatronic engineering, intelligent computing and systems, computer and information engineering, and green technology and new energy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Artificial Intelligence;
