Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Intelligent Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce that the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing (JMMP) plans to publish a Special Issue entitled "Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Intelligent Manufacturing". This will be a collection of feature papers contributed by our Editorial Board Members and their invitees. JMMP achieved a stage victory this year with its new CiteScore of 4.8 and the confirmation of receiving first Impact Factor in June 2023.

All feature papers in this Collection will receive full waivers while enjoying benefits stemming from open access and JMMP promotions and highlights. The Special Issue will be opened by an Editorial to highlight and introduce the corresponding authors and their research achievements for each of the feature papers included.

Feature papers being sought for this Collection can be comprehensive review/tutorial articles that identify challenges, provide historical views, analyze past and ongoing efforts, and suggest future directions. They can also be research papers characterized by novel concepts and innovative developments. Papers from all related areas are within the scope of this Collection, including but not limited to:

• Monitoring, sensing, dynamic modeling, and control of manufacturing processes;
• Robotic manufacturing systems/processes;
• Human–robotic collaborative manufacturing systems/processes;
• Use of machine vision, machine learning, data fusion, optimization, and other advanced techniques/algorithms to improve the operation, quality, and productivity of manufacturing processes;
• Sensing, monitoring, and control of additive manufacturing, including wire arc additive manufacturing processes.

If you have not been invited and believe that you are among the world leaders in intelligent manufacturing, please contact/email us for invitations.
