Dear Colleagues,

Climate change and the consequent problems from contamination have encouraged society to look for a new source of energy, especially clean energy sources. In addition, there are new engineering and industrial requirements which make it necessary to overcome some key challenges. Some of them are, for instance, energy consumption minimization, atmosphere emission reduction, humans’ quality of life improvement, or reaching industrial enhancement requests. Researchers and technical experts must pay special attention to these, in addition to being bound to attempt to improve the current trends based on examples like those mentioned above. Traditional techniques, although they are very important and solve the vast majority of cases, often have limitations. Therefore, new advanced developments are required.

This Special Issue offers a fascinating opportunity to expose and deliberate on the newest advances and real-world applications in modeling, optimization, and control where intelligent systems are used.

The aim of this Special Issue is to promote advancement in, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Fault detection and diagnosis;
• Traditional system upgrading;
• Improvement or new intelligent control techniques and topologies;
• Complex system modeling;
• Optimization of processes and procedures;
• Intelligent system applications over industrial processes;
• Systems efficiency improvement and optimization;
• Intelligent system applications;
• Intelligent control applications;
• Biomedical applications;
• Smart grids and microgrid applications;
• Mobility and electromobility applications;
• Electronics and power electronics applications;
• Internet of Things.

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. Electronics 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.
