Computational Methods and Engineering Solutions to Voice

Dear Colleagues,

Today, voice and speech research is by far not limited to acoustic, medical and clinical studies and investigations. Approaches from different fields like mathematics, computer science, fluid dynamics, mechatronics and biology are widely applied to achieve new insight into and better understanding of the physiological and pathological laryngeal processes within voice and speech production. Based on fruitful interdisciplinary working research groups, many new approaches have been suggested during the last decade. This includes for example highly advanced numerical models (FEM/FVM models) as well as tissue engineering and data analysis approaches. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the newest and most innovative techniques applied in our field. Young colleagues are especially encouraged to submit their work. Authors are invited to submit their work related to the following topics, applying mathematical, engineering, computer science and biological methods, within the field of voice and speech production:

• Computational modeling
• Experimental modeling 
• Computational fluid dynamics
• Fluid–structure–acoustic interaction
• Image processing
• Advanced data analysis
• New technologies
• Tissue engineering
• Molecular biology

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.
