Human-Computer Interaction for Industrial Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Automation, digitalization, and robotics have provided an opportunity for integrating human behavior into computational intelligence applications, such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computation for many industrial fields. On the one hand, perceptual integration from cognitive sciences is being considered in the design of human–computer interaction (HCI) systems to decrease users’ visual fatigue; on the other hand, artificial intelligence provides the opportunity to adapt systems to the characteristics of users, improving the way in which they interact with them.

This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality papers about novel tendencies of integrating human interaction in various industrial applications. The recommended topics include, but are not limited to:

• The industrial applications of computational intelligence in human-related datasets;
• The integration of human cognitive processes;
• Human–computer interaction for industrial applications;
• Eye/hand/face/body tracking and activity recognition;
• Natural language processing.

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.

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.
