Intelligent Data Mining and Decision Making for Prognostics and Health Management

Dear Colleagues,

Data mining and decision making are the foundation of data-driven mathematical applications. Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) is a process that integrates data mining and decision making, including multiple stages such as fault detection, fault diagnosis, remaining useful life prediction, health status assessment, and condition-based maintenance. In PHM applications driven by big data, intelligent and ideal results of data mining and decision making will greatly help it achieve benefits. 

In this Special Issue, we focus on the latest developments in data mining and decision making for health management applications, including but not limited to health management data governance, information fusion, feature extraction, fault knowledge mining, sensor layout optimization, fault detection, fault diagnosis, remaining useful life prediction, health status assessment, optimized maintenance, and some other works related to health management. We encourage the submission of these interdisciplinary achievements that are conducive to PHM technology research so they can be published in this Special Issue, such as data analysis and decision making in medicine, data mining in Internet big data applications, large language model applications, and other intelligent research.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics 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 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.
