Autonomous Strategies for Structural Health Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue aims to highlight the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions in the application of autonomous systems for structural health monitoring in building environments and related applications. We are seeking original research articles, case studies, and comprehensive review papers that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Advances in autonomous sensor technologies for structural monitoring.
• AI and machine learning applications in predictive maintenance, optimization, and structural health assessment.
• Case studies of autonomous monitoring systems in various structures like bridges, buildings, and industrial facilities, with a focus on AI and optimization applications in improving monitoring efficiency.
• Challenges and solutions in data acquisition, processing, and interpretation for autonomous structural health monitoring, using AI and optimization techniques.
• Integration of IoT and smart technologies in structural health monitoring systems.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
