Energy Optimization for Agriculture and Agroengineering Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the environmental pollution become a crisis and the world is facing. The direction of research is towards the utilization of renewable energy which will help in fulfilling the energy demand and also to mitigate the environmental problems. The use of renewable energy plays an important role in agriculture, where technologies are also being improved from year to year – agricultural production is growing, and machinery and systems are becoming more autonomous and robotic, where it is no longer possible to do without complex computing, optimization, planning and working with large amount of data. Nowadays, a large amount of unstructured heterogeneous data powered the demand to extract useful insights in an automatic, reliable and scalable way.

This Special Issue focuses on issues of modern research related to design, calculations, manufacturing, optimization, planning, analysis of both individual devices and converters of renewable energy sources and large systems that work together with various energy sources. Along with renewable energy conversion systems, the Special Issue addresses issues related to current trends in improving the work of the agroengineering sector. Of greatest interest are studies on the computing and optimization of various agricultural machinery and agroengineering systems. This Special Issue aims to seek the high-quality papers from academics and industry-related researchers in the areas of applied mathematics, renewable energy systems, agricultural technologies, environmental bioengineering, machine learning, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, data mining, multimedia processing and big data to show the most recently advanced methods.

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.
