Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent manufacturing is an important and developing direction in the industrial field. In the future, industrial production will shift from mass production to mass customized production, achieving lower production costs, higher production efficiency and more environmentally friendly production processes. In this development process, some technologies—industrial mathematical modeling, industrial simulation, mathematical methods, intelligent robots, industrial internet, cyber-physical systems, digital twin, 5G, Big Data, etc.—will become the main technical framework. Industrial mathematical modeling and control theory will provide control algorithms and optimization methods for the production process. Artificial intelligence, computer vision, and industrial data analysis will provide key basic technologies in the intelligent manufacturing system and promote the transformation of traditional production processes to intelligent manufacturing systems.

Therefore, this Special Issue will collect a series of the latest research articles on intelligent manufacturing and related mathematical modeling and simulation methods, including but not limited to, intelligent manufacturing systems, industrial simulation and mathematical modeling, industrial control and optimization, MEMS, computer vision, data analysis and other topics. Your contributions will promote the development of the field of intelligent manufacturing through high-quality theoretical research, such as mathematical methods and experimental research by applied mathematics. The selection criteria consider the formal and technical soundness, experimental support, and relevance of contributions.

Several factors affect students’ mathematics grades and standardized test results. These include the gender of the students, their socio-economic status, the type of school they attend, and their geographic region. In this work, we analyze which of these factors affect assessments of students based on fuzzy logic, using a sample of 29,371 Italian high school students from the 2018/19 academic year. To combine grades assigned by teachers and the students’ results in the INVALSI standardized tests, a hybrid grade was created using fuzzy logic, since it is the most suitable method for analyzing qualitative data, such as teacher-given grades. These grades are analyzed with a hierarchical linear regression. The results show that (1) boys have higher hybrid grades than girls; (2) students with higher socio-economic status achieve higher grades; (3) students from scientific lyceums have the highest grades, whereas students from vocational schools have the lowest; and (4) students from Northern Italy have higher grades than students from Southern Italy. The findings suggest that legislators should investigate appropriate ways to reach equity in assessment and sustainable learning. Without proper interventions, disparities between students might lead to unfairness in students’ future career and study opportunities. Full article

Recently, due to the growth in machine learning and data mining, for scheduling applications in China’s industrial intelligence, we are quite fortunate to witness a paradigm of evolutionary scheduling via learning, which includes a new tool of evolutionary transfer optimization (ETO). As a new subset in ETO, single-objective to multi-objective/many-objective optimization (SMO) acts as a powerful, abstract and general framework with wide industrial applications like shop scheduling and vehicle routing. In this paper, we focus on the general mechanism of selection that selects or gathers elite and high potential solutions towards gathering/transferring strength from single-objective problems, or gathering/transferring storms of knowledge from solved tasks. Extensive studies in vehicle routing problems with time windows (VRPTW) on well-studied benchmarks validate the great universality of the SMO framework. Our investigations (1) contribute to a deep understanding of SMO, (2) enrich the classical and fundamental theory of building blocks for genetic algorithms and memetic algorithms, and (3) provide a completive and potential solution for VRPTW.
