Design, Modeling, Optimization and Control in Manufacturing Industries and Energy System

Dear Colleagues,

As the modern society becomes increasingly open and inclusive, the systems of manufacturing, energy and service industries have increased in size and have become increasingly complex. Meanwhile, the new methods of operation, including the internet of things and energy internet, are changing our traditional ways of life. Optimization and control processes are basic measures used to improve system efficiency and ensure system performance. A system from initial design to mature application requires a large number of related technologies. In recent years, various new technologies, including deep learning, digital twin, edge computing, reinforcement learning and so on, have flourished. These technologies show great potential in the perception, construction, processing uncertainty and operation efficiency of complex systems. This brings great opportunities and challenges in design, modeling, optimization, and control processes for traditional systems.

This Special Issue on “Design, Modeling, Optimization and Control in Manufacturing Industries and Energy System” seeks high quality works that focus on the latest optimization and control processes in the manufacturing, energy and service industries. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• System design and simulation (digital twin);
• Novel modeling methods;
• Process and system optimization;
• Ensemble approach and advanced control technology;
• Internet of things and energy management;
• Application in manufacturing, energy and service fields.

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. Processes 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.
