Application of Artificial Intelligence in Rock Mass Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This exclusive collection aims to showcase the latest advancements, cutting-edge research and practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of rock mass engineering. The Special Issue will encompass a wide array of topics related to the integration of AI techniques in rock mass engineering, including, but not limited to: (1) AI-based predictive modeling for rock behavior and geomechanical analysis, (2) machine learning algorithms for rock mass classification and characterization, (3) deep learning applications in rock mass deformation and stability analysis, (4) AI-driven optimization and decision-making in rock engineering projects, (5) virtual reality and simulation technologies using AI for rock mass visualization and analysis, (6) application of AI in acquiring and modeling geometric parameters of rock masses, (7) AI-driven rock mass sensing and measurement techniques and (8) data processing and intelligent monitoring systems for sensor data in rock engineering

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.
