Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mine communication system consists of an originating device, a receiving device and a transmission medium. It relies on the high-speed network covering the underground mines to build a mine sensor network, connecting the mine environment, equipment and personnel through a variety of ubiquitous transmission mediums, and can conduct real-time monitoring, perception, communication and control of mine signs (mine disaster environment, equipment running status, personnel safety situation). Mine communication systems are widely used in coal mines and non-coal mine industries, especially mine safety monitoring, unmanned mining and emergency rescue.
However, basic mine communication systems have been unable to meet the requirements of modern intelligent mine construction. Smart mine systems such as mine safety monitoring, equipment health diagnosis and personnel safety situational awareness have various complex functions of hybrid communication networks. The modern applications of mine communication systems must be assisted by powerful intelligent technology to process and analyze big data and deal with the problems of finding an optimal solution, making the best decision, detecting events, and fault diagnosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) simulates the natural intelligence exhibited by humans or animals, enabling systems to perform tasks without the assistance of humans, or even better than humans. Modern AI technology usually utilizes evolutionary computation, nature-inspired algorithms, machine learning, or deep learning to solve the problems of optimization, decision-making, event analysis and fault diagnosis. The integration of mine communication systems and AI technology is very suitable for enhancing network intelligence, to realize the intelligence of mine communication, which enables the establishment of innovative communication systems and applications scenarios for modern smart mines.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
