Visual Analytics for Multidisciplinary Engineering Design

Dear Colleagues,

Data-driven engineering design processes have become a necessity, but also common practice in modern industry. As we are moving towards Industry 4.0, the need to maximize the extraction of usefulness and knowledge from data is of paramount importance. It is undeniable that interactive visualization supported by intelligent computational tools is the key technology that can allow this to happen.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to give professional scholars and experts as well as the relevant industrial partners the opportunity to share their original research related to visual analytics and complementary tools and methods for the next generation of computational engineering design.

Topics included but not limited to the following:

• Engineering data visualization
• Machine Learning for engineering design
• Multidisciplinary optimization for real-world applications
• Systems engineering design optimization
• Novel design optimization methods
• Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality for engineering design
• Novel deployment of Parallel Coordinates in engineering design
• Visualization of uncertainty in engineering design
• Visual analytics for engineering applications

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.
