Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in agent-based modelling and simulation for industrial assets. It aims to highlight innovative research and practical applications that leverage agent-based modelling and simulation to enhance the operation, and maintenance of industrial assets such as machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. This Special Issue seeks to provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals dedicated to improving the efficiency, availability, reliability, maintainability, supportability, safety and sustainability over the entire lifespan of industrial assets through cutting-edge modelling and simulation techniques.

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.
